Clear expectations

Service terms

Draft revision October 26, 2026 — owner and legal review required

These terms explain Cheq Yourself’s research and documentation support and the Assert Crown Grant Documentation Package, also presented as the Land Protection File or Crown Grant Assertion File. New restrictive cancellation terms are proposed for future Crown Grant purchases only. Earlier purchases keep the terms agreed to at the time.

1. Information and documentation support

Cheq Yourself helps individuals locate and organize records, build chronologies, prepare a record chronology, open-question matrix and research summary / source map. Website content is general information. It is not property-specific legal advice.

Cheq Yourself is not a law firm and does not provide legal representation, court or tribunal advocacy, surveying, title-insurance advice, mortgage advice, investment advice or tax advice. Nothing on this website creates a lawyer–client relationship.

2. No guaranteed interpretation or outcome

Records must be considered in context. A Crown Grant, chronology, notice or documentation package does not automatically establish a legal right, remove the application of legislation or regulation, or bind an institution. No particular interpretation, exemption, acceptance or outcome is guaranteed.

Letters are clarification requests, not title cures. Cheq Yourself does not resolve Aboriginal title or issue or guarantee an Indigenous land patent.

3. Urgent matters

If you face a dispute, enforcement notice, transaction, limitation period or filing deadline, promptly consult an appropriately qualified professional. Do not delay necessary advice while waiting for a webinar, reply or research package. The public inquiry process is not an emergency channel.

4. Inquiries and service scope

Keep an initial inquiry brief and non-confidential. Do not upload or send sensitive records through the public homepage. Submitting an inquiry or making a booking does not, by itself, confirm acceptance of an engagement, its scope or a completion date.

Any engagement should identify the work to be done, client responsibilities, available records, deliverables, exclusions, price and payment terms. Deliverables depend on the agreed scope, records available and package selected. Record availability and completeness cannot be guaranteed.

5. Package and payment

The Assert Crown Grant Documentation Package is offered at $1,799 CAD per property, reduced from a reference price of $2,499 CAD. It is one payment for the six work areas described on the Crown Grant page, subject to available records and the written scope. There is no stated deadline for this offer. A fit call is optional; an inquiry or booking is not a commitment to buy.

Payment is processed through Stripe. Review applicable taxes and the final total before authorizing payment.

Included documents and additional costs

Chain of Title includes five Certificates of Title, one Survey and one Crown Grant.

Clients request and pay for copies of any additional Certificates of Title and Survey documents directly from the Land Registry. These additional copies are outside the included document allowance.

Preparation and notice process

For the proposed Crown Grant offer, preparation is estimated at 30–90 days depending on the first-come, first-served queue and completion of the initial registered-mail self-mailing and evidence. The later 60-day public-notice period and 21-day interval between private registered mailings are additional client steps. The second private mailing starts 21 days after the first notice is mailed, not received. These are this documentation process's periods, not statutory deadlines or acceptance by silence.

Earlier purchase terms

Existing orders retain the terms agreed to at purchase. The previous published policy offered cancellation and a refund within 14 days of purchase; those terms are not retroactively replaced by the draft below.

Proposed Crown Grant pre-work cancellation policy

Draft for owner and legal review. Not approved for publication or activation. Policy version: crown-grant-pre-work-2026-10-11. Applies prospectively only after approval and activation; each new order saves its agreed version.

14-day pre-work cancellation window. Eligible refunds are reduced by payment-processing fees. The option ends when work begins, including ordering title or survey records, or you submit your starting Certificate of Title, survey and property address for work to begin. Non-excludable rights remain unaffected.

You may cancel within 14 days of purchase only before work begins. Eligible refunds are the amount paid less payment-processing fees. Work begins when records are ordered or research begins, or when you submit the starting Certificate of Title, survey and property address for work to begin. Merely choosing or saving draft uploads, opening a contact form, saving contact information or requesting a fit call does not start work.

Work authorization is separate from contact consent, optional marketing permission and payment. Before final submission of starting records, you review the policy and explicitly authorize commencement. That event and actual commencement, including ordering title/survey records, are recorded separately from the purchase date. Uploading does not start a new 14-day cancellation clock.

To request cancellation, use the contact form and the email associated with your purchase. Do not send card details or private title records through that form. Nothing limits rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.

6. Your records and use of the website

Provide accurate information and only records you are entitled to share. Keep original records and check the accuracy of any information supplied. Do not use this website to submit unlawful material, disclose another person’s confidential information without authority, or interfere with its operation.

Images of dossiers, folders and survey records on this site are illustrative. They are not representations of a completed client matter or a guaranteed deliverable.

Public archival examples are credited to their source and identified as examples. They are not client files or findings about your property.

7. Website content and copyright concerns

Cheq Yourself reserves any rights it holds in its original website text, videos and artwork. Third-party materials, trademarks and archival records remain subject to their applicable rights and licences. We do not claim exclusive ownership of public-domain records or facts.

You may view the website and share links to its public pages. Reproduction, publication or redistribution of protected material requires the right holder's permission unless an applicable licence or copyright law permits the use, including applicable fair-dealing or public-domain uses. These website-content terms do not change rights granted in a written service agreement or rights provided by law.

Submitting records does not transfer ownership of them to Cheq Yourself. Provide only material you are entitled to share for the requested service. Handling of personal information is described in the Privacy notice.

Report a copyright concern

Use the inquiry form to identify the page or material, the work you believe is affected, your basis for acting for the right holder and a way to contact you. Start with a brief non-confidential description; do not attach private property or identity documents. We review concerns and may restrict disputed material while examining them. This contact route does not limit any remedy available under applicable law.

8. External services and availability

Links to the land website, booking provider and payment provider lead to separate processes. Review their applicable terms and privacy information. Website information may change, and availability can be affected by maintenance or technical issues.

Using an external service does not exclude our responsibilities for personal information under our control or remove mandatory privacy or consumer rights. See the Privacy notice for provider and cross-border processing information.

9. Legal Disclaimer

Legal Disclaimer: ​In no event will we be liable for any loss or damage including without limitation, indirect or consequential loss or damage, or any loss or damage whatsoever arising from loss of data or profits arising out of, or in connection with, the use of this website or our services.

10. Applicable rights and contact
