Terms of Service

Version 1.0 — In effect on April 28, 2026

Last updated: 22 May 2026 — vocabulary simplification (« Tenant » replaced by « Salon »). No substantive change to rights or obligations.

1. Acceptance of the Terms

These terms (the « Terms ») constitute a contract between you (« you » or the « Salon ») and Les Logiciels Cygsoft Inc. (« Cygsoft », « we »), a Canadian company registered in Quebec (PO Box 1281, Sept-Îles QC G4R 4X7).

By creating an account, accessing or using the Clairgest service (the « Service »), you acknowledge that you have read, understood and accepted these Terms as well as the Privacy Policy.

If you are acting on behalf of a business, you warrant that you have the authority to bind it.

2. Description of the Service

Clairgest is an online management software (SaaS) for esthetics, hair and massage therapy professionals in Canada. The Service notably enables:

  • appointment booking (internal and public),
  • client management and treatment history,
  • invoicing and point of sale,
  • sending transactional communications (SMS reminders, confirmation emails),
  • employee management and time tracking,
  • generating accounting reports.

The Service is provided « as is » and evolves regularly. New features may be added and some may be modified or removed.

3. Registration and account

You must:

  • be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to contract;
  • provide accurate and up-to-date information at registration;
  • maintain the confidentiality of your credentials and the authenticity of your email address;
  • inform us without delay of any unauthorized access to your account.

You are solely responsible for activities carried out through your account.

4. Plans, pricing and payment

4.1 Plans

The Service is offered under different pricing plans, whose features and prices are published on the website and within the Service interface. Cygsoft reserves the right to modify the pricing schedule with 30 days' notice, it being understood that any change applies only to future billing periods.

4.2 Trial period

A free 14-day trial period is offered to new Salons from account creation. No payment method is required for this period. At the end of the trial, access to the Service requires activating a paid plan.

4.3 Billing

Subscriptions are billed monthly on the activation date, in Canadian dollars (CAD), before applicable taxes (GST, QST, or HST depending on the billing province).

Failure to pay results in suspension of access to the Service after a 7-day formal notice, then termination after 30 days of non-payment. During suspension, the Salon's data remains preserved and accessible upon settlement.

4.4 Termination by the Salon

You may terminate your subscription at any time from the Service interface, without fees or penalty. Termination takes effect at the end of the current billing period; no pro-rata refund is offered for periods already started, unless otherwise provided by law.

4.5 Refund policy

Payments made are non-refundable, except:

  • a termination for cause by Cygsoft (while the Salon complies with the Terms),
  • a legal obligation to refund.

5. Salon Data and ownership

5.1 Data ownership

You retain all rights, title and interest in the data you enter into the Service (« Salon Data »), including client records, appointment history and the content you produce.

You grant Cygsoft a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide and revocable license to use, process and store the Salon Data strictly to provide, maintain and improve the Service.

5.2 Confidentiality

Cygsoft treats Salon Data as confidential, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

5.3 Salon's responsibility toward its own clients

The Salon is solely responsible for:

  • obtaining the consent of its End Clients for the collection of their information,
  • complying with the obligations imposed by Quebec's Law 25, PIPEDA (federal) and any other applicable law,
  • collecting parental consent for minor End Clients (see Privacy Policy art. 11),
  • responding to End Clients' requests regarding their rights (access, rectification, deletion),
  • retaining and producing proof of consent in case of a request from the regulatory authority.

Cygsoft provides the technical tools to fulfill these obligations (export, deletion, audit log), but their execution is the Salon's responsibility.

5.4 Export and portability

At any time and at the latest upon termination, the Salon may export its Data in a structured format (CSV or JSON) via the Service interface. This export is offered free of charge for 30 days following termination.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use the Service for illegal, fraudulent or deceptive activities,
  • send unsolicited commercial electronic messages (spam) in violation of Law C-28 (CASL),
  • circumvent or attempt to circumvent security mechanisms, or attempt to access another Salon's data,
  • perform reverse engineering, decompiling or source code extraction,
  • host or distribute through the Service any illegal, defamatory or hateful content, sexual content involving minors, or content infringing third-party rights,
  • saturate, overload or disrupt the Service's servers or infrastructure,
  • resell, rent or sublicense access to the Service to third parties without Cygsoft's prior written authorization,
  • use unauthorized robots or automated systems to interact with the Service.

Any violation may result in immediate suspension or termination of the account, without refund, and may be subject to legal proceedings.

7. Cygsoft's intellectual property

The Service, its code, design, interfaces, brand (« Clairgest »), logos and all documentation are the exclusive property of Cygsoft (or its licensors), and are protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.

No provision of these Terms grants you any right or license over these elements, other than a limited right to use the Service in accordance with these Terms.

8. Limited warranties and availability

8.1 Service provided « as is »

The Service is provided « as is » and « as available ». To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cygsoft disclaims all express or implied warranties, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

8.2 Availability

Cygsoft makes reasonable efforts to maintain high availability of the Service, but does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free or perfectly secure operation. Maintenance windows may cause interruptions, generally announced in advance.

8.3 Backups

Cygsoft maintains backups of the Service, but the Salon remains responsible for keeping its own copies of its critical data, notably via the export function.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Cygsoft's total cumulative liability toward a Salon, for any cause whatsoever (contractual, tort or otherwise), during a given year, shall not exceed the amount of subscription fees paid by that Salon to Cygsoft during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Cygsoft is in no case liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data or clientele, even if Cygsoft has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

No provision of these Terms has the effect of excluding or limiting liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited (notably public order obligations).

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Cygsoft (as well as its officers, employees and sub-processors) from any claim, loss, liability, damage, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

  • your violation of these Terms,
  • your illegal or unauthorized use of the Service,
  • a violation by you of a third party's rights (notably the privacy of your End Clients),
  • the content you enter or distribute through the Service.

11. Suspension and termination by Cygsoft

Cygsoft may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, without notice, in case of:

  • serious or repeated violation of these Terms or the Privacy Policy,
  • persistent failure to pay after formal notice,
  • reasonable suspicion of fraudulent or illegal activity,
  • order of a competent judicial or regulatory authority,
  • jeopardizing the integrity of the Service or the security of other Salons.

In case of termination for cause, your Data remains recoverable for 30 days, subject to contrary legal obligations.

12. Changes to the Service

Cygsoft may evolve the Service, add, modify or remove features. Substantial changes affecting the main use of the Service will be communicated with reasonable notice.

If a change substantially reduces the essential features of a current paid plan, the Salon may terminate its subscription and obtain a pro-rata refund of amounts paid in advance and not used.

13. Changes to the Terms

Cygsoft may modify these Terms. The date of the last update appears at the top of the document.

In case of substantial changes, we will notify Salons by email and require their explicit acceptance at the next login. Refusal to accept the new Terms ends the contract at the end of the current billing period.

14. Assignment

You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.

Cygsoft may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, to any affiliated entity or in case of merger, acquisition or sale of assets, provided that the Salon's rights are preserved at least equivalently.

15. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for a failure to perform its obligations caused by an event beyond its reasonable control (natural disaster, major infrastructure failure of third-party providers, government action, armed conflict, pandemic, etc.).

16. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the province of Quebec, Canada, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service shall be submitted exclusively to the jurisdiction of the courts of the judicial district of Mingan (Sept-Îles), province of Quebec, subject to remedies that may be brought before a court of another district under public order rules.

17. General provisions

  • Entirety: these Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the complete agreement between you and Cygsoft.
  • Non-waiver: Cygsoft's failure to exercise a right or provision does not constitute a waiver.
  • Severability: if a clause is found invalid or unenforceable, the other clauses remain in effect.
  • Survival: the sections relating to intellectual property, confidentiality, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law and jurisdiction survive termination.
