Canadian Mortgage App

Terms & Privacy Policy

Powered by Bendigi Technologies Inc.

Welcome to CMA!

Here is a quick human-readable introduction to our T&C. This introduction does not replace the full Terms & conditions and privacy policy of the Canadian Mortgage App, so please make sure to read and agree to the full version before using our services.

  • First things first, we do not sell your personal information to anyone. Ever! There is a reason we have earned over 17,000+ positive reviews on the app store, and we pride ourselves on being an ethically responsible company.
  • By “we,” we mean Bendigi Technologies Inc. We are a mobile technology company that has been developing and operating Canada’s #1 mortgage app right here in Toronto since 2013.
  • Like every other technology platform, we gather data and analytics but only to improve the app and our services. We store everything securely and invest heavily in our security infrastructure.
  • Your data is your data; we don’t own it. Frankly, we can’t even look at it, it’s all encrypted in our database, but we hope to use it anonymously to make our app better for you and nothing more.
  • We do not spam people; we hate spammers too. We will push or email you educational content, tips, and the occasional promotion to help you save money. Also, we only send emails to specific users who have opted in. If you are affiliated with one of our PRO clients, we won’t send you any emails at all other than system-generated email confirmation or password resets.
  • If you don’t like our content, please help us improve it; tell us how we can be better and how to make you happier.
  • We do not sell you a mortgage. We offer unbiased tech to help you learn, estimate and be more financially savvy when researching for a mortgage. At the end of the day, you must speak to your licensed Mortgage Broker or Realtor for guidance.
  • We encourage you to always consult with a licensed professional when making financial decisions and never just rely on an app, any app. After all, you are making the biggest investment of your life, and there are people with far more experience than us.
  • On selected versions of our app, we enable you to request to connect to one of our licensed and trusted professionals who we have cherry-picked, interviewed and verified before we expose their services to you. We also continue to track their performance to ensure you’ll receive the best service possible. Think Uber for mortgages.
  • We fund our operation by charging professionals a marketing fee every time you decide to connect with them, or if they purchase a branded version of our app (the PRO), or our awesome web calculators, we charge them a monthly subscription fee.
  • Although we put an insane amount of effort, time and money into ensuring that all the calculations are accurate and everything is up to date, we accept no liability whatsoever for any of our services causing anyone issues.
  • You also promise not to hold us liable for anything that may have gone wrong while using our services.
  • We trust that you will not post anything questionable, or we’ll be forced to terminate your account. Keep our services nice and clean, and everyone is happy. Please!
  • Our lawyer tells us that we need to reserve the right to modify our terms anytime without prior notice at our sole discretion, so we listen and reserve the right to do so.

Our right to any User Content is the limited licenses to it granted under these Terms. Those licenses are described in Section “Limited License of Your User Content to Bendigi” and Section “Inactive Agents; Termination of Agreement” of these Terms. Other than the User Content and the Mortgage Application; all of the Services, Content and software available on the Services or used to create and operate the Services are the property of Bendigi or its licensors and is protected by Canadian and international copyright laws, and all rights to the Services, such Content and such software are expressly reserved.

Limited License of Your User Content to Bendigi.

Therefore, by posting or distributing User Content to or through the Services, you: (a) grant Bendigi and its affiliates and subsidiaries a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable right to use, display, perform, reproduce, distribute, publish, modify, adapt, translate, and create derivative works from such User Content, in the manner in and for the purposes for which the Services from time to time use such User Content; (b) represent and warrant that: (i) you own and control all of the rights to the User Content that you submit or otherwise distribute, or you otherwise have the lawful right to submit and distribute that User Content, to or through the Services; and (ii) the use and transmission of such User Content does not violate these Terms and will not violate any rights of or cause injury to any person or entity. These licenses from you are non-exclusive because you have the right to use your User Content elsewhere. They are royalty-free because we are not required to pay you for the use of your User Content on the Services, and they are transferable because we need the right to transfer these licenses to any successor operator of the Services. Our rights to “modify, adapt, translate, and create derivative works from” are necessary because the normal operation of the Services does this to your User Content when it processes it for use in the Services. For example, we may modify your submitted images by cropping and resizing it in various dimensions to optimize its display on the mobile device.

Bendigi grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable license to access the Services and to view, copy and print the portions of the Content available to you through the Services.

The license in this Section is revocable by Bendigi at any time. You represent and warrant that your use of the Services and the Content will be consistent with this license and will not infringe or violate the rights of any other party or breach any contract or legal duty to any other parties, or violate any applicable law.

User Submissions.

Subject to the Privacy Policy below, if you send to Bendigi or post on the Site in any public area any information, ideas, inventions, concepts, techniques or know-how (“User Submissions ”), for any purpose, including the developing, manufacturing and/or marketing or products or services incorporating such information, you acknowledge that Bendigi can use the User Submissions without acknowledgement or compensation to you, and you hereby waive any claim of ownership or compensation or other rights you may have in relation to the User Submissions. We actively review User Submissions for new ideas. If you wish to preserve any interest you might have in your User Submissions, you should not post them to the Site or send them to us.

CMA PRO and Web Tools

Bendigi sells agents the ability to brand a version of the App (the “App “), the embeddable website calculators (“Web Tools”) and also the electronic advertisement (“Advertisement ”) on the non-branded version of the App for a monthly or annual fee.

You acknowledge and agree that each account or subscription is limited to individual agents ONLY and is not licensed for teams, entire brokerages or companies unless written approval has been granted by Ben Salami. If you plan to use a single PRO account for a team, brokerage or company you must notify ben@bendigi.com of your intent and request a custom license . This also means that if we detect that you have branded the app or the web tools as a company (by removing your profile picture and replacing it with your company logo, changing the public email address to a generic shared address like info@domain, support@domain, contact@domain, and/or have your agents registered as users), we will ask you nicely to obtain a license for all your agents. We will review each case separately.

You acknowledge and agree that both the app, the web tools and Advertisement remain the property of Bendigi for the entire term and you also agree not to promote anything illegal, unethical, or potentially offensive through Bendigi via the use of the links, ads, Local Experts, emails, or any other way. By clicking the Sign-Up or Create button which also creates a free profile, you agree to subscribe to our Mailing list hosted on Mail Chimp. We will not sell your email to a third party or abuse the awesome privilege to deliver occasional promotional emails to your inbox.

You also agree not to directly or indirectly circumvent, alter, modify, tamper with or defeat the intent, purpose and/or functionality of the mobile app and website calculators. You understand that violation of these Terms can be cause for immediate termination of your account. Bendigi has the absolute discretion to terminate and refuse to publish or continue to offer it’s services and we may do this at any time and for any reason without prior notice. 

Bendigi cannot guarantee that the information provided by the Agent on their Branded App or the Local Expert information is correct on all versions of its Apps and Web Tools. As a precautionary measure, the Branding Service or the Local Expert section may be disabled on all versions prior to the current version of the App in order to better control the accuracy of the displayed information.

Bendigi holds all the rights to adjust the fees and promotional offers from time to time. The promotional and regular monthly or lump sum fee may be increased or decreased by Bendigi, in accordance with its standard practices. You shall be offered options to continue with the increased fees via either upgrade, new subscriptions or discontinue upon request. Only those agents that have signed a separate agreement with Bendigi in relation to the receipt of a Mortgage Application from a Customer may receive a Mortgage Application.

Any user who signs up as an Agent and who has created an account on our member site shall be deemed to have opted in to receive emails every now and then to help them to get the most out of the App. From time to time our support staff may contact or send out a casual email to Agents who may not have verified their email after signup or appear to have had issues with the Site. Subscription Renewal. Any user who signs up as an Agent and who has created an account on our member site shall be deemed to have opted-in to an automatic renewal of their monthly or annual lump sum membership fees. Bendigi’s payment system automatically charges the default credit/debit card associated with your account for the original subscription fee plus applicable taxes.

You may cancel the automatic renewal at any time up to 24 hours before the renewal date by contacting our customer care at customercare@bendigi.com. You may also contact our support team using either the web support chat or the in-app support from the “Settings” tab. 

Bendigi does not charge a cancellation fee as part of the effort in removing services, profiles, content, or advertisement from active servers, app or websites. Unfortunately, Bendigi will not be able to refund the account for any unused term past 30 days of the point of cancellation , however in a situation where the cancellation occurs within 30 days of the renewal date., Bendigi may be able to refund the full amount and cancel the service at no extra charge. Bendigi uses third party accounting software, which may not be able to notify you prior to an upcoming renewal. If the payment for your membership cannot be transacted on the renewal date, for any reason, Bendigi’s accounting software  will periodically attempt to process your automatic renewal. 

Automatic Recurring Payments - Subscriptions

CMA PRO on iTunes & Google Play starts at $23.99 CAD/month for Realtor estate professionals and $249.99 for Mortgage Professionals. Payment will be charged to your iTunes account or you’r credit card if you have subscribed to an annual plan. Of course, you can cancel anytime, for any reason by visiting your iTunes store account in settings or contacting us via our support channels.  Your subscription automatically renews monthly or annually unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period.

You also warrant that you hold all permits or licenses which may be necessary, including any license to practice issued by any professional or other regulatory body exercising its jurisdiction over your activities.

The defined terms in this Privacy Policy have the meanings set out in the Terms. How Bendigi Collects, Uses and Shares Personal Information You acknowledge and agree that, in the course of your use of the Services, Bendigi will collect, process, and store information about you and your use of the Services. This information will consist of your User Content, including information in your Mortgage Application and other personal data, which may include your Personal Information.

“Personal Information” consists of any information that can be used to identify you and may include your name, email address, postal code or other physical address, gender, marital status, occupation, and, as applicable, other information required to make the Services available to you or to process an online inquiry, interaction or transaction that you have requested or initiated.

All your User Content, including Personal Information, will be processed, stored and handled by Bendigi in accordance with industry-standard commercial data storage processes and procedures, applicable Canadian laws and this Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that your Personal Information may be transmitted outside of Canada and provided to third parties for the purposes of providing the Services to you. 

Bendigi will not sell, rent, share or trade any of your Personal Information to any third parties for any purpose, including for direct or indirect sales or marketing purposes, except as described in this Privacy Policy. Unless otherwise agreed to by you, Bendigi will use your Personal Information solely to make the Services available to you. Subject to the foregoing and conditioned on Bendigi’s compliance with the Terms and this Privacy Policy, you consent to Bendigi: (i) sharing your Personal and Financial Information with an Agent or third party Mortgage Broker(s) (collectively “Agent ”) for the purpose of evaluating your Mortgage Application; (iii) sharing the information you have entered with an “Agent” whose personalized mobile app you have installed, and (iv) to the extent that the third party mortgage broker requires any additional consents from you, you will provide those consents directly to the third party mortgage broker at your discretion (“your Consent ”). Solely with your express prior consent that you will provide through your acceptance of this Privacy Policy, we will collect any Personal Information that you input or update through your access and use of the Services. (v) if you are an agent and have received a pre-paid branded app from your brokerage or network, upon request, we may disclose certain statistics about your usage such as the number of downloads you’ve received, reports, scenarios created, and no personal identifiable details of your clients. 

Your Personal Information is shared between your Agent, and Bendigi for the purposes of processing and evaluating your Mortgage Application or a Real estate Transaction.

Bendigi has no control over and is not responsible for, the privacy of your User Content that you have shared with others so always use caution when giving out any personally identifiable or sensitive information.

Marketing Communications.

Bendigi respects your privacy and is compliant with the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (“CASL”). For marketing emails, we collect your expressed consent (opt-in) before emailing you about our products, services, promotions and events. By consenting to receive email marketing communications, you are subscribed to our MailChimp email list and your account is tagged according to your preferences selected on the app. Of course, you may unsubscribe (opt-out) anytime from receiving such marketing communications by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the emails messages sent to you. After unsubscribing from our email marketing list hosted on MailChimp, you will receive an unsubscribe confirmation email. We may still email you account-based information relating to your account. These account-based email notifications include and are not limited to security notifications, username changes/password resets or status to your mortgage application.

How Bendigi Uses Anonymous and De-identified Information.

You further acknowledge and agree that Bendigi will: (i) use your User Content, solely on an anonymous and de-identified basis and aggregated with other Users’ information, for the compilation and analysis of trends, statistics and other information without any link or identifiable reference to you or your User Content; and (ii) share its analyses with its business partners and third party advertisers and customers (collectively, “Bendigi Content Usage ”). For the avoidance of any doubt, your User Content will never be distributed to or shared with anyone other than a Broker in a format that could identify you. If you would like to withdraw your Consent to Bendigi Content Usage, please contact us at the address below in “Contacting Bendigi Regarding our Privacy Policy and Practices.” Bendigi will process your withdrawal letter within a commercially reasonable period of time following Bendigi’s receipt thereof; thereafter, going forward, any and all of your User Content that is submitted or input into the App will not be subject to Bendigi Content Usage. For clarity, any Content Usage obtained by Bendigi prior to your withdrawal shall remain subject to the Bendigi Content Usage. At your option, you may continue to use the App, subject to and in accordance with all other terms herein.

How Bendigi Protects Your Information.

Bendigi takes commercially reasonable steps to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure or loss. The Site and the App have reasonable security measures (including online and off-line physical, electronic and managerial safeguards) in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the Personal Information under Bendigi’s control. In certain areas, Personal Information is maintained on a secured database accessible only by Bendigi personnel. Bendigi uses industry-standard encryption technologies to protect Personal Information submitted by you through the Site and the App. However, as with any transmission over the Internet, there is always some element of risk in submitting Personal Information online and Bendigi will not be liable for any breach of data security caused by circumstances outside its control, including unauthorized network intrusions.

Children and Minors.

Children under the age of 13 cannot register as Users or otherwise use the App. Bendigi does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of majority in the province or territory of their residence. If Bendigi learns that it has collected Personal Information of a child under the age of majority in their province or territory of residence, Bendigi will delete that Personal Information from the Platform. Bendigi encourages parents and guardians to go online with their children.

Cookies; Do Not Track.

You agree that Bendigi may collect and use technical data and related information, including but not limited to technical information about your device, system and application software, and peripherals, that is gathered periodically to facilitate the provision of software updates, product support and other services to you (if any) related to the App. Bendigi may use this information, as long as it is in a form that does not personally identify you, to improve its products or to provide services or technologies to you. We use analytical tools that use first-party cookies to track visitor interactions. These cookies are used to store information, such as the time that the current visit occurred, whether the visitor has been to the site before and what site referred the visitor to the web page or App. Apps do not share first-party cookies across domains. Every computer and device connected to the Internet is assigned a unique number known as an Internet protocol (IP) address. Since these numbers are usually assigned in country-based blocks, an IP address can often be used to identify the country, region and city from which a computer is connecting to the Internet. The analytical tools collect the IP address of website or App visitors in order to provide Bendigi with a sense of where in the world their visitors come from. This method is known as IP geolocation.

Some Web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signal, which is an HTTP header field indicating the User’s preference regarding tracking or cross-site user tracking. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret DNT signals, Bendigi does not currently respond to DNT signals, if any, that Bendigi may receive from any browsers. Bendigi takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology.
