RetireIQ is a product operated by Hirevo Inc., an Alberta corporation. This Terms of Service ("Agreement") is a legally binding agreement between Hirevo Inc. ("Company", "we", "us", or "our") and you ("User", "you"), governing your access to or use of the RetireIQ web application and related services at RetireIQ.ca.

By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

1. Grant of License and Use of Service

a. License

Subject to your ongoing compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Service for your personal financial planning purposes. The Service is licensed, not sold.

b. Restrictions

You are expressly prohibited from:

  • Copying, modifying, distributing, selling, or leasing any part of the Service
  • Reverse engineering, decompiling, or attempting to extract the source code of the Service
  • Using the Service for any unlawful purpose or in any manner that violates applicable laws
  • Impersonating any individual or entity, or engaging in fraudulent activities
  • Using automated systems such as bots or scrapers to extract data from the Service without our prior written consent
  • Using the Service to build or promote a competing product or service

2. User Accounts and Security

a. Account creation

To access Premium features, you must create an account and provide accurate, current, and complete information - specifically your email address.

b. Account security

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You accept all risks of unauthorized access and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account.

c. Exclusive use

Your account is for your exclusive personal use. You agree not to share your account or password with any other individual. Unauthorized sharing is a material breach of this Agreement and may result in immediate suspension or termination.

d. Notification of breach

You must notify us immediately at [email protected] of any suspected or actual unauthorized use of your account or any breach of security.

We are not responsible for any loss resulting from unauthorized account access unless caused by our negligence.

3. User Responsibilities

a. Accuracy of your data

All financial planning data you enter into RetireIQ is stored either on your device (local browser storage) or in our cloud database when you enable cloud sync. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and integrity of that data regardless of storage mode.

b. Educational use only

Important: RetireIQ provides retirement planning estimates and projections for educational and informational purposes only. Nothing in the Service constitutes financial, tax, investment, or legal advice. You should not make financial decisions based solely on outputs from the Service without consulting a qualified professional.

c. No guaranteed outcomes

RetireIQ does not guarantee any specific financial outcomes, investment returns, or retirement results. All projections are estimates based on the inputs you provide and assumptions built into the model.

d. Compliance with laws

You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

4. Intellectual Property Rights

All software, technology, trademarks, designs, and content made available through the Service are the exclusive property of Hirevo Inc. or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. This Agreement does not transfer any ownership rights to you.

Your financial planning data belongs to you. When stored locally, you retain full ownership and control on your device. When stored in our cloud database, you retain ownership; you grant us a limited license to host, process, and display your data solely to provide the Service.

5. Subscription and Payment Terms

a. Free version

The free version of RetireIQ is available at no charge and does not require account creation. It uses local browser storage and is subject to feature limitations described on our website.

b. Premium subscription

Premium features require a paid annual subscription. All fees are payable in advance.

c. Refunds

All subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law.

d. Automatic renewal

Your Premium subscription will automatically renew annually unless you cancel at least 30 days before the end of your current subscription term.

e. Price changes

We may adjust subscription pricing for future renewal terms. We will provide reasonable prior notice of any price changes.

f. Non-payment

We reserve the right to downgrade your account to the free version or suspend access if payment is not received.

6. Data, Privacy, and Third-Party Services

a. Local browser storage

In the Free tier and when Premium users choose local-only mode, all financial planning data you enter in RetireIQ is stored in your browser's local storage on your own device. We do not transmit, collect, or store that data on our servers.

b. Cloud database storage (Premium)

When you enable cloud sync, your plan and related records are stored in our hosted online database and associated with your account. Data is transmitted over HTTPS. You can switch between local and cloud storage in Account settings; we strongly recommend downloading a plan backup before migrating. Cloud availability depends on our infrastructure - we do not guarantee uninterrupted access.

c. Privacy Policy

Our collection and handling of account and cloud-stored information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

d. AI features

The optional AI Plan Review feature transmits your plan data to Anthropic (Claude) for processing. By using this feature, you acknowledge that your plan data will be processed by Anthropic in accordance with their own terms of service and privacy policy. AI features are entirely optional.

e. Third-party services

We use third-party providers for hosting, payment processing, and AI features. While we take reasonable steps to select reputable providers, we cannot guarantee their performance and are not liable for damages arising from their processing of data.

f. Cross-border transfers

Your account and cloud-stored information may be stored or processed outside of Canada, including in the United States, where it may be subject to foreign laws.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without any warranties, express or implied. We disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

Financial disclaimer: All projections and retirement estimates produced by the Service are simplified models for educational purposes only. They are not a substitute for advice from a licensed financial advisor, tax professional, or lawyer. You agree not to rely on RetireIQ outputs for any financial decisions without independent professional verification.
AI disclaimer: AI-generated outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. You agree not to rely on them for financial decisions without independent verification.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits any right or warranty that cannot be limited under applicable law.

8. Limitation of Liability

a. Exclusion of damages

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Hirevo Inc. shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages - including loss of data, financial loss, or loss of retirement savings - arising from your use of or inability to use the Service.

b. Liability cap

In no event shall our total aggregate liability to you exceed the amount you paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. For free-tier users, this amount is zero.

c. Data loss

We are not responsible for any loss of financial planning data, including: data stored in your browser's local storage (browser clearing, device failure, or software updates); data stored in our cloud database (outages, migration errors, or account termination without backup); or data lost when switching between storage modes without exporting a backup. We strongly recommend using the built-in plan backup feature regularly.

9. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Hirevo Inc., its owners, officers, and employees from any claims, damages, losses, or liabilities (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

  • Your use of the Service
  • Your violation of this Agreement
  • Any financial decisions you make based on outputs from the Service
  • Your infringement of any third-party rights

This indemnity survives termination of this Agreement.

10. Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, civil unrest, natural disasters, failures of public utilities or internet infrastructure, or government actions.

11. Termination

a. By us

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, for any breach of this Agreement or if your use poses a security or legal risk.

b. By you

You may terminate your account at any time through the app's Account settings or by contacting us at [email protected].

c. Effect of termination

Upon termination, your right to use Premium features ceases immediately. Local browser-stored data remains on your device until you clear it. Cloud-stored data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We recommend exporting a backup before terminating your account.

Sections 4, 7, 8, and 9 survive termination of this Agreement.

12. Amendments

We reserve the right to modify this Agreement at any time. We will provide at least 30 days' notice of any material changes via email to Premium subscribers or via a notice in the app. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada. Any disputes arising from this Agreement shall first be subject to good-faith mediation. If mediation fails, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the ADR Institute of Canada under its Arbitration Rules, in Calgary, Alberta, in English.

All dispute resolution proceedings shall be conducted on an individual basis. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
