Terms of Service

Platform Development & Availability

Beavy is continuously evolving. Features, designs, availability, and services may change as we improve the platform and develop new tools for buyers and creators.

Certain features may be introduced gradually, including creator profiles, directory tools, ordering requests, messaging features, applications, and other platform functionality.

Access to any Beavy feature does not guarantee customer demand, sales, business growth, revenue, or continued availability of any specific feature.

Claiming a Listing & Identity Verification

If you choose to claim a listing, Beavy may request information to verify your identity and confirm ownership of the business profile. Verification processes may be used to confirm account ownership, listing control, or information provided by users.

Beavy reserves the right to approve or deny listing claims to maintain platform integrity and prevent fraudulent activity.Identity verification does not certify food safety, business licensing, product quality, or regulatory compliance.

Directory Listings & Public Information

Beavy may create basic directory listings using publicly available business information such as business name, city, province, public website links, social media links, and general descriptions. These listings may be marked as Unclaimed until the business owner or authorized representative claims and manages the profile.

Publicly sourced listings do not include private or sensitive information. If you are the owner of an unclaimed listing, you may request updates, corrections, or removal by contacting admin@beavy.ca.

Founders Circle Perks

The Founders Circle is an optional early‑access perks for Canadian food creators. Membership is free and provides benefits such as zero commission, free storefront setup, priority placement at launch, early access to new Beavy features , and direct support during onboarding.

Founders Circle benefits apply only to approved members and may differ from features available to the general public. Beavy may update, expand, or discontinue the program, perks, benefits at any time. Beavy may modify, pause, or discontinue the Founders Circle program or its benefits at any time. Any changes will be communicated where reasonably appropriate.

Membership in the Founders Circle does not guarantee sales, customer demand, or business outcomes. Participation is voluntary and does not create an employment, partnership, or agency relationship between creators and Beavy.

Beavy reserves the right to approve, decline, or remove members from the program if necessary to maintain platform integrity, safety, or community standards.

Storefront setup during early access to new Beavy features may involve manual preparation by authorized Beavy personnel, which may include the founder.

Storefront Content & Creator Materials

If you provide photos, descriptions, or other content for storefront setup during early access to new Beavy features , you grant Beavy permission to use this content solely for preparing or improving your storefront. You retain full ownership of your content.

You are responsible for ensuring that any content you provide does not infringe on the rights of others.

Accounts, Registration & User Information

By creating an account, claiming a listing, joining a waitlist, or providing information to Beavy, you agree that the information you provide is accurate and complete.

Joining the waitlist, creating an account, or paying for any future subscription does not guarantee business success, customer acquisition, revenue, or the continued operation of your business. Beavy is not responsible for business failure, lack of sales, or closure of your business for any reason.

• Deliver food or manage pickup arrangements
• Process, hold, or transfer payments between users
• Guarantee food safety, licensing, quality, availability, or compliance

Any transaction, order agreement, payment arrangement, pickup, delivery arrangement, or dispute exists solely between the buyer and creator.

Orders & Direct Transactions

Beavy may provide tools that allow buyers to submit order requests, view creator menus, or communicate with creators.

Submitting a request through Beavy does not guarantee acceptance, availability, fulfillment, or completion of an order.

Orders and purchases are agreements directly between buyers and creators. Beavy is not a party to those transactions.

Beavy does not charge buyers a platform fee for browsing, discovering, or requesting items. Beavy does not take a commission from transactions between buyers and sellers.
