These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Border Advantage’s websites, content, and any related online services (collectively, the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
2. Who We Are; Scope
Border Advantage (“Border Advantage,” “we,” “our,” “us”) provides cross-border trade consulting services for businesses operating in Canada and the United States. The Site is intended for business users. Separate written agreements (for example, proposals, statements of work, master services agreements, or data processing terms) may govern any paid or managed services; in the event of conflict, those written agreements control.
3. Changes to the Terms and the Site
We may update these Terms at any time. The “Effective Date” above reflects the latest version. Continued use of the Site after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Site or any part of it at any time without liability.

5. Informational Nature; No Professional or Legal Advice
Content on the Site is provided solely for general information. It does not constitute legal advice, accounting advice, customs brokerage services, or professional advice of any kind, and should not be relied upon as such.

Decisions by government agencies (including U.S. CBP and the CBSA) are outside our control and may affect outcomes.
6. Pricing and Claims
Marketing descriptions, including statements such as “no savings, no fees,” are general explanations of a pricing approach and are not a guarantee of results.

Unsolicited information submitted through the Site may not be treated as confidential, and we assume no liability arising from such submissions.
