Terms of Service and Sale

Last updated: 5 October 2026

These Terms govern your use of the Nivaar website and services at nivaar.net (the "Services"), and every purchase you make through them. The Services are operated by Nivaar Tech Tools, a business name registered in Ontario, Canada by its owner, a sole proprietor ("Nivaar", "we", "us"). Our email is support@nivaar.net. Our mailing address and telephone number are shown at checkout before you pay and on your purchase receipt, and we will give them to anyone who asks by email. By creating an account, using the Services, or buying access, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy and our Refund Policy, which are part of these Terms.

1. Who can use the Services

• You must be at least 18 years old.
• The Services are offered to residents of Canada other than Quebec. We do not open accounts for, or sell the Nivaar Pass to, residents of Quebec at this time. Sign-up and checkout ask for your province or territory and refuse Quebec, and a payment with a Quebec billing address is cancelled before you are charged. If you live in Quebec and a purchase still goes through, tell us and we will refund it.
• You must give accurate account information and be entitled to use the email address you register.

2. Accounts

Reading the public worked solutions needs no account. Some features need a free account, and the Nivaar Pass is bought through one. You are responsible for keeping your password secure and for activity under your account. One account is for one person; sharing an account or the material it unlocks is not permitted (see Section 5). You can delete your account at any time from your account page.

3. What we provide, described honestly

The worked solutions are free to everyone, with or without an account. The subject study guides come with the Nivaar Pass (Section 3A), or with access we granted you before the Pass existed. Only some subjects have a study guide, and each subject page shows whether it does. The free guide articles at nivaar.net/guides/ are not subject study guides and need no Pass. Everything we publish, free or paid for, is made the same way:

• The solutions and study guides were written by an AI system, working from the published past papers, the syllabus and standard reference texts.
• Checking: automated structural and numerical checks on every solution; a second AI review pass, which most published solutions (not all) have passed; spot checks by the operator, who is an engineering graduate and not a licensed professional engineer. New solutions with a detected reader-visible defect are not published, and some published solutions still have open findings from these checks.
• Not done: no solution has been reviewed or verified by a licensed engineer or an examiner, and none is certified correct.
• Errors are expected. Methods may be wrong, numbers may be wrong, and past syllabi may differ from the current one. Verify against your textbooks and the current syllabus before relying on anything.
• The examination questions are not included. They are © Engineers and Geoscientists BC and are not reproduced on the Services. Each sitting links to EGBC's official past-papers page, where the papers are published for candidates. Availability of those papers is EGBC's decision, not ours.
• The Services are a study aid. They are not engineering advice, not professional advice of any kind, and not a substitute for the syllabus, the recommended texts, or a course.

Full detail is on How we make the solutions. For the Nivaar Pass, this Section and Section 3A are the description of the service you are buying: the legal warranty that a service is of reasonably acceptable quality is measured against them.

3A. The Nivaar Pass

• What it is: for a fixed period, ad-free reading on nivaar.net and the subject study guides we publish. Only some subjects have a study guide; each subject page shows whether it does, so check the subjects you need before you buy. Study guides we publish during your Pass are included. Ads are hidden in any browser where you have signed in to your account during the Pass.
• What it is not: it does not buy the worked solutions. They are free to everyone and stay free whether or not you have a Pass. It is not a subscription.
• Length and price: $39 CAD for 150 days, or $69 CAD for 12 months, starting when you pay. Buying again adds the new period to the end of your current Pass.
• No renewal: you pay once. The Pass simply ends; we never charge you again.

4. Independence from regulators

Nivaar is not affiliated with, endorsed by, licensed by, or approved by Engineers and Geoscientists BC, Engineers Canada, Professional Engineers Ontario, APEGA or any other engineering or geoscience regulator, and has no access to examiners, marking schemes or model answers. Regulator names are used only to describe which examinations the material relates to. "Official" means EGBC's own publications, never ours.

5. Your licence and acceptable use

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to view the material on the Services (the free material, and any study guides your Pass or account gives you) for your own study. Pages you open while signed in are marked with your email address. You agree not to:

• copy, download in bulk, share, publish, redistribute, sell or sublicense the material, or give anyone else access to your account;
• scrape, crawl or automate access to the Services, or use the material to train a machine-learning model;
• remove or obscure the licensing mark, notices or attributions;
• attempt to breach, probe or disrupt the security or operation of the Services; or
• misrepresent your identity or your affiliation with anyone.

We may suspend or end access for a breach of this Section. A serious breach (for example, redistributing the material) is not refundable.

6. Prices, taxes and payment

• Prices are in Canadian dollars and are shown before you pay. The price shown includes every mandatory fee. Sales taxes (GST/HST or provincial sales tax) are added at checkout only where we are registered to collect them and are shown before you confirm.
• Payment is taken once, by card through Stripe: your card is authorised when you confirm, and charged moments later, once we have checked that the billing address is not in Quebec (Section 1). Nivaar does not see or store your card number. There are no subscriptions or automatic renewals.
• Before you confirm a purchase you are shown the Pass length, the total price, this description of what you are buying, and the refund policy, and you are given the chance to correct any mistake or to cancel. Your receipt email is your copy of the agreement; we send it within 15 days, normally within minutes. Keep it.
• Access is delivered immediately after payment. If it is not, tell us and we will fix it or refund you.

7. Refunds and cancellation

Our Refund Policy gives you a full refund, for any reason, if you ask within 7 days of purchase (one refund per customer per Pass length). After that, purchases are final. Nothing in these Terms limits any right you have under consumer protection law, including the right in Ontario (Consumer Protection Act, 2002) and British Columbia (Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act) to cancel an internet or distance sales contract where required information or a copy of the agreement was not provided, and to receive your refund within 15 days. Where these Terms and such a law conflict, the law wins.

8. No guarantee of results

We do not promise that using the Services will improve your marks, or that you will pass any examination, obtain any licence, or achieve any other result. Examinations are set and marked by the regulators, not by us.

9. Our responsibility to you, and its limits

We will provide the Services with reasonable care and as described in Sections 3 and 3A. Consumer protection law provides that services supplied to a consumer are of reasonably acceptable quality, and nothing in these Terms excludes that or any other right that the law says cannot be excluded.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent the law allows:

• the Services and all material are provided "as is" and "as available", and we give no other warranty, express or implied, including as to accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability;
• we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, including lost income, examination fees, lost opportunities or costs of re-sitting an examination, however caused;
• our total liability to you for all claims arising from the Services or these Terms is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose (nothing, if you have paid us nothing).

These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for our fraud or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.

10. Intellectual property

• The examination papers and questions belong to Engineers and Geoscientists BC. We claim no rights in them and reproduce none of them.
• The worked solutions, study guides, guide articles, site design and branding are provided by Nivaar under the licence in Section 5. To the extent they are protected by copyright, Nivaar holds or controls those rights. Their AI-drafted nature is disclosed in Section 3.
• If you send us an error report, correction or suggestion, you allow us to use it without restriction or payment, and we will not name you without your consent.
• If you believe material on the Services infringes your rights, email support@nivaar.net with the details and we will respond promptly.

11. Error reports and corrections

Please report suspected errors to support@nivaar.net. We check every report. Confirmed errors are corrected and the corrected material replaces the earlier version for everyone. We may change, correct, add to or remove material at any time; a correction is not a defect, and the material available may change over time.

12. Availability and changes to the Services

We work to keep the Services available but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation. Expect occasional downtime for maintenance, updates and repairs, usually short and, where we can, announced in advance. A Pass is not extended or refunded for time the Services were unavailable. We may modify, suspend or discontinue features or the Services, with reasonable notice where practicable. Your rights under consumer protection law (Section 7) still apply.

13. Termination and account deletion

You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time from your account page; deleting your account ends your Nivaar Pass and any access we granted you, with no refund for time left. If you are still within the 7-day refund window, ask for the refund before you delete. We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these Terms. On deletion, your data is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

14. Disputes

If you have a problem, email us first: most things are resolved in a reply or two. These Terms do not require you to arbitrate, do not stop you joining a class proceeding, and do not restrict you from reviewing or commenting on the Services. You may bring a claim in the courts of Ontario, or, where consumer protection law gives you the right, in the courts or tribunals of your own province (for example, the Ontario Small Claims Court or the British Columbia Civil Resolution Tribunal). You may also complain to your provincial consumer protection office or, about privacy, to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, except that the consumer protection law of the province where you live applies to you where it says it must.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will change the "Last updated" date above and, for changes that matter to existing customers, notify you by email or a notice on the Services before they take effect. Changes do not reduce the rights attached to a purchase you have already made.

17. General

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. Any ambiguity is to be read in the consumer's favour. These Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Refund Policy are the whole agreement between us about the Services. You may not transfer your account or purchase to anyone else.
