1. Agreement to these Terms
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form an agreement between you and the operator of Corp Code Scout concerning your access to and use of the website, application, data presentation, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). “You” includes an organization when you use the Service on its behalf and have authority to bind it.
Our Privacy Policy explains what personal information the Service collects, why, and the choices and rights you have. It forms part of these Terms and is incorporated by reference.
By creating an account, starting a trial or membership, or using the Service, you confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not access or use the Service.
2. The Service
Corp Code Scout is a corporate hotel code intelligence platform. It compares public prices and corporate rates across supported hotel groups for selected destinations and dates, then presents rate differences, coverage, and related results for professional analysis and benchmarking.
The Service is an information and research tool. It is not a travel agency, booking service, hotel, employer, corporate-rate program, or authorization system. We do not make reservations, issue tickets, approve stays, determine your eligibility, or act for a hotel or company whose name or code appears in the Service.
The Service is designed for hospitality and corporate-travel professionals, analysts, consultants, and market researchers. Other users may access it, but the same responsibilities and limitations in these Terms apply to every user.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding agreement under applicable law. If you use the Service for an organization, you represent that you are authorized to do so. You may not use the Service where access to it would be unlawful.
Access is currently invitation-only. An invitation is tied to the email address it was sent to, may not be transferred, and does not guarantee continued access, trial access, or a paid membership. We may revoke a pending invitation or stop issuing invitations at any time.
4. Your account
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and sign-in method, for activity under your account, and for promptly notifying us of suspected unauthorized access. Account information must be accurate and must not impersonate another person or organization.
Account data is intentionally limited: we keep only what is needed to invite and identify you, authenticate your account, record your agreement to these Terms, apply your search allowance, manage membership access, communicate with you, and provide the Service. The Privacy Policy sets out exactly what we hold, how long we keep it, and who processes it on our behalf.
5. Corporate-code eligibility
The presence of a corporate code, company name, corporate rate, or outbound hotel link in the Service does not mean you are eligible to use it. Corp Code Scout does not encourage or authorize anyone to use a code belonging to a company they do not work for or otherwise represent or qualify through.
Before using a corporate rate, you are solely responsible for confirming your eligibility and complying with all employer, travel-policy, hotel, rate-program, identification, and proof of eligibility requirements. You must not claim an affiliation, employment relationship, or authorization you do not have.
If you choose to visit a hotel website or make a booking after reviewing the Service, that is your independent decision. We are not responsible for a rejected rate, repriced stay, cancelled reservation, denied check-in, employer action, hotel action, or any other consequence of your booking or attempted use of a corporate rate.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the Service or its results for unlawful conduct;
- scrape, crawl, bulk-download, or automate access beyond normal browser use or an interface we expressly provide;
- bypass search allowances, rate limits, access controls, security features, or membership restrictions;
- interfere with the Service, probe it for vulnerabilities, or introduce malicious code;
- reverse engineer or attempt to extract source code except to the limited extent applicable law expressly permits;
- reproduce, resell, repackage, or commercially redistribute a material portion of the Service or its curated results without written permission; or
- infringe intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any person or organization.
We may investigate suspected misuse and take proportionate protective action, including restricting requests, suspending an account, preserving relevant records, or reporting unlawful conduct where appropriate.
7. Rate data and booking decisions
Hotel rates, availability, room terms, taxes, currencies, cancellation rules, and eligibility requirements can change at any time. Search results may be incomplete, delayed, unavailable, or different from the information ultimately presented by a hotel. A displayed comparison is a research observation for the destination, dates, and search conditions shown—not a quote, offer, price guarantee, reservation, or promise of savings.
You must verify material information directly with the hotel or approved travel channel before acting. Outbound links are provided to inspect supporting rate details; they are not an invitation or instruction to book.
8. Where the data comes from, and removal requests
Rates shown in the Service are observations of prices offered through publicly accessible hotel booking interfaces for the destination, dates, and search conditions you select. Corporate codes in the Service are compiled from publicly available sources. Corp Code Scout is independent: it is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or acting for any hotel group, brand, franchisor, or company named in the Service.
If you own or control a corporate rate program, trademark, or other right and believe material in the Service should be corrected or removed, email admin@corpcodescout.com with enough detail to identify the material and the right you are asserting. We review these requests and respond within a reasonable time.
We may add, correct, restrict, or remove any code, company name, hotel, result, or other material at any time, at our discretion and without notice to users, including in response to a rights-holder request or for legal, operational, or commercial reasons. Coverage of any particular code, company, hotel, or brand is never guaranteed and may change.
Nothing in this section limits the copyright notice process described at the end of these Terms.
9. Trial access
An eligible new account may receive a limited trial. The trial allowance and any related limits are shown in the Service. Trial access is provided once per eligible user or account, has no cash value, may not be transferred or combined, and may be withdrawn in cases of abuse.
Trial access does not automatically become a paid membership. You are charged only if you actively start the monthly membership through the payment flow.
10. Monthly membership and billing
The only paid plan is a monthly membership. If you are located in Canada when you start Checkout, the price is $12.99 CAD per month; otherwise, the price is $9.99 USD per month. Prices are plus any applicable taxes. The current price, included search allowance, and any promotional terms are shown in the Service before you confirm payment. By starting a membership, you authorize Stripe and the Service to charge the payment method you provide that amount for each monthly billing period until you cancel.
The membership renews automatically each month until cancelled. You may cancel at any time through the Stripe membership-management flow available in the Service, without contacting us and without a cancellation fee. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period unless the Service states otherwise; access continues until then. Unused searches do not carry over past the end of a billing period.
Except where required by law or expressly stated at purchase, payments are non-refundable and no credits are provided for a partially used billing period. This does not affect statutory rights you may have that cannot be waived—including, for consumers in the European Union and United Kingdom, the right to withdraw from a distance contract within 14 days, and rights under Canadian provincial consumer protection legislation. Where such a right applies, we will honour it.
You are responsible for applicable taxes and for keeping payment information current. We may change membership pricing or terms prospectively, and will give you notice before a change applies to a future renewal so that you can cancel first. A failed or reversed payment may result in restricted or suspended membership access.
11. Availability and fair-use limits
Trial and membership access may include per-search, daily, monthly, concurrency, destination, franchise, or other fair-use limits displayed in the Service. These limits help manage live hotel searches, operating cost, system capacity, and fair access. Limits, supported hotel groups, features, and search methods may change as the Service evolves.
We do not promise uninterrupted availability, a particular response time, completion rate, set of hotels or codes, or any service-level commitment. We may maintain, modify, limit, or discontinue all or part of the Service. Where practicable, we will give reasonable notice of a material change that adversely affects an active paid membership.
12. Third-party services
The Service depends on third parties, including hotel websites and rate systems, Google sign-in, Amazon Web Services and Cognito authentication, Cloudflare and Vercel web delivery, Neon database services, Sentry error reporting, Resend email delivery, Lark Suite email hosting, Stripe payment services, Frankfurter reference exchange-rate data, and OpenFreeMap map tiles. Their services, content, availability, and terms are controlled by them, not by Corp Code Scout.
When you directly use a third-party service or follow an external link, that provider’s terms and privacy practices apply. We are not responsible for third-party websites, data, transactions, security, policy enforcement, or service interruptions. The Privacy Policy describes the providers and other third parties that receive or process information in connection with the Service.
13. Intellectual property
The Service—including its software, interface, visual design, branding, analysis methods, compilation, and original content—is owned by or licensed to the Service operator and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service for its intended purpose while your access is valid.
Company names, hotel brands, trademarks, and third-party content remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance does not imply sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation. If you provide feedback, you permit us to use it without restriction or compensation, provided we do not identify you publicly without permission.
14. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time and may cancel a paid membership through the available Stripe membership-management flow. We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access when we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, created a security or operational risk, failed to pay, abused a trial or allowance, or exposed us or others to legal liability.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination do survive, including provisions concerning payment obligations, intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, indemnity, disputes, and general terms.
15. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, or security. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Corp Code Scout does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any rate, code, comparison, result, savings calculation, or third-party content will be complete, current, accurate, available, or suitable for your purpose.
No information from the Service creates booking authorization, corporate-rate eligibility, professional advice, or a fiduciary duty. You assume the risk of decisions made using the Service.
16. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service operator and its suppliers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; lost profits, revenue, savings, data, goodwill, or business opportunity; or costs arising from a booking, rejected rate, denied eligibility, hotel action, employer action, third-party service, or inability to access the Service.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, total liability for all claims arising from or relating to the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of USD $100 or the amount you paid for the Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. In those jurisdictions, the operator’s liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law, and some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
17. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Service operator and its suppliers from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable legal expenses arising from your misuse of the Service, attempted or completed booking, use of a corporate code or rate, false claim of eligibility or affiliation, violation of these Terms, violation of applicable law, or infringement of third-party rights.
18. Governing law and disputes
These Terms and any dispute arising from or relating to them or to the Service are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without giving effect to conflict-of-law rules that would apply another jurisdiction’s laws. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
You and the Service operator submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and agree that venue there is proper and convenient. This does not prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or data.
The Service is available internationally. If you are a consumer resident outside British Columbia, this section does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection rules of your place of residence, or of any non-waivable right to bring proceedings in the courts of your own country where local law grants it. Those mandatory rules prevail over this section to the extent they conflict with it.
To the extent permitted by law, disputes will be resolved on an individual basis only, and you and the Service operator each waive any right to bring or participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Where this waiver is unenforceable in your jurisdiction, it does not apply to you and the remainder of this section still applies.
Except where a longer period is required by law, any claim arising from or relating to the Service or these Terms must be brought within one year after the claim arises, or it is permanently barred.
Before starting a proceeding, we ask that you first contact us so we can try to resolve the matter informally. Most concerns are resolved this way.
19. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted with a new “Last updated” date and, when appropriate, additional notice such as an email or an in-app notice before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
If you do not accept a revised version, stop using the Service and cancel any active membership before the change takes effect.
20. General terms
If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will stay in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without written consent; we may assign them as part of a reorganization, financing, sale, or transfer of the Service.
Neither party is liable for a delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including network, hosting, payment-processor, or third-party service failures. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship. These Terms are the entire agreement concerning the Service unless separate written terms expressly apply.
21. Contact, copyright, and takedown notices
For questions about these Terms, account support, privacy requests, or notices of any kind, email admin@corpcodescout.com. This is the address for legal notices to the Service operator. We aim to respond to support requests within a reasonable time.
To report material you believe infringes your copyright, send a notice to admin@corpcodescout.com that identifies the copyrighted work, identifies the material and its location in the Service with enough detail for us to find it, gives your contact details, and states that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized and that the information in your notice is accurate. We remove or disable material in response to valid notices and may terminate the access of repeat infringers.
If you believe material was removed in error, you may send a counter-notice to the same address with the corresponding detail. Requests to remove a corporate code, company name, or other non-copyright material are handled under the removal-requests section above.
