Terms of Use

Welcome to GAIP (Got AI Policy), a public registry of AI governance policies across Canadian municipalities and organizations, maintained by CivicPlay.ai (“we”, “us”). By accessing or using gaip.lovable.app (the “Site”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. The service

GAIP provides a free, publicly accessible directory that tracks AI policy status across Canadian municipalities and organizations, with links to publicly available evidence. Optional free accounts unlock additional features such as a personal dashboard, profile settings, shortlists, saved filters, public filter sharing, referral links, and limited CSV export.

2. Accounts and profile

You must provide accurate information when creating an account, keep your password confidential, and notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. You are responsible for activity under your account. Profile fields (name, organization, role, bio) are optional and visible only to you in your settings. Changing your email or password requires re-entering your current password. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or are used to abuse the Site.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Scrape, crawl, or otherwise access the Site or its data in ways that bypass posted limits (including export quotas) or place an unreasonable load on our infrastructure.
• Misrepresent yourself, attempt to access other users' accounts, or interfere with the Site's security or operation.
• Use the Site or its data to harass, defame, or harm any organization or individual.
• Abuse the referral system through fake accounts, automated signups, or other fraudulent activity.
• Use the Site in violation of applicable Canadian or local law.

4. Free account features and quotas

Account features are provided free of charge and are subject to quotas that we may change to keep the service sustainable. As of the date of these Terms, CSV export is limited to a maximum of 10 rows per export and 3 exports per calendar month per account. Other features (shortlists, saved filters, filter sharing, referral links) are currently unmetered but may become subject to limits in the future. We may adjust, pause, or remove features at any time.

5. Sharing saved filters

You may publish any saved filter via a unique share link. By doing so, you acknowledge that anyone with the link can view the filter's name and saved criteria, open it in the directory, and copy it to their own account. Do not include confidential information in filter names. You can revoke sharing at any time, which invalidates the existing link.

6. Referrals

Each account is assigned a unique referral link. You may share this link with friends and coworkers. We track which accounts sign up via your link to display a referral count to you. Referrals do not currently confer monetary rewards. We may invalidate referrals or referral counts that result from fake accounts, self-referrals, or other abuse.

7. Registry content and accuracy

GAIP aggregates information from public sources and submissions, and our team reviews evidence links before publishing. Despite our care, the registry may contain errors, omissions, or out-of-date information. The Site is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, policy, or professional advice. Always verify details with the relevant organization before relying on them.

If you believe a record is inaccurate, please submit a correction or proof of policy using the link in the footer.

8. Submissions

When you submit a link, evidence, or correction, you confirm that you have the right to share it and grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to review, publish, and display the submission on the Site as part of the public registry. Do not submit confidential information you are not authorized to share.

9. Intellectual property

The Site's name, branding, design, and original written content are owned by CivicPlay.ai. The underlying registry data is compiled from public sources. You may view, search, and reference the registry, including making limited CSV exports through the in-product feature, provided you respect attribution and the quotas described above. You may not republish substantial portions of the dataset without our written permission.

10. Third-party links

The registry contains links to third-party websites (such as municipal pages or policy documents). We are not responsible for the content, availability, accuracy, or privacy practices of those sites.

11. Disclaimers

The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, CivicPlay.ai and its contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, revenue, or goodwill arising out of or related to your use of the Site.

13. Changes to the Site or these Terms

We may update the Site, its features, or these Terms at any time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
