Terms of Use

Last updated: June 3, 2026

1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Canada Power Insider. These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a legally binding agreement between you and Canada Power Insider regarding your access to and use of the website located at canadapowerinsider.com, including all editorial articles, advertorial guides, and the installer matching lead form offered on it. Canada Power Insider is an independent Canadian consumer-energy publisher that produces sponsored editorial content about residential rooftop solar for Canadian homeowners. We are a media publisher, not a solar installer, contractor, equipment retailer, lender, or licensed financial advisor.

By accessing the Site, reading our Content, or submitting the "Get Matched with Certified Installers" lead form, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must stop using the Site immediately. Because we do not offer user accounts or process any online payments, your acceptance is signalled solely by your continued use of the Site and by any voluntary submission of the lead form.

2. Definitions

For clarity throughout these Terms, the following capitalized words carry the meanings set out below:

• "Site" means the website operated at canadapowerinsider.com, including all pages, subpages, and assets served from that domain.
• "Publisher", "we", "us", or "our" means Canada Power Insider, the independent Canadian consumer-energy publisher that owns and operates the Site.
• "User", "you", or "your" means any individual who accesses, browses, reads, or otherwise interacts with the Site, including anyone who submits the lead form.
• "Content" means all editorial articles, advertorial guides, text, headlines, graphics, images, illustrations, logos, layouts, design elements, and other material made available on the Site.
• "Lead Form" means the "Get Matched with Certified Installers" form through which a User may request to be matched with third-party solar installers.
• "Third-Party Installers" means the independent solar companies, contractors, and providers featured on or matched through the Site.

3. Nature of the Service and Editorial / Sponsored-Content Disclosure

It is essential that you understand exactly what the Site is and what it is not. Canada Power Insider publishes editorial and advertorial guides designed to help Canadian homeowners understand the economics, rebates, net metering rules, financing options, and practical realities of residential rooftop solar. The Site exists to inform and to connect interested homeowners with installers — it does not exist to perform installations.

We disclose the following clearly and prominently, and you accept it as a condition of using the Site:

• The Content is paid promotional material. Articles and guides are sponsored and may be created in connection with featured providers. The presence of sponsorship does not change our commitment to factual accuracy in the information we present.
• The Publisher may earn affiliate commissions from Third-Party Installers and other featured providers when you submit the Lead Form, click a partner link, or engage a provider. These commercial relationships fund the Site but do not influence the factual accuracy of the information we publish.
• All savings figures, payback periods, return estimates, rebate amounts, and similar numbers presented anywhere on the Site are estimates only. They vary significantly by location, province, utility, roof orientation, household energy use, system size, financing terms, and individual circumstances.
• We make no guarantee of any specific savings, return on investment, or financial outcome. Past or illustrative results described in our Content do not predict your results.
• The Publisher is a publisher, not an installer. We do not install solar systems, do not sell equipment, do not provide engineering, electrical, roofing, or construction services, and do not provide financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Nothing on the Site should be treated as professional advice tailored to your situation.

Before making any decision about a solar installation, you should obtain independent quotes, verify provincial rebate and net metering programs directly with the relevant authorities, and consult qualified professionals.

4. Lead Form and Third-Party Installers

The Lead Form collects your full name, email address, postal code, and an optional message. Submitting the Lead Form is a request to be matched with Third-Party Installers operating in or near your area; it is not a contract, a binding quote, or a commitment to purchase anything. By submitting the Lead Form, you authorize the Publisher to share the information you provide with one or more Third-Party Installers and their partner networks so that they may contact you.

Our role is limited to matching

The Publisher does not employ, control, supervise, license, or guarantee any Third-Party Installer. We are not a party to any agreement, quote, contract, warranty, or transaction that you may enter into with a Third-Party Installer. Accordingly:

• We are not responsible for the services, workmanship, pricing, quotes, timelines, warranties, certifications, licensing, or conduct of any Third-Party Installer.
• Any contract you enter into is solely between you and the Third-Party Installer. You are responsible for verifying their credentials, insurance, and reputation before engaging them.
• Disputes regarding installation, equipment, pricing, or service must be resolved directly with the Third-Party Installer.

5. User Obligations

As a condition of using the Site, you agree that you will:

• Be at least 18 years of age and legally capable of entering into these Terms.
• Provide accurate, current, and complete information when you submit the Lead Form, and not impersonate any other person or submit another person's details without authorization.
• Use the Site only for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable Canadian federal and provincial laws.
• Refrain from scraping, harvesting, crawling, or otherwise extracting Content or data by automated means without our prior written permission.
• Refrain from transmitting spam, malware, viruses, or any malicious code, and from attempting to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its servers, or related systems.
• Refrain from launching denial-of-service attacks, security probes, or any activity that interferes with the proper functioning, integrity, or security of the Site.

6. Intellectual Property

All Content on the Site, including the editorial articles, advertorial guides, text, graphics, images, page design, layout, and the Canada Power Insider name and logo, is owned by or licensed to the Publisher and is protected under the Copyright Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-42, applicable trademark law, and other intellectual property laws of Canada and international treaties.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and view the Content for your personal, non-commercial use.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site and all Content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Publisher disclaims all implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Content is accurate, complete, current, or error-free, that the Site will be uninterrupted or secure, or that any matching with a Third-Party Installer will result in a satisfactory quote, installation, or outcome. Any reliance you place on the Content, including any savings estimate, is strictly at your own risk.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Publisher, together with its owners, editors, contributors, and partners, shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, or for any loss of profits, savings, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Site or the Content.

In particular, and without limiting the foregoing, the Publisher shall have no liability for any decision you make based on the editorial estimates, savings figures, or other information presented on the Site, nor for the acts, omissions, services, quotes, or conduct of any Third-Party Installer. Where liability cannot be excluded by law, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims shall not exceed one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD 100).

9. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to, or load resources from, third-party websites and services that we do not own or control, including:

• Google Fonts, which we use to deliver typography on the Site.
• Third-Party Installer and provider websites, where you may request quotes or learn more about their offerings.
• Other reference sources, utility programs, or government rebate pages cited in our Content.

We provide these links for convenience only. The Publisher does not endorse and is not responsible for the content, accuracy, privacy practices, or availability of any third-party site. Accessing third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their own terms and policies.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Publisher and its owners, editors, contributors, and partners from and against any claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Site; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party; or (d) any information you submit through the Lead Form.

11. Force Majeure

The Publisher shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, severe weather, fire, flood, power or internet outages, failures of hosting or third-party service providers, labour disputes, governmental actions, civil unrest, pandemics, or any other event of force majeure.

12. Privacy

Your privacy matters to us. Our collection, use, and disclosure of the personal information you provide through the Lead Form — including how it may be shared with Third-Party Installers — is described in our Privacy Policy. By using the Site and submitting the Lead Form, you consent to the practices described there. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into and forms part of these Terms.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, our Content, or applicable law. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will take effect when posted. Your continued use of the Site after a revision constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms, so we encourage you to review this page periodically.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or your use of the Site are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Canada and the laws of the applicable province in which you reside, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You agree that any dispute that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of competent jurisdiction in Canada.

Before initiating any formal proceeding, we encourage you to contact us so that we may attempt to resolve the matter amicably. Nothing in these Terms limits any consumer-protection rights you may have under the mandatory laws of your province.
