Terms of use

Beiti is planning intelligence, not legal advice and not a survey. It reads public records and tells you what it found, with the source and the date attached. Every answer is a starting point for your planner, lawyer or surveyor — never a substitute for one, and never a guarantee that an approval will be granted.

You give Beiti a property address. Beiti locates it against Ontario's own boundary layers, reads the municipality's published GIS and zoning by-law, searches tribunal and committee records, and assembles what it found into a Viewport — a document that states each answer, what that answer rests on, and what could not be established.

Beiti then monitors the property: changes to provincial legislation and the Environmental Registry, and municipal records in the municipalities Beiti covers.

Not legal advice. Beiti is not a law firm and nothing it produces is a legal opinion.

Not a survey. Lot areas and frontages come from municipal assessment parcel fabrics, which are tax records. They are stored as candidates for verification and labelled that way. Only an Ontario Land Surveyor can give you a boundary.

Not a planning approval. Beiti can tell you what a by-law says. It cannot tell you what a committee will decide.

Not complete. Coverage differs by municipality, and Beiti says where it is thin rather than filling the gap with a guess. A silence from a source Beiti could not read is recorded as unread, never as “nothing found”.

Accounts are issued by invitation during the trial. Keep your password to yourself; you are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell Beiti promptly if you think someone else has access.

Use Beiti for properties you have a genuine interest in — as owner, prospective purchaser, or professional adviser. Do not use it to compile information about people, and do not resell or redistribute Viewports as your own product.

Your invitation states how long your trial runs and how many properties it covers. During the trial nothing is charged and no payment details are taken.

When a trial ends, your account becomes read-only. You keep every Viewport Beiti produced for you — the work does not disappear. You simply cannot file new properties until you move to a paid plan, if and when one is offered.

Beiti is early software offered during a trial. It is provided as-is, and Beiti may change or pause features while the trial runs. Beiti will tell you before anything you rely on is removed.

Documents, photographs and notes you upload stay yours. You give Beiti permission to store and process them for the purpose of producing and monitoring your Viewport, and for nothing else. Beiti does not use your uploads to train models.

Public records Beiti gathers remain the property of whoever published them. Each one is reproduced with its source and date so you can go and read the original.

Decisions about land are expensive, and Beiti is one input into them. To the fullest extent Ontario law allows, Beiti Group Inc. is not liable for losses arising from decisions made in reliance on the service, including losses arising from a public source being wrong, out of date, or unavailable when Beiti read it.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

You can close your account at any time by asking. Beiti may suspend an account that is being used in a way these terms prohibit, and will say why.

These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario.
