Address and map checksSome reviews remain manual; map coverage varies by address.

Where address suggestions are available, pick a suggestion in the checker to run connected maps. A typed address alone does not run them. Coverage and service availability are checked for the actual point; a missing match or unavailable map does not clear a review.

Sign district: Manual category selection. No automatic sign-district lookup is connected for this municipality.
Heritage conservation district: Manual review. No qualified automatic district layer is connected.
Conservation authority: Available map screening: Toronto and Region Conservation Authority; Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority. Positive overlaps can flag a review; empty results do not clear it. These layers do not cover every property in the municipality.
Highway, heritage register and rail: MTO highway control, the individual heritage register and Metrolinx corridor review still need manual confirmation. A heritage district result does not clear the property register.

Permit guidance
Guidance on an existing-frame alteration. Confirm the permit or exemption and the existing sign’s approval; this is not a new size calculation.

Address and map checksSome reviews remain manual; map coverage varies by address.

Sign district: Automatic zoning lookup is connected. Confirm the suggested sign category; unmatched zones and uncovered points need manual selection.
Heritage conservation district: Manual review. No qualified automatic district layer is connected.
Conservation authority: Available map screening: Toronto and Region Conservation Authority; Credit Valley Conservation. Positive overlaps can flag a review; empty results do not clear it. These layers do not cover every property in the municipality.
Highway, heritage register and rail: MTO highway control, the individual heritage register and Metrolinx corridor review still need manual confirmation. A heritage district result does not clear the property register.

Sign district: Automatic zoning lookup is connected. Confirm the suggested sign category; unmatched zones and uncovered points need manual selection.
Heritage conservation district: Manual review. No qualified automatic district layer is connected.
Conservation authority: Available map screening: Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. Positive overlaps can flag a review; empty results do not clear it. These layers do not cover every property in the municipality.
Highway, heritage register and rail: MTO highway control, the individual heritage register and Metrolinx corridor review still need manual confirmation. A heritage district result does not clear the property register.

Illustrative samples for the same fictional Toronto storefront: a wall sign with assumed measurements and district. Highway and heritage questions remain open. These show the report format, not approval for a real property.

What counts as a check

One property, with 90 days to refine it. Add measurements, answer checklist items or switch supported sign types at the same address and municipality without another check. Reopening or copying a project does not extend its original expiry. Keep the same address spelling. Visitors keep the allowance in their original browser; save a completed check to your account to carry it across devices. A different address or municipality is a new check. After expiry, or when a saved allowance cannot be verified, we ask before using another check. Older saved checks may have no allowance recorded. Report downloads use no checks; checks without an address cover the current visit only.

How paying works

Payment is handled by Stripe. Before you pay, Stripe's page shows the currency, any tax, the amount due and how the plan renews. There are no other fees. You'll be asked to confirm that you're buying for business use and that you agree to the Terms of Use.

Starter's 10 checks

Starter's checks reset at the start of each billing month. Checks you don't use in a month don't carry over. Need a few more? Add 5 checks for $29 CAD plus applicable tax from Your account. Purchased checks do not expire and remain available after cancellation; monthly checks are used first. For ongoing higher volume, move to Pro in Manage billing; Stripe shows the price difference before you confirm.

Teammates on Pro

Pro covers you and up to four teammates. Open Account → Your account → Your team to add a teammate's work email. This stays in Account and sends no invitation; ask them to request a code when signing in. Removing them ends their team access at once. Billing stays with you.

Changing plan and cancelling

Both plans renew each month until you cancel. Change plan or cancel any time from Manage billing in the tool; a cancelled plan runs to the end of the month you've paid for. You never have to email anyone to stop paying.

Refunds

Email support@signallow.ca from your checkout email to request a refund. We aim to respond within two business days.

Unused top-up: full refund within 14 days if none of that purchase’s five checks has been used. Monthly or free checks used separately do not affect this.
First subscription payment: full refund within 7 days if you and your teammates have used no paid checks; the subscription is cancelled.
Accidental renewal: refund within 72 hours if no checks from the new billing period have been used; future renewals are cancelled and access for the refunded period ends.
Partially used top-ups and other subscription periods are normally non-refundable. We correct billing errors, restore checks lost to technical failures and offer an appropriate refund if we cannot deliver the purchased service.

Refunds include applicable tax, use the original payment method and have no processing or administration deduction. An unfavourable by-law result alone is not a reason for a refund. Rights under applicable law remain available. See the Terms of Use for full details.

Using it on another device

No password to remember. Open Account → Already paid? Get back in with your checkout or team email, then enter the one-time code. Signing in restores your plan access and account-saved projects. Browser-only history stays on the original device.
