Terms of Service

Last updated: August 2026
Note: this is a starting-point terms of service page. It hasn't been reviewed by a lawyer, and it should be before you publish it — particularly the disclaimers around the calculators and tools, and the liability section, which should be tailored to your actual organization and how the site is used.

Agreement to these terms

By using the Better Way Alliance website, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

Who we are

The Better Way Alliance is a network of Canadian businesses working toward better wages, fairer commercial rent, and stronger local economies. This site provides information about our work, free tools for business owners, and a directory of member businesses.

Using our tools and calculators

Our cash flow, turnover, and paid sick days calculators are provided to help you think through decisions for your business. They rely on figures you enter and general assumptions, and the results are estimates only — not financial, legal, accounting, or tax advice. You should confirm any figures that matter to your business with your own advisors before acting on them.

Member directory and gift guide

Business listings, product entries, and any other content submitted by members are provided by those businesses themselves. We don't independently verify every detail, and a listing isn't an endorsement of a business's products, services, or practices. If something in a listing looks wrong, let us know and we'll look into it.

Membership

Submitting a membership application doesn't guarantee acceptance. We may decline or remove a membership at our discretion, including if a business's practices don't align with what the Better Way Alliance stands for.

Acceptable use

When using this site, please don't:

Intellectual property

The text, design, and tools on this site belong to the Better Way Alliance unless otherwise noted. Logos and content submitted by member businesses remain their own property. You're welcome to link to our site; please reach out before reproducing our content elsewhere.

Third-party links and services

Our site links to member businesses' own websites and to external services such as CommercialRent.ca. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content, availability, or practices.

Disclaimer

This site and its tools are provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. We do our best to keep information accurate and tools working correctly, but we can't guarantee the site will always be available, error-free, or perfectly suited to your specific situation.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, the Better Way Alliance isn't liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site or reliance on any information or tool it provides.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We'll update the date at the top of this page when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable within it.
