Effective upon: May 1st, 2026
Last updated: March 13th, 2026
1. Introduction
Windfal Technologies Inc. ("Windfal", "us", "we", or "our") owns and operates an online platform consisting of Windfal's website https://www.windfal.com/ (the "Windfal Website"), Windfal's mobile application (the "Windfal App") and Windfal's web-based customer relationship management portal (the "Windfal Portal"). The Windfal Website, Windfal App and Windfal Portal have been designed for homeowners (each, a "Homeowner"), real estate agents (each, an "Agent") and third-party providers of home maintenance, renovation and repair services (each, a "Home Services Contractor"), to: (i) help Homeowners maintain and enhance the value of their homes, (ii) bring clarity, transparency, and choice to the housing lifecycle long before a traditional real estate sale listing, and (iii) enable informed decisions and trust-based relationships among Homeowners, Agents, Home Services Contractors and others involved in the home ownership journey.
We have implemented these Terms of Use to govern your use of the Windfal Website, the Windfal App, Windfal Portal and any related software, applications, webpages, and any information and content relating to the foregoing, including without limitation, HTML, software, code, data, text, documents, images, photographs, videos, icons, and designs (collectively, the "Windfal Content"), whether you are a Homeowner, Agent or Home Services Contractor (collectively, a "User").
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, BY ACCESSING OR USING THE WINDFAL WEBSITE, THE WINDFAL APP, THE WINDFAL PORTAL, THE WINDFAL SERVICES (AS DEFINED BELOW) OR THE WINDFAL CONTENT, YOU INDICATE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, then you have no right to access or use the Windfal Website, the Windfal App, the Windfal Portal, the Windfal Services or the Windfal Content. If these Terms of Use are being entered into by a corporation or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to enter into these Terms of Use to bind such entity and its affiliates to these Terms of Use as its authorized representative, in which case the terms "you" or "your" refer to such entity and its affiliates as well as you.
The Windfal Website, the Windfal App, the Windfal Portal and the Windfal Content are not intended for use by minors (being individuals who are not of legal age in the jurisdiction in which they reside). If you are a minor, you should only use the Windfal Website, the Windfal App, the Windfal Portal and the Windfal Content with the permission and under the supervision of a parent or guardian.
2. Windfal Services
Windfal provides the following through the Windfal Website, Windfal App and the Windfal Portal:
(collectively, the "Windfal Services").
3. User Roles
Homeowners may use the Windfal Website and the Windfal App to access an inspection-powered digital home record and condition adjusted valuation for their home, view their home's Windfal Score with prioritized repair recommendations and cost estimates, maintain a record of repairs and improvements, interact with a property-specific AI assistant, create a private, opt-in pre-market profile, and at their discretion connect with Agents for Agent-provided services, and Home Services Contractors for Home Services.
Agents use Windfal to engage with opt-in Homeowners for pre-market outreach, access Windfal assessment materials (including LiDAR/3D capture) on participating listings, and develop earlier, better-informed client relationships, while maintaining control of their own brokerage relationships and complying with applicable MLS and brokerage rules.
Home Services Contractors may use the Windfal Website and Windfal App to connect with Homeowners who require specific Home Services to facilitate the provision of Home Services pursuant to a Home Services Agreement (as defined below).
4. Display of Assessment Materials on Listings
Windfal may enable Agents, where authorized by the applicable Homeowner, brokerage, and MLS, to display Windfal assessment materials for their listings on the Windfal Website and the Windfal App. Where this feature is enabled and all required consents, licenses, and approvals are in place, a listing's Windfal Score report may be displayed together with associated assessment materials (including the assessment summary, LiDAR scans, 3D captures, and repair cost modeling).
5. Imaging, LiDAR/3D Capture
6. Home Services Agreement
The Windfal Website, the Windfal App and/or the Windfal Content allows Homeowners to request, search for, book and (if enabled by Windfal) pay for Home Services and for Home Services Contractors to connect with Homeowners for the purposes of providing Home Services. When coordinating the provision of Home Services using the Windfal Website, the Windfal App or the Windfal Content, the Homeowner must provide the scope, schedule and other details of the requested Home Services, including without limitation any specific concerns, and hazards, obstacles, or impediments that may impact the performance of the requested Home Services.
A Home Services Contractor may confirm their interest in providing Home Services requested by a Homeowner by way of delivery through the Windfal Website or the Windfal App of an official quote with the Home Services Contractor's contact information on it. If such quote is accepted by the Homeowner through the Windfal Website or the Windfal App, it will form a binding agreement between the parties in respect of such Home Services (the "Home Services Agreement"). The parties to the Home Services Agreement each agree to comply with the Home Services Agreement, these Terms of Use, and our applicable privacy policy during the engagement, performance and completion of the Home Services. Windfal is not a party to any Home Services Agreement and the formation of a Home Services Agreement will not, under any circumstances, create any responsibility or liability for Windfal.
Windfal does not provide, perform, supervise, direct, monitor or control any Home Services. Home Services Contractors are independent third parties who may be connected with Homeowners through Windfal to offer Home Services, using their own tools, equipment, materials and supplies. Home Services Contractors choose the applicable rates for the services they provide, and which services engagements facilitated through the Windfal Website or the Windfal App that they wish to accept or reject. Home Services Contractors are independent contractors of both Windfal and the Homeowner, and Homeowners who hire a Home Services Contractor via the Windfal Website or the Windfal App are clients of the Home Services Contractor, not of Windfal. Home Services Contractors are able to provide their services elsewhere, including through businesses that compete with Windfal.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Home Services Contractors may be subject to a review process by Windfal, in connection with their use of the Windfal Website or the Windfal App, at any time, which may include without limitation identity verification and criminal background checks. However, we do not assume any responsibility or liability for such review process, and any reference to a Home Services Contractor being "vetted" or "verified" (or similar language) indicates only that a Home Services Contractor has provided Windfal with certain information such as personal information to complete an account or profile, and does not, nor shall it be deemed to, represent anything else. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such a reference is not an endorsement or guarantee by Windfal of the Home Services Contractor's background, licensing, insurance, skills, abilities, competence, qualifications, or suitability for a specific task. Homeowners are solely responsible for determining if a Home Services Contractor has the skills and qualifications necessary to perform the specific requested Home Services and confirming that the Home Services Contractor has obtained all required licenses, permits, or registrations, if any, to perform the requested Home Services. Notwithstanding any feature of the Windfal Website, the Windfal App or the Windfal Content that a Homeowner may use to expedite Home Services Contractor selection, the Homeowner is solely responsible for determining the Home Services and selecting or otherwise approving the Home Services Contractor they engage to perform Home Services and should undertake their own research prior to booking any Home Services that the specific Home Services Contractor has the right qualifications.
Users acknowledge that Windfal does not perform or employ or otherwise engage any individuals to perform any Home Services and does not supervise, direct, monitor or control the Home Services provided by a Home Services Contractor as facilitated by the Windfal Website, the Windfal App or the Windfal Content, nor do we have any control over the quality, competence, qualifications, suitability, timing, legality, or other aspect of the Home Services Contractor's services, or the Home Services Contractor's failure to provide Home Services.
7. AI Outputs, Time Sensitivity, and No Duty to Update
8. Fees and Payment Terms
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING VALID CREDIT CARD AND/OR OTHER PAYMENT DETAILS AND FOR THE TIMELY INVOICING AND PAYMENT OF ALL FEES THAT YOU HAVE AGREED TO PAY THROUGH THE WINDFAL WEBSITE, THE WINDFAL APP OR THE WINDFAL PORTAL (AS APPLICABLE). Please note that the payment information, including name and contact information, that you submit when you register may be used and shared with our payment processing services provider and otherwise used in accordance with our privacy policy or policies.
Windfal shall not be responsible for any failure of any Homeowner to pay any fees for Home Services provided. Home Services Contractors shall only charge Homeowners for Home Services based on the terms of the agreed-upon Home Services Agreement.
Home Services Contractors are solely responsible for charging, reporting and remitting any GST, HST, PST or any other sales or value-added taxes associated with their provision of Home Services.
We may contact you via email regarding your account, for example, in connection with a problem with your credit card or payment account.
Unless we agree or state otherwise in writing, all fees and charges are nonrefundable.
