Terms of use

Last updated: [NEEDS: date]

The short version

  • GoSelfRep gives legal information and document tools, not legal advice.
  • We are not your lawyer or paralegal, and we don't act for you.
  • You review, sign, file and serve your own documents, and you keep track of your deadlines.
  • You pay once per matter. There are no subscriptions. Court fees are paid to the court.
  • These terms follow the laws of Ontario.

Using GoSelfRep

GoSelfRep (goselfrep.ca) is operated by [NEEDS: legal name]. By using the site or creating an account, you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you don't agree, please don't use GoSelfRep.

GoSelfRep provides legal information and document tools, not legal advice. Our guides, tools and drafts explain how Small Claims Court usually works. They do not tell you what you should do in your own case, and they are not a substitute for advice from a lawyer or licensed paralegal.

We are not your representative

Using GoSelfRep does not create a lawyer-client relationship or any other representative relationship. We are not a law firm or a paralegal firm. We don't appear in court, speak for you, review your documents or file them for you.

GoSelfRep is not affiliated with, or approved by, the Government of Ontario or the courts.

Your responsibilities

  • Give true and complete information.
  • Read and check every document before you sign, file or serve it.
  • File and serve your documents yourself, the right way and on time.
  • Keep track of your deadlines and confirm them with the court office.
  • Pay any court fees to the court.

Accuracy and [VERIFY] markers

We work to keep our information correct and current. Every rule, deadline, fee and form we show has a source and a last-checked date. Rules and fees can still change.

Where we have not yet confirmed a detail, we show [VERIFY] instead of guessing. Check those details with the court office before you rely on them. Dates from our tools are estimates: service by mail and holidays can change a deadline.

Drafts prepared with AI can contain mistakes. You decide what goes into each document.

Your account

  • You must be 18 or older to create an account.
  • Keep your password private. You are responsible for what happens in your account.
  • Tell us right away if you think someone else has used your account.

Payments

  • Prices are in Canadian dollars. Sales tax, if any, is shown at checkout.
  • Each payment is a one-time payment for one matter (one court case). There are no subscriptions.
  • Payments are processed by PayPal. Your access opens once PayPal confirms the payment.
  • Court filing fees are not included. You pay them to the court; GoSelfRep never collects them.
  • If you upgrade a matter to a higher plan, you pay the difference in price.

Refunds

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use GoSelfRep for anything unlawful, or to harass or threaten anyone;
  • prepare documents you know are false or misleading;
  • upload someone else's personal information unless you need it for your case;
  • upload harmful files, or try to break into or overload the site;
  • copy, scrape or resell our content or tools.

Your content and ours

What you write and upload stays yours. You allow us to store and process it only to provide GoSelfRep to you, as described in our privacy policy. The site's design, text and tools belong to GoSelfRep. The official court forms belong to their publishers; we link to them and never host or redraw them.

Ending your use

You can delete your account at any time from your account settings. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. Inactive matters are deleted as described in our privacy policy.

Limitation of liability

GoSelfRep is provided "as is". To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not responsible for the outcome of your case, for missed deadlines, or for indirect or consequential losses. Our total responsibility to you for any claim about a matter is limited to the amount you paid us for that matter. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under Ontario consumer protection law that cannot be limited.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. Any dispute about them will be handled by the courts of Ontario.

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, we will update the date at the top. If a change is important, we will tell you by email before it takes effect.
