Document Order Terms and Application Licence
Candid Management Group Ltd. · Effective and last updated October 30, 2026
This page has two parts. Part A applies to anyone who requests strata documents from Candid Management Group Ltd., including through our online document-order form. Part B is the end-user licence for the document-order application used by our staff, including its connection to QuickBooks Online.
Part A: Terms for ordering strata documents
A1. Agreement
These terms apply when you request strata documents from Candid Management Group Ltd. (“we,” “us” or “our”), including through our online document-order form. By submitting an order, you confirm that you have read and agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you order for a firm or another person, you confirm that you are authorized to accept these terms on their behalf.
A2. Our role
Candid Management Group Ltd. is the strata management company for the strata corporations listed on our order form. We prepare certificates, such as Information Certificates (Form B) and Certificates of Payment (Form F), undertakings and copies of strata corporation records on the strata corporation’s behalf, as permitted by the Strata Property Act. The records belong to the strata corporation.
A3. Who may order
Some documents may only be provided to people entitled to them under the Strata Property Act, such as an owner, a purchaser, or a person authorized in writing by an owner or purchaser, for example a lawyer, notary or real estate professional. By ordering, you confirm that you are entitled to receive the documents you request. We may ask for proof, such as a written authorization or a land title search, and may delay, decline or cancel an order until we are satisfied.
A4. Information you provide
You must provide accurate, complete and current information, including the correct property, strata lot and unit, and correct email addresses. If you give us information about other people, such as owners or purchasers, you confirm that you are authorized to do so. We are not responsible for delays, errors or misdirected documents caused by incorrect information you provide.
A5. Fees and invoices
- Fees are those shown on our order form when you order, and may include document fees, per-page copy charges, delivery charges and rush fees, plus applicable taxes. Where the Strata Property Act or its regulations set a maximum fee, our fee will not exceed it.
- The total shown when you order is an estimate. The final amount, including page counts and applicable taxes, is confirmed on your invoice.
- We will email you an invoice from our accounting and payment provider before your due date. Payment is required before your documents are released.
- Paying your invoice early does not make your order ready sooner. Your documents will be ready by the date based on the service level you ordered, and are released once your invoice is paid.
- Unpaid orders. If you, or the firm or company you order for, place an order and do not pay for it, its charges remain owing. If you or that firm or company later order documents for the same strata lot, the unpaid charges from the earlier order may be added to the invoice for the new order, and the full invoice must be paid before any documents are released.
A6. Service levels and timelines
- Timelines are counted from the business day we receive a complete order. An order received after 12:00 noon Pacific time, or on a weekend or statutory holiday, is treated as received on the next business day.
- Standard service is provided within the time required by the Strata Property Act, generally within one week.
- Rush service is provided by the date you select, for the rush fee shown on the order form. A rush date depends on our receiving a complete order and any required authorization. If we cannot meet a rush date, we will contact you.
- Delays may occur if information or authorization is missing, if documents must be obtained from others, or for reasons beyond our reasonable control.
A7. Delivery
- Once your invoice is paid, we deliver your documents by email as a secure download link. Each link expires after 14 days and allows a limited number of downloads. Download and save your documents promptly.
- Anyone who has the link can use it until it expires, so keep it private. Tell us immediately if a link reaches the wrong person, and we will turn it off.
- If your link has expired, contact us and we can send a new one.
- We are not responsible for emails that are blocked, filtered as spam or sent to an incorrect address you provided.
A8. The information in our documents
- Certificates and other documents are prepared from the strata corporation’s records available to us on the date they are issued. Information is provided errors and omissions excepted.
- Information can change after a document is issued, for example strata fees, amounts owing, special levies or bylaws. Confirm current information before you rely on it, including before completion.
- Our documents are not legal, financial, tax or other professional advice. Consult your own advisers.
- Nothing in these terms limits any right or obligation under the Strata Property Act that cannot be limited by agreement.
A9. Using the documents
Use the documents only for the purpose for which you requested them, such as a sale, purchase, refinancing or legal matter. Do not alter a certificate or present an altered copy as one we issued.
A10. Cancellations and changes
To cancel or change an order, contact us as soon as possible. We will tell you whether any fees apply. Fees for documents already prepared or delivered are not refundable, except where required by law. Charges for work already done remain payable, including when an order is cancelled, and may be added to a later invoice as described in A5.
A11. Acceptable use
Do not submit false or misleading information or impersonate anyone; use automated tools to submit orders or collect information from our services; upload files containing malware; or attempt to access information you are not entitled to. We may refuse, cancel or block orders and access that misuse our services.
A12. Third-party services
Our online services rely on third-party providers, for example for email delivery, network security, and invoicing and payments. Their services are governed by their own terms. We are not responsible for their outages or errors, but we will take reasonable steps to help resolve problems that affect your order.
A13. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, including lost profits or a delayed or failed transaction, and our total liability for any claim relating to an order is limited to the fees you paid us for that order. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
A14. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The version in effect when you place an order applies to that order. Updated terms are posted on this page with their date.
A15. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the applicable federal laws of Canada. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of British Columbia.
