Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and AAREAS Interactive Inc. ("AAREAS", "we", "us", "our"), a company with its registered office at 1120 Finch Avenue West, Suite 300, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M3J 3H7. They govern your access to and use of the Homepix customer portal, the associated dashboards, embed and virtual design tools, storefront pages, and any related services we provide (together, the "Service").

By creating an account, subscribing, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of a company (a "Customer"), you confirm that you are authorized to bind that company to these Terms.

1. Definitions

2. Accounts & eligibility

You must provide accurate registration information, including a company name, contact name, email address, and phone number, and keep it current. Accounts are for business use by Customers and their invited team members. Each Customer has one owner and may add members with defined roles.

To protect accounts, we may require email verification and two-factor authentication (2FA) by text message. You are responsible for keeping your credentials and devices secure and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

You must be at least the age of majority in your province, state, or country and able to form a binding contract. The Service is not directed to consumers as account holders.

3. The Service & subscription plans

The Service lets a Customer research, search, and compare home models, browse Floor Plans from participating manufacturers, subscribe to a selection of Floor Plans within the limits of its plan ("pool"), set its own markup and selling prices, upload and curate media, publish a Storefront, and embed Floor Plans on the Customer's own website.

Subscription plans differ in pool size and features. We may add, change, or discontinue features, plans, or Floor Plans over time. Floor Plans and their underlying data are owned by the manufacturer or other company that created them, or by AAREAS, and are licensed to you only for use through the Service during an active Subscription.

4. Fees, billing & renewal

Subscriptions are billed in advance through our payment processor, Stripe, on a recurring basis (for example, monthly) until cancelled. Before you subscribe, the plan price, billing frequency, currency, and renewal terms are shown to you at checkout, and by completing checkout you authorize us and Stripe to charge your payment method for the plan fee and applicable taxes each billing period until you cancel. You acknowledge that the Subscription renews automatically, that the price, billing frequency, taxes, and cancellation and refund terms were shown to you before purchase, and you consent to these recurring charges.

We do not collect or store your full card details; card information is handled by Stripe. You are responsible for keeping a valid payment method on file. If a payment fails, our processor may automatically retry your card and send reminders, and we mark the account past due. If the amounts owed are not paid by the end of your current paid period, your access ends at that point in the same way as any other lapse (see "Cancellation & effect of cancellation"); there is no grace period beyond the paid period.

We may change plan prices; we will give reasonable advance notice, and changes take effect on your next billing period. Continuing to use the Service after a price change means you accept it.

5. Free trials & promotional codes

We may offer free trials or promotional pricing. Unless we state otherwise, a free trial automatically converts to a paid Subscription at the end of the trial and your payment method is charged, unless you cancel before the trial ends. Coupons and promotional codes are single-use unless stated, have no cash value, cannot be transferred or combined, apply only to eligible plans, and we may modify or withdraw them at any time. We may end a trial or revoke a promotion if we believe it is being misused.

6. Cancellation & effect of cancellation

You may cancel your Subscription at any time from your account in the Homepix portal. Cancellation is handled in Homepix, not through Stripe. Cancelling stops future renewals, and your Subscription remains active until the end of the billing period you have already paid for.

Access ends when your paid period ends. When your Subscription ends — whether you cancel or it lapses for non-payment — your right to use the Floor Plans and any content you created, configured, or made available through the Subscription ends immediately at the close of the paid period. At that point your Embeds and Storefront stop functioning, your subscribed Floor Plans are removed from your pool, and you may not continue to display, embed, distribute, or otherwise use that content anywhere.

Ending your Subscription does not transfer or take away ownership of your own underlying content — such as photos, plans, or listings you uploaded. It ends your ability to access, host, or display that content, the Floor Plans, and the features provided through the Service; you may request an export or deletion of your content as described below and in our Privacy Policy.

This is similar to a content or streaming subscription: the material remains available only while your Subscription is active. Any license granted to you in respect of Floor Plans and Service-provided content terminates automatically on expiry. We may deactivate tokens, remove Storefronts, and disable access without further notice. We may retain your account record and Customer Content for a limited period in case you resubscribe, subject to our Privacy Policy, after which it may be deleted.

You are responsible for removing any AAREAS or manufacturer content, Embeds, or Service code from your own websites and materials on or before your Subscription ends.

7. Refunds & chargebacks

Except where a non-waivable law requires otherwise, subscription fees are non-refundable, and cancelling does not entitle you to a refund of the current period or any partial-period credit — you keep access until the end of the period you paid for (Section 5). Where mandatory consumer-protection law (for example, Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, or a state automatic-renewal law) gives you a refund or cancellation right, that right applies and overrides this Section.

If you believe you were charged in error, contact us at info@aareas.com before disputing the charge or filing a chargeback with your bank or card issuer, and we will work with you to resolve it. Filing a chargeback without contacting us first, or a chargeback we determine to be unwarranted, may result in suspension or termination of your account, and we may recover the disputed amount and associated fees.

8. Your content & licenses

You retain ownership of Customer Content you lawfully upload, such as your own photographs and your company profile. You grant AAREAS a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, reproduce, and display Customer Content as needed to operate and provide the Service, including within your Storefront and Embeds.

You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights, permissions, and licenses needed for the Customer Content you provide — including any photographs, drawings, trademarks, or logos it contains — and that it does not infringe any third party's rights or any law. You may not upload third-party photos, trademarks, or copyrighted material you are not authorized to use. You are responsible for the accuracy of the pricing, markup, and descriptions you configure and present to buyers.

9. Feedback

If you send us feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant AAREAS a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use them for any purpose without restriction or obligation to you, and we may use them to operate and improve the Service. You are not required to give feedback.

10. Intellectual property

The Homepix platform and Service — including all of its software, design, text, and graphics — are owned solely by AAREAS; manufacturers and other Customers own no part of the platform. Separately, each Floor Plan and its data are owned by the company that created it (a manufacturer, builder, developer, or other Customer) or its licensors, not by AAREAS. All of the foregoing is protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms and an active Subscription, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service and to display subscribed Floor Plans through approved Embeds and your Storefront, solely to market and sell manufactured homes and related products.

You may not copy, download in bulk, scrape, resell, sublicense, or create derivative works from Floor Plans or Service content except as expressly allowed. All rights not granted are reserved.

Some Customers — for example, manufacturers, builders, or developers — provide their own home models, plans, media, or listings. As between you and AAREAS, you keep ownership of the content you provide, and nothing in these Terms transfers it to us. Where the Service lets you make your content available to other Customers (for example, a manufacturer offering plans to dealers), you are responsible for having the rights to do so, and you grant those Customers and AAREAS the licenses reasonably needed to operate that feature.

We respect intellectual-property rights and expect our users to do the same. If you believe content on the Service or in a Customer's Storefront or Embed infringes your copyright, send a notice to info@aareas.com with: (a) your contact information; (b) identification of the copyrighted work; (c) identification of the material you say is infringing and where it is; (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; and (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and you are the owner or authorized to act. We will review, may remove or disable the material, and may terminate repeat infringers. You may submit a counter-notice if your material was removed in error.

12. Third-party content & trademarks

Content available through the Service may come from manufacturers, Customers, or other sources. Whoever provides content is responsible for having the rights to it. Canadian "fair dealing" and similar copyright exceptions are narrow and generally do not permit commercial use of another party’s photographs, trademarks, or logos, so do not rely on them — obtain permission or a license instead. Where AAREAS itself includes third-party content on the Service, it obtains any permission or license required, or removes that content on valid notice.

Content provided by a rights holder is consent to its use. When a manufacturer or other rights holder provides, submits, shares, or otherwise makes content available — including photographs, floor plans, drawings, specifications, or other media — to AAREAS or Homepix directly, or to a Customer or dealer for use on the Service, they grant AAREAS and the relevant Customers a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, reproduce, and distribute that content through the Service (including the portal, Storefronts, and Embeds), and they confirm they hold the rights to grant it. Factual information — such as floor-plan dimensions, specifications, features, layouts, availability, and pricing — is not owned by anyone, and Homepix may retain and display that factual information regardless of any later objection.

Homepix is primarily a tool to research, search, and compare home models. Much of its information is factual specification and pricing data (facts are not owned by anyone) or is contributed or crowd-sourced by Customers and users, who are responsible for the accuracy and the rights of what they contribute. Where reasonable, AAREAS uses its own descriptions, data, and representations rather than third-party photographs, and uses third-party photographs only where the rights holder has provided them or otherwise given permission.

Product names, brand names, trademarks, and logos are the property of their respective owners. Where they appear on the Service, they are used only to identify the relevant products and manufacturers, do not imply any endorsement or affiliation, and no rights in them are transferred to you or claimed by AAREAS. AAREAS respects intellectual-property rights and will review and, where appropriate, remove content on a valid complaint (see "Copyright complaints").

13. Embeds & storefronts

Embeds are locked to the domain you register and require the AAREAS pixel to be present on the embedding page. You may display Embeds only on websites you own or control and only while your Subscription is active. You may not remove, alter, or hide attribution or the pixel, or attempt to bypass the domain lock or subscription check.

We may suspend or revoke an Embed or Storefront that violates these Terms, that is used on an unregistered domain, or whose Subscription has ended.

14. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

We may investigate and take action, including suspension or termination, for any violation.

15. Buyers

Home buyers and other visitors are not account holders. As a Customer, you are solely responsible for your sales, prices, representations, warranties, contracts, and dealings with your buyers, and for complying with all laws that apply to selling manufactured homes. AAREAS is not a party to, and is not responsible for, any transaction between a Customer and a buyer.

16. Third-party services & sub-processors

The Service relies on third parties, including Stripe (payments), cloud storage and messaging providers, and font and script content-delivery networks. Your use of those features may be subject to the third party's terms. We are not responsible for third-party services, and links to third parties are not endorsements. The service providers that process personal data on our behalf, and our commitment to notify you before we add a new one, are described in our Privacy Policy.

17. Confidentiality

Each party may receive non-public information of the other that is marked confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential ("Confidential Information"), including our non-public pricing, features, and security details, and your non-public business information. Each party will use the other's Confidential Information only to perform under these Terms, will protect it with at least reasonable care, and will not disclose it except to personnel or contractors who need it and are bound by similar obligations, or as required by law (with notice where permitted). This does not apply to information that is public through no fault of the receiver, independently developed, or rightfully received from a third party.

18. Service availability

We work to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. The Service is provided without a specific uptime commitment (no SLA) unless we agree one with you in a separate written order. We may perform maintenance, and may modify or suspend the Service or features, with notice where practicable.

19. Beta & pre-release features

We may label features as beta, preview, or early access. These are provided "as is" for evaluation, may be changed or withdrawn at any time, may be less reliable than general features, and are excluded from any availability commitment. We may collect feedback and usage data to improve them.

20. Security & incident notification

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the Service and your data, including access controls, encryption in transit, hashed credentials, and tenant isolation, as further described in our Privacy Policy. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If we become aware of a security incident that affects your personal data or Customer Content, we will notify you without undue delay and consistent with applicable law, and describe the steps we are taking.

21. Electronic communications

By using the Service, you consent to receive communications from us electronically — including transactional messages (verification, billing, security, and service notices) at the email address and phone number on your account — and you agree that electronic communications and records satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing. Marketing messages are sent consistent with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) and similar laws, and you can opt out of them at any time; you cannot opt out of essential transactional messages while you hold an account.

22. Export controls & sanctions

You represent that you are not located in, and are not a national of or ordinarily resident in, a country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions, and that you are not on any government restricted-party or sanctions list. You agree to comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws in your use of the Service and not to use it in violation of them.

23. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE, FLOOR PLANS, EMBEDS, AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT FLOOR-PLAN DATA, DIMENSIONS, OR PRICING ARE ACCURATE OR CURRENT. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING SPECIFICATIONS, DIMENSIONS, AND PRICING WITH THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE RELYING ON THEM, AND YOU MUST NOT RELY ON THEM FOR ENGINEERING, PERMITTING, FINANCING, OR CONTRACTUAL DECISIONS WITHOUT INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION.

24. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AAREAS AND ITS SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

25. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AAREAS and its officers, employees, and partners from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your Customer Content, your use of the Service, your sales to buyers, or your breach of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

26. Suspension & termination

We may suspend or terminate your access, in whole or in part, if you breach these Terms, fail to pay, create risk or legal exposure, or if we discontinue the Service. On termination, the rights granted to you end and the cancellation effects in Section 5 apply. On request made within a reasonable period after termination, and where you are not in breach, we will make your Customer Content available for export or confirm its deletion, subject to our Privacy Policy and legal retention needs. Sections that by their nature should survive (including ownership, confidentiality, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and governing law) survive termination.

27. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice, such as by posting the updated Terms with a new date or notifying you. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

28. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the applicable laws of Canada, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You and AAREAS agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved exclusively in the courts located in Ontario, Canada, and you consent to their jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer protections that apply where you live.

29. General

Entire agreement. These Terms, with the Privacy Policy and any order you accept, are the entire agreement between you and AAREAS about the Service and replace any prior understanding on that subject.

Severability & waiver. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest stays in effect and the provision is limited to the minimum extent necessary. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms bind permitted successors and assigns.

Notices. We may give notice by email to your account address or by posting in the Service; you give notice to us at info@aareas.com or the mailing address below.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, such as natural disasters, outages, network or third-party failures, labour disputes, or governmental actions.

Relationship. The parties are independent contractors; these Terms create no partnership, agency, or employment relationship.

No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create any rights for anyone other than you and AAREAS.

Publicity. We may identify you as a customer and use your company name and logo to refer to you in our marketing materials and customer lists. If you would prefer we not, email us at info@aareas.com and we will stop.
