Terms and Conditions
Effective Date: September 23, 2026
Welcome to Lotboard.ca (“LotBoard”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), a software platform owned and operated by M.W.A Automotive Solutions. These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of the LotBoard software, including our Google Chrome extension, Manager Dashboard, and associated services (collectively, the “Service”).
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility and Account Registration
- Business Eligibility: You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are acting on behalf of a registered automotive dealership or legitimate business entity.
- Account Security: Access to certain features, such as the Manager Dashboard, requires an active account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or security breaches.
2. Use of the Service
- License Grant: M.W.A Automotive Solutions grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use the Service solely for the purpose of managing, generating, and optimizing automotive inventory listings for third-party platforms.
- Third-Party Platforms: The Service operates as an independent software tool to facilitate your workflows on third-party platforms (e.g., Facebook Marketplace). M.W.A Automotive Solutions is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Meta Platforms, Inc. You are solely responsible for complying with the terms of service, community standards, and commerce policies of any third-party platform you utilize.
3. Third-Party Platform Risks and Account Suspensions
- Assumption of Risk: LotBoard provides tools (such as dynamic description templates and copy variation helpers) to format and organize inventory for third-party platforms, including Facebook Marketplace. We do not control these platforms, their algorithms, their spam filters, or their terms of service. You acknowledge that third-party platforms frequently update their rules, posting limits, and enforcement policies.
- No Liability for Account Bans: M.W.A Automotive Solutions and LotBoard are strictly not responsible or liable if your personal or business social media accounts (including Facebook accounts) are restricted, flagged for spam, shadow-banned, suspended, or permanently terminated. You use our listing tools entirely at your own risk. You are solely responsible for monitoring your own posting velocity and ensuring your content complies with Meta’s Commerce Policies and Community Standards.
- Website Provider Changes: The Service relies on data structures provided by your dealership’s website host. If your website provider alters their code, limits access, or blocks the extension, the Service may experience temporary or permanent interruptions. We are not liable for disruptions caused by third-party website updates.
- Third-Party Marketplace & Browser Ecosystem Changes: The Service relies on the technical interfaces, DOM structures, and policies of third-party marketplaces (such as Facebook Marketplace) and web browser ecosystems (such as the Google Chrome Web Store). You acknowledge that if a third-party platform or browser provider modifies its interface, restricts vehicle listing categories, or suspends/removes the browser extension, the Service may be temporarily or permanently interrupted.
4. Accuracy of Exported Data
- User Verification: While the Service extracts vehicle data (including pricing, mileage, and features) from your provided sources, data parsing errors can occur. You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of all vehicle information, pricing, and generated copy before publishing any listing to a public marketplace.
- No Liability for False Advertising: M.W.A Automotive Solutions assumes no liability for typographical errors, incorrect pricing, regulatory compliance violations (e.g., OMVIC, AMVIC, or Nova Scotia dealer regulations), or false advertising claims resulting from the use of our Service.
5. Intellectual Property and Content
- M.W.A Automotive Solutions Ownership: All content, software architecture, algorithms, template formatting engines, Chrome extension code, and interface designs provided by LotBoard are the exclusive property of M.W.A Automotive Solutions or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
- User-Generated Content: You retain ownership of the vehicle data, photos, and custom chat templates you process through the Service. By utilizing the Service, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, process, and transmit this content solely to operate and provide the Service to your dealership.
6. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any municipal, provincial, or federal laws.
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or bypass the security mechanisms of the LotBoard Chrome extension or Manager Dashboard.
- Share, sell, or distribute your account credentials, or allow unauthorized users to access your dealership’s instance of the Service.
- Use the Service to transmit spam, fraudulent vehicle listings, or malicious code.
- Use the Service in conjunction with any external macros, auto-clickers, headless browsers, or unattended automation scripts to automatically publish listings without manual human review and initiation.
7. Subscriptions, Billing, and Cancellation
- Recurring Billing: By subscribing to a paid plan, you authorize M.W.A Automotive Solutions to automatically charge your designated payment method for all recurring subscription fees and service-related charges without additional notice.
- Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your subscription at any time through your Manager Dashboard billing settings or by contacting our support team at support@lotboard.ca prior to your renewal date. Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing cycle, and you will retain full access to the Service through the remainder of the paid period.
- Refunds & Service Discontinuation Remedy: For monthly subscriptions, payments are non-refundable once a billing cycle has commenced, except where we determine a refund is warranted at our discretion (such as accidental duplicate billing or dissatisfaction within the first 7 days of an initial subscription). If you are on a prepaid Annual Plan and a third-party platform or browser ecosystem change permanently prevents LotBoard from delivering its core functionality for more than thirty (30) consecutive days, you may request a pro-rated refund for the unused remaining months of your annual term. You agree that such a pro-rated refund shall be your sole and exclusive remedy for any permanent service discontinuation caused by third-party platform changes.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis. M.W.A Automotive Solutions makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the reliability, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability of the Service. We do not guarantee specific sales results, lead volumes, or immunity from listing takedowns or account restrictions imposed by third-party marketplaces.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, M.W.A Automotive Solutions shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, account bans, or business interruption arising out of your use or inability to use the Service. In no event shall our total liability to you exceed the amount you paid to us in the three (3) months immediately preceding the claim.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless M.W.A Automotive Solutions, its affiliates, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable legal fees) that arise from:
- Your use or misuse of the Service.
- Your violation of these Terms and Conditions.
- Your violation of any third-party platform’s Terms of Service or Commerce Policies (including Facebook account suspensions).
- Any claims brought by consumers or regulatory bodies regarding the vehicles you list, sell, or advertise using the Service.
11. Force Majeure
M.W.A Automotive Solutions shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, internet outages, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.
12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the courts located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and you irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
13. Severability and Entire Agreement
- Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
- Entire Agreement: These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and M.W.A Automotive Solutions regarding the use of the Service and supersede any prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral.
14. Modifications to Terms
We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. We will notify users of significant changes via the Manager Dashboard or email. Continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes your explicit acceptance of the updated Terms.
