1. Confidentiality
All pricing, invoices, supplier details, and account data shared between you and CIPPS Consulting Ltd. are kept strictly confidential. We never disclose your information to third parties - including suppliers - without your written consent, except where required by law.
2. Proprietary software & methodology
The CIPPS platform, including its dashboards, benchmarking logic, rack-rate data, discount formulas, volume-tier rules, savings estimates, and the underlying calculation methodology used to generate them, is the proprietary property of CIPPS Consulting Ltd. Access is licensed, not sold. You may not copy, reverse-engineer, resell, redistribute, or create derivative works from any part of the software or its outputs.
3. Prohibited uses
You may not, and may not authorize, assist, or permit any third party to:
- Reverse-engineer the platform - decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, internal structure, or design of any part of the service.
- Derive the calculation methodology - attempt to discover, reconstruct, or reproduce the discount formulas, benchmarking algorithms, volume-tier rules, savings models, or any other proprietary logic used by the platform, whether by inspection, testing, statistical inference, or otherwise.
- Scrape or automate data collection - use any bot, crawler, scraper, headless browser, AI agent, or other automated means to access the platform, monitor pricing, or extract rack-rate data, savings estimates, or any other content, without our prior written consent.
- Make unauthorized commercial use- resell, republish, license, or otherwise commercially exploit the platform’s rack-rate data, calculations, methodology, or outputs; or use them to build, train, market, or operate a competing or derivative service.
- Misuse the service - submit false or misleading information, impose an unreasonable load on the infrastructure, circumvent rate limits or access controls, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, data, or system.
These restrictions apply during your use of the service and survive cancellation. Breach is grounds for immediate termination of access and may give rise to claims for damages, injunctive relief, and any other remedies available at law or in equity. We may pursue these remedies in addition to, and not in limitation of, any rights under copyright, trade-secret, contract, or other applicable law.
4. CIPPS Client fees & billing
The Basic price checker is free. CIPPS Client accounts pay a performance fee - a percentage of the fuel savings CIPPS documents each month, as agreed with you in your service agreement - there is no fixed subscription and no up-front cost. If no savings are documented in a given month, no fee is charged for that month. Fees are calculated from the invoices you upload, invoiced monthly through Stripe, and due on receipt.
CIPPS Client accounts are provisioned by CIPPS admin only - there is no self-serve signup or checkout for this tier. Your negotiated rate, volume, and account details are agreed with CIPPS before the account is activated.
5. Term & cancellation
CIPPS Client accounts carry a minimum term of one (1) year from activation. After the initial term, service continues until either party ends it with reasonable written notice. On termination:
- Any performance fees for savings documented before termination remain payable.
- Your access to dashboards, monitoring, and stored pricing history is terminated.
- If you later re-engage CIPPS, your account starts fresh - prior price history and data are not restored.
6. No guarantee of savings
Savings estimates are based on available market data and represent potential outcomes, not guarantees. CIPPS does not control supplier rates, rack pricing, or fuel markets, and cannot guarantee any specific result.
7. Acceptable use
You agree to provide accurate information and to use the platform only for your own legitimate fuel-procurement purposes, in compliance with these terms and all applicable laws.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CIPPS Consulting Ltd. is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Our total liability is limited to the fees you paid in the three months preceding the claim.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
