3. No account required

CanuckNet currently does not require an account to use its general Search or Maps services.

Your use of location-enabled features is optional and subject to the permissions you grant through your browser or device.

4. Search results

CanuckNet search results may originate from or be influenced by third-party search engines, websites, open datasets and other external sources.

CanuckNet does not control the content of third-party websites appearing in search results.

The appearance of a website, business, organization or other resource in CanuckNet results does not constitute an endorsement by CanuckNet.

Search results may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, unavailable or inappropriate for a particular purpose.

5. Maps and Places information

CanuckNet Maps and CanuckNet Places may contain information obtained from CanuckNet's own reviewed database, OpenStreetMap and other open or third-party data sources.

Although we work to improve accuracy, information about businesses, addresses, roads, operating status, locations and other places may be incomplete or outdated.

Users should independently verify important information when necessary.

6. Directions and navigation

Routes, directions, travel times, distances and navigation information provided by CanuckNet are estimates.

Do not follow a CanuckNet route when doing so would be unsafe, unlawful or impossible.

Roads, trails, ferries, bridges and other transportation infrastructure can change faster than mapping data.
