Terms of use

Last updated November 13, 2026

AcreScout ("we") is a search and analysis tool for land listed for sale in Canada, operated by Buretto Technologies Inc., a British Columbia company, 422 Richards St, Suite 170, Vancouver, BC V6B 2Z4. By using it you agree to these terms. Contact: support@acrescout.ca or 778-819-1350 (voicemail).

What AcreScout is

We collect asking prices and basic facts from public listings, then add our own rankings, estimates, scores and notes. We link to the original listing for full details. We are not a real estate brokerage and don't represent buyers or sellers.

Not advice

Listings change, sell, or contain errors, and our estimates and scores are automated and approximate. Nothing here is legal, tax, financial or real estate advice. Confirm every detail with the listing agent, a lawyer and the relevant land registry before you make an offer. The buyer-rule notes (taxes, approvals and ownership limits that depend on your residency or citizenship) are short summaries with links to their sources, not legal advice; rules change, so confirm them with a lawyer in the province where you're buying. The same goes for due-diligence reports: they summarize public data and rules, and they don't say whether a lot can be built on, whether a well will find water or a septic system will pass, or anything about title, liens or easements.

Accounts and access

The free version needs no account. Paid features (value check and scores, problems in the ad, total cost to buy and parcel maps) are marked with a lock.
With an account you can try the full version free for 24 hours, once per person, from when the trial starts (registering from a locked feature starts it). Trials started before October 29, 2026 keep the 3 days of use they were offered: each day lasts 24 hours from when you open AcreScout while signed in, and unused days expire 21 days after your first. We may decline a trial for an address, device or network that has already had one, or for disposable email addresses. After the trial you keep the free version; nothing is charged.
The monthly plan renews automatically each month until you cancel. You can cancel any time from Account → Receipts and billing, and you keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
The one-time payment is a single payment for the full version for as long as AcreScout operates. It doesn't renew. Its due-diligence reports (below) are included for 12 months from the payment; payments made before November 14, 2026 keep them with no end date. If you pay once while on the monthly plan, the monthly plan stops at the end of the period you already paid for.
The 6-month pass is no longer sold; passes bought earlier run to the end of their 183 days.
A listing unlock is a single payment that gives you the full details of one listing for as long as AcreScout operates and the listing is in our data.
A due-diligence report is a written summary of one listing in British Columbia, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick or Prince Edward Island: what you can build, access, hazards, water and septic, what's next door, a price check, who can buy it and questions to ask. It isn't sold on its own: the monthly plan, the one-time payment and a 6-month pass bought earlier include up to 10 reports a month per account (counted by calendar month, Pacific time) and a listing unlock includes that listing's report; the free trial doesn't include one. An AI model writes it from the public data and rules it cites; we check every line against its source and read early reports ourselves before they're sent. It's usually ready within minutes, sometimes within a day, and we email you when it is. If the listing changes, the report says so when you open it and an updated one is written; reload the page later to see it (we don't email again for an update). Reports are in English.
Earlier lifetime access purchases are the one-time payment: they keep access for as long as AcreScout operates.
Accounts are for one person and can be signed in on up to 3 devices at once; signing in on another signs out the oldest. Don't share your sign-in, resell the data, or copy it in bulk with scripts or bots. Downloads are limited per day, and we may suspend accounts that break these rules.

Prices and payment

Current prices are on the prices page. Prices are in Canadian dollars. Payments are handled by Stripe, which sells the plans to you as our reseller (merchant of record): it charges your card, adds any sales tax that applies where you live (GST/HST, QST or other), shows the total before you pay, and emails your receipt. You agree to these terms when you check out.

Refunds

If you're not happy, email us within 14 days of your first payment and we'll refund it in full. After that, payments are non-refundable except where the law requires. If AcreScout closes within a year of a one-time payment, we refund the part of the year left, in proportion to the days remaining. If you tell us about a mistake in a due-diligence report, we fix it for everyone who has it; a report for a listing taken down before it was written doesn't count toward your reports. When a payment is refunded or disputed with your card issuer, the access it paid for ends, including the reports it included.

Liability

AcreScout is provided as-is. To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Some places, including Quebec, don't allow these limits for consumers; there they apply only as far as the law permits.

Data sources

Listing facts and asking prices come from public listings, and each links to its source. Parcel outlines contain information licensed under the Open Government Licence – British Columbia (ParcelMap BC), the Open Government Licence – New Brunswick (GeoNB), the Open Government Licence – Prince Edward Island, the OpenMB Information Use Licence (Manitoba assessment parcels), the Open Government Licence – Canada (Yukon surveyed parcels, via GeoYukon), the Open Government Licence – Alberta (Alberta Township System), the York Region Open Data Licence (York Region parcels), the Open Government Licence – Toronto (City of Toronto property boundaries) and CC BY 4.0 (Ville de Rouyn-Noranda assessment units). Place names come from GeoNames (CC BY 4.0), maps from © OpenStreetMap contributors and boundaries from Natural Earth. Parcel outlines are for orientation only and are not a survey. Land facts come from federal and provincial open data under the Open Government Licence – Canada and the open government licences of British Columbia, Ontario and Nova Scotia, and Quebec data under CC BY 4.0; the About page lists each source. They describe the mapped location from public records and don't replace a site visit, a well test or a title search.
