Goodfinity Terms of Service
Last modified: April 23, 2025
These Goodfinity Terms of Service (together, the "Agreement") are entered into by Goodfinity (A division of Level Up Strategies Inc.) and the entity or person agreeing to them ("Customer") and govern Customer's access to and use of the Services. "Goodfinity" has the meaning given at www.goodfinity.ca/terms-conditions.
This Agreement is effective when Customer clicks to accept it (the "Effective Date"). If you are accepting on behalf of Customer, you represent and warrant that (i) you have full legal authority to bind Customer to this Agreement; (ii) you have read and understand this Agreement; and (iii) you agree, on behalf of Customer, to this Agreement.
1. Provision of the Services.
1.1 Services Use.
During the Term, Goodfinity will provide the Services in accordance with the Agreement, including the SLA. Customer may use the Services ordered in the applicable Order Form in accordance with this Agreement.
1.2 Admin Console.
Customer will have access to the Admin Console, through which Customer may manage its use of the Services.
1.3 Accounts; Verification to Use Services.
(a) Accounts. Customer must have an Account to use the Services and is responsible for the information it provides to create the Account, the security of its passwords for the Account, and any use of its Account. Goodfinity has no obligation to provide multiple accounts to Customer.
(b) Verification to Use Services. Customer must verify a Domain Email Address or a Domain Name to use the Services. If Customer does not have valid permission to use the Domain Email Address or does not own or control the Domain Name, then Goodfinity will have no obligation to provide Customer with the Services and may delete the Account without notice.
1.4 Updates.
A. To the Services.
Goodfinity may make commercially reasonable updates to the Services from time to time.
B. To the Agreement.
Goodfinity may update the terms of this Agreement from time to time by posting any such update at www.goodfinity.ca/termsconditions . These updates will only take effect if and when Customer's Order term renews. This Section
1.4(b) (Updates to the Agreement) does not apply to updates to URL Terms.
C. To the URL Terms.
Goodfinity may update the URL Terms from time to time by posting any such update at the relevant URL Term. Unless otherwise noted by Goodfinity, material updates to the URL Terms will become effective 30 days after they are posted. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, to the extent the updates apply to new functionality or the Cloud Data Processing Addendum, or are required to comply with applicable law, they will be effective immediately.
D. To the Cloud Data Processing Addendum.
Goodfinity may only update the Cloud Data Processing Addendum where such update is required to comply with applicable law, is expressly permitted by the Cloud Data Processing Addendum, or:
(i) is commercially reasonable;
(ii) does not result in a material reduction of the security of the Services;
(iii) does not expand the scope of or remove any restrictions on Goodfinity's processing of "Customer Personal Data," as described in the "Compliance with Customer's Instructions" Section of the Cloud Data Processing Addendum; and
(iv) does not otherwise have a material adverse impact on Customer's rights under the Cloud Data Processing Addendum.
E. Discontinuation of Core Services.
Goodfinity will notify Customer at least 12 months before discontinuing any Core Service (or associated material functionality) unless Goodfinity replaces such discontinued Core Service or functionality with a materially similar Core Service or functionality. Nothing in this Section 1.4(e) (Discontinuation of Core Services) limits Goodfinity's ability to make changes required to comply with applicable law, address a material security risk, or avoid a substantial economic or material technical burden. This Section 1.4(e) (Discontinuation of Core Services) does not apply to Other Services or to pre-general availability Services, offerings, or functionality.
2. Payment Terms.
2.1 Processing fees and commission Billing.
Goodfinity will issue an electronic bill or invoice to Customer for all Fees, including, if applicable, Fees based on Customer's use of the Services during the applicable Fee Accrual Period and any relevant Fees for TSS. If Goodfinity reasonably determines based on evidence available to Goodfinity that Customer is at risk of non-payment or that Customer’s Account is potentially fraudulent, then Goodfinity may invoice Customer more frequently. Customer will pay all Fees in the currency stated in the bill or invoice. If Customer pays by credit card, debit card, or other non-invoiced form of payment, Customer will pay all Fees immediately at the end of the Fee Accrual Period or when otherwise charged by Goodfinity. If Customer pays by invoice, Customer will pay Goodfinity all invoiced amounts by the Payment Due Date. Unless required by law, Customer's obligation to pay all Fees is non-cancellable. For Goodfinity Services Goodfinity's measurement tools will be used to determine Customer's usage of the Services. Goodfinity has no obligation to provide multiple bills. Payments made via wire transfer must include the bank information provided by Goodfinity. Late payment will be subject to additional fees and carrying costs.
2.1.1 Calculating Fees.
All fees are in Canadian Currency. The fees will be charged based on the dollar amount or alternate unit of measure that is then converted to a dollar amount on the reports generated by the food bank. Donations based on weight in pounds or kilograms will be converted into dollars via the prevailing Food Bank of Canada rate ($3.58/lb for example). Custom calculations such as Kilometers or fuel or other commodities will be converted to dollars via a reasonable conversion ratio that will be made available to the food bank upon request. Goodfinity is not required to disclose the conversion rate prior to billing fees. Any fees billed will be deemed payable upon receipt.
2.1.1 (a) Billable Reporting.
Reports will be considered generated and therefore incur fees if they have been generated by the food bank or an authorized user of the food bank with a donation amount listed on the report either dollars or a quantity convertible to dollars. Whether or not the report has been sent to the donor is not the determining factor for incurring fees. The food bank will have the option to send the report generated for a specific donation to as many as 5 different email or phone numbers or a combination of the 2 without incurring any additional charges as long the additional issues of the report are linked to the original donation and donor and not supplementary donations or different donors.
2.1.1.1 Account Billing Options.
Goodfinity’s measurement tools will be used to determine Customer’s usage of the Services. Customer may elect one of the billing options below or any other option offered by Goodfinity when Customer places its order for the Services.
(a) Flexible Plan. If Customer selects this option, Customer will not be committed to purchase the Services for a pre-defined term, but will pay Fees based on its daily usage of the Services, billed monthly in arrears. Any partial day of Services usage will be rounded up to a full day of Services usage for the purposes of calculating Fees.
(b) Annual/Fixed-Term Plan. If Customer selects this option, Customer will be committed to purchasing the Services for one or more annual terms (as selected by Customer). Goodfinity will bill Customer according to the terms associated with Customer’s elections on the Order Form. Goodfinity may change its offering of billing options (including by limiting or ceasing to offer any billing option) upon 30 days’ notice to Customer and any such change will take effect at the beginning of Customer’s next Order Term. Billing options may not be available to all customers. Customer may pay for the Services using the payment options listed in Section 2.2 (Payment) below.
2.2 Payment.
All payments are due in the currency stated on the Order Form or invoice.
(a) Credit Card or Debit Card. If Customer is paying with a credit card, debit card, or other non-invoice form of payment payments are due at the end of the month during which Customer received the Services. For credit cards or debit cards, as applicable: (i) Goodfinity will issue an electronic bill for all applicable Fees when due, and (ii) these Fees are considered overdue 30 days after the end of the month during which Customer received the Services.
(b) Invoices. Payments for invoices are due 30 days after the invoice date (unless otherwise specified on the Order Form) and are considered overdue after such date.
(c) Other Forms of Payment. Customer may change its payment method to any other method that Goodfinity may enable in the Admin Console, subject to acceptance by Customer of any additional terms applicable to that payment method.
(d) Payment Information. Payments made via wire transfer must include the bank information provided by Goodfinity.
2.3 Taxes.
(a) Customer is responsible for any Taxes, and will pay Goodfinity for the Services without any reduction for Taxes. If Goodfinity is obligated to collect or pay any Taxes, the Taxes will be invoiced to Customer and Customer will pay such Taxes to Goodfinity, unless Customer provides Goodfinity with a timely and valid tax exemption certificate in respect of those Taxes.
(b) Customer will provide Goodfinity with any applicable tax identification information that Goodfinity may require under applicable law to ensure its compliance with applicable tax regulations and authorities in applicable jurisdictions. Customer will be liable to pay (or reimburse Goodfinity for) any taxes, interest, penalties, or fines arising out of any mis-declaration by Customer.
2.4 Payment Disputes.
Any payment disputes must be submitted in good faith before the payment due date. If Goodfinity, having reviewed the dispute in good faith, determines that certain billing inaccuracies are attributable to Goodfinity, Goodfinity will not issue a corrected invoice, but will instead issue a credit memo specifying the incorrect amount in the affected invoice. If a disputed invoice has not yet been paid, Goodfinity will apply the credit memo amount to the disputed invoice and Customer will be responsible for paying the resulting net balance due on that invoice. Nothing in this Agreement obligates Goodfinity to extend credit to any party.
2.5 Delinquent Payments; Suspension.
Late payments (which, for clarity, do not include amounts subject to a good faith payment dispute submitted before the payment due date) may bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) from the payment due date until paid in full. Customer will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Goodfinity in collecting such delinquent amounts. Further, in the event of any late payment for the Services, Goodfinity may Suspend the Services.
2.6 No Purchase Order Number Required.
Customer is obligated to pay all applicable Fees without any requirement for Goodfinity to provide a purchase order number on Goodfinity's invoice (or otherwise).
2.7 Price Revisions. Goodfinity may change the Prices at any time unless otherwise expressly agreed in an addendum or Order Form. Goodfinity will notify Customer at least 30 days in advance of any changes. Customer's pricing will change if and when Customer's Order Term renews after the 30-day period.
3. Customer Obligations.

Customer will (a) ensure that Customer and its End Users' use of the Services complies with the Agreement, (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent and terminate any unauthorized use of, or access to, the Services, and (c) promptly notify Goodfinity if Customer becomes aware of any unauthorized use of, or access to, the Services, Account, or Customer's password.

Customer agrees that Goodfinity’s responsibilities do not extend to the internal management or administration of the Services for Customer or any End Users.
3.6 Abuse Monitoring.
Customer is solely responsible for monitoring, responding to, and otherwise processing reports or emails sent to the "abuse" and "postmaster" aliases for Customer Domain Names, but Goodfinity may monitor emails sent to these aliases to allow Goodfinity to identify Services abuse.
3.7 Requesting Additional End User Accounts During Order Term.
