1. Who we are and this agreement
KanadaWorld.CA™ is owned and operated by PrayingSingles Inc. In these terms, "we", "us" and "our" mean PrayingSingles Inc., operating as KanadaWorld.CA™. You can reach us at info@kanadaworld.ca.
By accessing or using KanadaWorld.CA™, you agree to these Terms of Use and the policies linked from them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
KanadaWorld.CA™ is a marketplace and community discovery platform. We facilitate connections between users; unless we expressly say otherwise, we are not the seller, buyer, employer, landlord, tenant, service provider or professional behind a listing.
2. Accounts and eligibility
You are responsible for information you provide, keeping your credentials secure, and activity carried out through your account. You must provide truthful information and may not impersonate another person or create an account for deceptive purposes. You must be legally permitted to use the service in your jurisdiction and must meet any minimum age requirement that applies.
Email or other verification may be required for particular features. Verification confirms a submitted contact method; it does not by itself establish identity, ownership, licensing, professional competence or trustworthiness.
We may suspend or restrict accounts where necessary to protect users, investigate abuse, comply with law, or enforce these terms.
3. Listings and business profiles
Users must have the right to post the content they submit and must describe goods, services, jobs and properties accurately. You may not post illegal, fraudulent, discriminatory, infringing, unsafe or materially misleading content.
Professional and regulated services must not be presented as licensed, certified or authorized unless the provider actually holds the applicable credential. KanadaWorld.CA™ may request verification or remove a listing that cannot be reasonably substantiated.
Some Business Centre profiles are compiled from publicly available sources. If you own a listed business, you can claim the profile, correct it, or ask us to remove it by emailing info@kanadaworld.ca.
4. Transactions and communications
Users are responsible for evaluating counterparties, prices, condition, credentials, payment terms, delivery, tenancy, employment arrangements and other transaction details. Do not send money or sensitive information solely because a listing appears on the platform. Where a listing offers payment through KanadaWorld.CA™, section 12 sets out how that payment is held and released.
Messages must be used lawfully and respectfully. Spam, harassment, threats, scams and repeated unwanted contact are prohibited.
5. Prohibited conduct
- Fraud, phishing, impersonation or deceptive schemes.
- Unauthorized scraping, automated collection or copying of platform content.
- Malware, credential theft or attempts to compromise accounts or systems.
- Listings for unlawful goods or services.
- Harassment, threats, hate-based abuse or discriminatory conduct.
- Fake, self-written or paid-for reviews (see section 7).
- Attempts to evade moderation, account restrictions or safety controls.
6. Content, moderation and reporting
You retain ownership of content you submit, while granting KanadaWorld.CA™ the permissions reasonably necessary to host, display, index, moderate and operate the service. You are responsible for having the rights needed to submit that content.
We may remove, limit visibility of, label, decline or preserve content where reasonably necessary to enforce these terms, respond to reports, prevent fraud, protect users, address legal or security risk, or comply with law. Reports may be reviewed using automated and human processes. We do not promise to identify or remove every violation.
7. Reviews
Signed-in users can leave a star rating from 1 to 5 and a written review on a business profile. Reviews are public and are shown with your display name.
What belongs in a review. Your own honest, first-hand experience with the business.
What is not allowed:
- Fake reviews, or reviews about a business you have not dealt with.
- Reviewing your own business, a business you work for or are connected to, or a competitor.
- Reviews written or removed in exchange for payment, discounts, gifts or any other incentive.
- Personal information about anyone, including staff or other customers.
- Hate, harassment, threats or discriminatory content.
One review per person per business. You can edit or delete your own review at any time.
Replies from businesses. A business owner on the Business or Business+ plan may post one public reply to each review. Replies must follow the same rules as reviews.
Moderation. We may hide a review or reply that breaks these rules. We do not hide reviews because they are negative.
Plans never affect reviews. No paid plan or advertising product hides, reorders or delays reviews.
8. Advertising: what you are buying
An advertising product promotes one of your active listings for a stated number of days. Depending on the product, it places an ad in a specific position on the site, adds a Featured label to your listing, or both. The product page states which, and the placement named there is the placement you receive.
Each position holds a limited number of ads at a time. If the position you bought is already full, your promotion is queued and begins when the position next becomes free — you are told that start date at the time of purchase. Your run is the full number of days you paid for, counted from when it actually starts, not from when you bought it.
Ads are labelled as sponsored wherever they appear. We do not sell placement in search results for queries your listing does not match, and we do not sell verification, moderation outcomes or removal of another user's content.
9. Advertising: payment, tax and refunds
Prices are in Canadian dollars. Where KanadaWorld.CA™ is registered to collect GST/HST, tax is calculated at checkout based on your billing address and shown before you pay. Payment is processed by Stripe; KanadaWorld.CA™ does not receive or store your full card number.
Before your promotion starts — email info@kanadaworld.ca and we will cancel it and refund you in full.
If we fail to deliver — if the position does not run for the days you paid for because of a fault, outage or change on our side, we refund the unserved portion, or the full amount if it never ran at all. You do not need to ask; where we identify it, we act on it.
Once your promotion is running — we do not generally refund a change of mind, because the placement has been held for you and shown to visitors. If something has gone wrong, email info@kanadaworld.ca and we will look at it.
If your listing is removed — a listing taken down for breaching these terms ends the promotion with no refund. A listing removed for any other reason is refunded for the unserved portion.
Promotion does not change how your listing is moderated. A promoted listing follows exactly the same content rules as every other listing, and buying a promotion never protects a listing from being removed.
A promotional code applied at checkout is covered by section 11. Where a promotion was obtained with a 100%-off code, any refund is of the amount actually paid, which may be nothing.
Nothing here limits a refund or remedy that applicable consumer-protection law requires.
10. Business Centre subscriptions
A Business Centre profile is free. Claiming one, keeping it accurate and appearing in the Business Centre never costs anything, and nothing below changes that.
Business and Business+ are optional paid plans billed monthly or yearly in Canadian dollars. They add presentation and reach: more photos, structured hours and a booking link, a higher position among results your business already matches, a public reply to customer reviews, and — on Business+ — a Featured label and homepage rotation.
What a paid plan never buys. Verification status, the outcome of a moderation decision, removal, hiding, reordering or delay of honest reviews, or presence in the Business Centre at all. Verification is granted on evidence and stays free at every plan. We do not sell a place in searches your business does not match.
Renewal and cancellation. Plans renew automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled. You can cancel at any time from Manage billing on your business profile; cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for, and you keep the plan until then. We do not require notice and there is no cancellation fee.
If a payment fails. Your plan is not cut off the moment a card is declined. Stripe retries for several days, and your business keeps its plan features until the end of the period you last paid for. If payment is still not completed by then, the profile returns to the free plan.
Downgrading hides, it does not delete. Photos, hours and other content beyond the free plan's limits are hidden from public view, not erased. Re-subscribing restores the profile as it was.
Price changes. We will tell you before a price change affects you, and you can cancel before it takes effect rather than accept it.
Refunds. Monthly plans are not generally refunded part-way through a period, because you keep the features until the period ends. If a plan feature was unavailable for a meaningful stretch, or you were charged after cancelling, email info@kanadaworld.ca and we will put it right. Annual plans cancelled early may be refunded pro rata at our discretion. Nothing here limits a refund that applicable consumer-protection law requires.
11. Promotional codes
Promotional codes are issued by KanadaWorld.CA™ and may be limited to one use, to one account, to a particular product, or to a period of time. A code has no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money, and cannot be reinstated once redeemed. We may withdraw a code that is shared publicly, used in a way it was not intended for, or obtained through error.
12. Paying a business through KanadaWorld.CA™ (when available)
Online checkout and held payments are not currently available. Do not send money to someone who claims KanadaWorld.CA™ is holding your funds. If this feature launches, we will present the then-current payment terms before checkout and identify when KanadaWorld.CA™ is handling a payment.
13. Availability and liability
The service is provided on an as-available basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access or the accuracy, quality, legality, safety or availability of third-party listings. To the extent permitted by applicable law, KanadaWorld.CA™ is not responsible for losses arising from transactions or relationships between users.
14. Changes and termination
We may update these terms as the service evolves. The updated version will be posted with a revised effective date. Where permitted by law, continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. We may suspend or terminate access when reasonably necessary to enforce these terms, protect the community or comply with legal obligations.
15. Governing law and mandatory rights
These terms are intended to operate consistently with applicable Canadian and provincial law. Nothing in these terms removes or limits a right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Where consumer-protection or other mandatory rules apply, those rules prevail to the extent required.
16. Contact
KanadaWorld.CA™ can be reached at info@kanadaworld.ca. Send questions about these terms, billing, reviews or your account there. Keep a copy of the version of these terms that applies to your use of the service.
17. Trowit™ delivery
Trowit™ courier applicants must review and expressly accept the separate Driver Terms & Disclosures and driver privacy notice before submitting an application. Approval alone does not guarantee work or pay. Where Trowit™ orders become available, buyers and businesses will see the applicable delivery terms and charges before placing an order. Mandatory worker and consumer rights always prevail.
