These Terms govern use of the Gao Invest Canada website and related educational request services. Please read them carefully before using the site.

Last Updated: March 19, 2026

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you and Gao Invest Canada Inc. (“Gao Invest Canada,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of our website and any related online services we provide through it (collectively, the “Site”).

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Site. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Site only with the involvement and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms.

2. Educational Purpose and Important Disclaimers

Gao Invest Canada provides educational and informational programs related to financial literacy, business fundamentals, strategic planning, analytical thinking, and professional development. The Site and all content are provided for education and general information only.

  • No financial advice: We do not provide financial advice, investment recommendations, portfolio management, or individualized guidance about securities, derivatives, cryptoassets, or other financial products.
  • No guarantee of outcomes: Participation in any program does not guarantee financial, business, employment, or personal results. Learning outcomes depend on many factors, including prior knowledge and practice.
  • No professional-client relationship: Using the Site does not create an advisor-client, fiduciary, or any other professional relationship beyond the provision of educational services.

If you require personal financial advice, you should consult a licensed professional who can assess your circumstances. Any examples used in our materials are for illustration and learning purposes and may rely on simplified assumptions.

3. Description of the Site and Our Services

The Site provides information about our educational programs, learning resources, and a way to request information or enrollment details. Program availability, cohorts, formats, and schedules may change over time. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time, with or without notice, to maintain quality, security, or operational needs.

The Site is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not promise that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components. We work to maintain reliable access, but outages and maintenance windows can occur.

4. Contact and Request Submissions

When you submit a request through the Site (for example, to receive a program outline or enrollment details), you agree to provide accurate, current information. You also agree not to submit sensitive personal data (for example, financial account numbers, government-issued IDs, or similarly sensitive identifiers) in free-text fields.

We may use reasonable measures to prevent spam and misuse, including rate limiting, validation checks, and filtering. Requests may not be delivered if a submission triggers security protections or appears to be automated.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Site lawfully and responsibly. You must not, directly or indirectly:

  • Use the Site for any unlawful, fraudulent, or misleading purpose.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, related systems, or data.
  • Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site or bypass security or authentication measures.
  • Send malware, phishing content, or other harmful code or conduct any activity that could disable, overburden, or impair the Site.
  • Scrape, crawl, or harvest information from the Site using automated means without our written permission.
  • Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.
  • Submit spam, bulk requests, or repeated messages that interfere with our ability to respond to legitimate inquiries.

We may suspend or restrict access to the Site if we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated or if needed to protect users, the Site, or our operations.

6. Intellectual Property

The Site and its content, including text, graphics, course descriptions, learning materials, design elements, logos, and software, are owned by or licensed to Gao Invest Canada Inc. and are protected by Canadian and international intellectual property laws.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site for your personal or internal organizational purposes, solely as permitted by these Terms. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, create derivative works from, publicly display, or exploit any content from the Site without our prior written permission, except where such use is permitted by applicable law.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

The Site may reference or display content that originates from third parties (for example, embedded maps or external informational resources). Third-party sites and services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, availability, or practices.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Gao Invest Canada Inc. disclaims all warranties, express or implied, regarding the Site and its content, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and availability.

We do not warrant that the Site will meet your requirements, that the Site will be secure, or that errors will be corrected. Educational materials may evolve, and examples may be simplified; we do not warrant completeness for any specific use case.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Gao Invest Canada Inc., its directors, officers, employees, contractors, or representatives be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, or reputational harm, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Site or any content on it, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total direct liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) 100 Canadian dollars (CAD).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If those laws apply to you, some of the above limitations may not apply.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Gao Invest Canada Inc. and its directors, officers, employees, and representatives from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or related to: (a) your misuse of the Site; (b) your violation of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

11. Force Majeure

We are not liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, fire, flood, war, terrorism, labour disputes, public health emergencies, internet or hosting outages, or cyberattacks affecting third-party infrastructure.

12. International Use

The Site is operated from Canada and is intended for participants and organizations across Canada. Access from other locations is not prohibited, but you are responsible for complying with local laws to the extent they apply. We make no representation that the Site or its content is appropriate or legally available in all jurisdictions.

13. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Ontario, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

You agree that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be brought exclusively in the courts located in Toronto, Ontario, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

If you are entitled to mandatory consumer protections under the laws of your province or territory of residence, those protections may apply despite the above venue clause to the extent required by law.

14. Dispute Resolution (Informal First)

Before starting a formal legal process, you agree to contact us and provide a short description of the issue and the relief requested. We will attempt to resolve disputes in good faith within thirty (30) days. This informal step does not limit either party’s rights where urgent injunctive relief is needed.

15. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Site at any time if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or if needed for security, maintenance, or operational reasons. Sections related to intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law will survive termination.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any notices posted on the Site, constitute the entire agreement between you and Gao Invest Canada regarding the Site and supersede any prior or contemporaneous communications.

18. Assignment

We may assign or transfer these Terms (in whole or in part) in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of assets. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.

19. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce that provision or any other provision later.

20. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms will be posted on this page and will become effective fourteen (14) days after posting, unless a shorter period is required to address security or legal compliance needs. Your continued use of the Site after the effective date indicates acceptance of the updated Terms.

21. Electronic Communications

By using the Site and submitting requests, you consent to receive communications from us electronically (for example, by email). You agree that electronic communications satisfy legal requirements that such communications be in writing.
