GigJar is in open beta in Ontario.

GigJar Terms of Use

Effective date: November 2, 2026

Last updated: November 2, 2026

The short version

• GigJar keeps your records and shows estimates. It is not tax, legal or accounting advice.
• You check your own records and file your own taxes.
• One plan includes everything. It costs 14.99 CAD a month or 119.88 CAD a year, and renews until you cancel. Both plans start with 14 days free. A plan started before the change keeps the price it started with.
• You need an active trial or plan to use GigJar. You can always export your records or delete your account.
• You own your data. You can export it or delete your account at any time.
• GigJar is in beta, so features may change and there may be bugs.

1. About these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and Haruun Abduul, a sole proprietor in Ontario, Canada, operating as GigJar. In these terms, "GigJar", "we", "us" and "our" mean Haruun Abduul, operating as GigJar. "You" means the person using GigJar.

These terms apply when you use gigjar.ca, the GigJar app and our related services. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information. It is part of these terms.

Before you buy a plan, we show you the price, the total and the main terms. You can then accept or decline, and fix any mistakes before you pay. After you sign up, we email you a copy of these terms.

If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use GigJar.

2. What GigJar is, and what it is not

GigJar is a record keeping tool for self employed people. It helps you:

• keep records of your work, income and expenses;
• see estimates of the taxes you may owe.

GigJar is not:

• tax, legal or accounting advice;
• a tax preparer or a way to file your taxes;
• a replacement for a qualified professional.

GigJar does not file anything with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for you.

Estimates, not tax advice. Our estimates are based on the records you give us and on tax rules as we understand them. Tax laws change. Estimates can be wrong or out of date. They may not cover everything in your situation.

You are responsible for:

• checking that your records are complete and correct;
• deciding what to claim on your tax return;
• filing your own taxes and paying what you owe on time;
• keeping your records for as long as the CRA requires.

GigJar can help you keep a vehicle logbook and receipts, but we cannot promise the CRA will accept them. If you are not sure about your taxes, talk to a qualified tax professional.

3. GigJar is in beta

GigJar is in open beta. This means:

• features may change, be added or be removed;
• there may be bugs, errors or downtime;
• the way we calculate estimates may change as we improve it.

We will tell you about big changes. Please export your records often so you always have your own copy.

4. Who can use GigJar

To use GigJar, you must:

• be 18 or older;
• live in Canada (during the beta, you must live in Ontario);
• use GigJar for your own self employment.

Each account is for one person. Do not share your account. Do not use GigJar to keep records for other people or other businesses.

5. Keeping your account safe

• Give us true details, and keep them up to date.
• Keep your sign in details safe. Do not share them with anyone.
• Turn on two step sign in if we offer it.
• Keep your GigJar inbox address private. Anyone who has it can send emails into your account.
• Tell us right away at support@gigjar.ca if you think someone else has used your account.

You are responsible for what happens in your account, unless it was caused by our mistake.

6. Plans and payment

One plan includes every feature. You choose how to pay:

• Monthly: 14.99 CAD a month.
• Yearly: 119.88 CAD a year.

• You need a trial or a plan. To use GigJar, you need an active free trial or plan. Without one, you can still sign in, choose a plan, see your billing, export your records and delete your account.
• Tax. GigJar is not registered for GST/HST right now, so we do not add sales tax to your plan. If we register, we will tell you at least 30 days before any tax is added, and you can cancel before it starts.
• Payment. You pay in Canadian dollars. Stripe processes payments for us.
• Automatic renewal. Your plan renews automatically at the end of each month or year. We charge your payment method each time, until you cancel.
• Free trial. New members can try GigJar free for 14 days on the monthly or the yearly plan. An account that had a plan or a trial before does not get a second trial. Before you start a trial, we show you what happens when it ends. When the trial ends, your plan starts and we charge the card you gave us, unless you cancel before then. Stripe emails you a reminder before the first charge.
• Codes. We may offer codes for free months. A code may work only for new accounts, only on the monthly plan, or only until a set date. If you open a link that carries a code, GigJar may remember it for up to 30 days and add it at checkout. Before you pay, the checkout shows what the code gives and when your normal price starts. Codes have no cash value.
• Failed payments. If a payment fails, we will tell you and try again. If it still fails, we may pause paid features until you pay. You can still sign in and export your records.
• Price changes. We will give you at least 30 days' notice by email before a new price applies to you. The new price starts at your first renewal after that notice period. If you do not want to pay it, you can cancel before it starts, at no cost. We will not raise our prices more than once in any 12 month period.

7. Cancelling

You can cancel your plan at any time in your account settings, or by emailing support@gigjar.ca.

• Monthly plan. You keep access until the end of the month you paid for. We will not charge you again.
• Yearly plan. You keep access until the end of the year you paid for. We will not charge you again.
• Refunds. We do not refund unused time, except where the law requires it or these terms say we will.
• Your account stays open. Cancelling your plan does not delete your account. You can still sign in and export your records. To delete your account and data, see our Privacy Policy.
• Bank connection. If you stop paying, we remove your bank connection 30 days after your paid time ends.

Your rights under Ontario law. Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, 2002 may give you extra rights to cancel. For example, you may be able to cancel and get your money back if we did not give you certain information before you signed up. The same may apply if we did not send you a copy of this agreement in time. Nothing in these terms takes those rights away.

8. Your data

You own your data. "Your data" means the records, receipts, files and other information you put into GigJar.

You give us permission to store, copy, process and show your data only to run GigJar for you. This includes letting the service providers in our Privacy Policy handle it, only so they can help us run GigJar. This permission ends when your data is deleted.

We do not sell your data. We do not use it for ads.

You can export your data at any time. You can delete your account at any time, as our Privacy Policy explains.

Keep your own copy. The CRA expects you to keep your tax records for six years from the end of the last tax year they relate to. GigJar is not a backup service. Export your records often, and always before you delete your account.

9. Information about other people

Your records may include details about other people, like clients, guests or customers. Only add details you have the right to use for your business.

10. Other companies' services

• Plaid. Connecting a bank is optional. If you connect one, Plaid's own terms and End User Privacy Policy also apply.
• Rollee. Linking a gig app is optional. If you link one, you sign in to that app on Rollee's screen, and Rollee brings in what the app pays you. Your gig app's own terms still apply to your account there. Check them before you link.
• Google. If you sign in with Google, Google's own terms apply to your Google account.
• Stripe. Stripe processes your payments under its own terms.
• Your bank. Your bank's agreement with you may have rules about sharing your banking details with apps. Check those rules before you connect.
• Gig apps and platforms. Names like Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Airbnb, Vrbo, Etsy and Upwork belong to their owners. GigJar is not part of, approved by or endorsed by them.

We choose these companies with care, but we do not control them. We are not responsible for their services, except where the law says we are.

11. Things you must not do

You must not:

• use GigJar for anything illegal;
• enter false records, or use GigJar to mislead the CRA or any other government body;
• use someone else's account, or let someone else use yours;
• try to break into GigJar, get around its limits, or test its security without our written permission;
• overload GigJar, or use bots or scrapers on it;
• upload viruses or harmful code;
• copy, sell or resell GigJar, or reverse engineer it, except where the law allows;
• use GigJar to build a competing product.

12. Our property

GigJar's software, design, name and logo belong to us or to the companies that license them to us. These terms give you a personal, limited right to use GigJar while your account is open. They give you no other rights to GigJar.

If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them to improve GigJar without paying you.

13. When GigJar is not available

We work hard to keep GigJar running, but we cannot promise it will always be available or free of errors. It may be down at times, for example for maintenance, or because of problems with our service providers or the internet.

If we decide to close GigJar for good, we will give you at least 30 days' notice so you can export your records. We will refund any time you paid for but could not use.

14. Our promises and their limits

We will provide GigJar with reasonable care and skill. Ontario law says services sold to consumers must be of reasonably acceptable quality. Nothing in these terms takes that away.

Apart from that, and any other promises the law does not let us remove, we provide GigJar "as is". We do not promise that:

• estimates will be correct or complete;
• GigJar will catch every error or every deduction;
• the CRA will accept your records or your tax return.

15. Limits on our liability

We are not responsible for:

• tax penalties, interest or extra tax you owe because you relied on an estimate or a record in GigJar. Always check your records and your tax return before you file;
• losses caused by events outside our reasonable control, like a major internet outage;
• indirect losses, like lost profits or lost business.

If we are responsible for a loss, the most we will pay is the total you paid us in the 12 months before the event that caused it.

These limits do not apply:

• where Ontario consumer protection law does not allow a limit;
• to losses caused by our fraud, our deliberate wrongdoing or our gross negligence;
• where any other law says we cannot limit our liability.

16. Suspending or closing accounts

We may suspend or close your account if:

• you break these terms in a serious way, or keep breaking them after we warn you;
• we must do so to follow the law or a court order;
• your account puts GigJar, our users or other people at risk, for example through fraud or a security threat.

When we can, we will tell you first and give you a chance to fix the problem. Unless the law stops us, we will let you export your records. If we close your account for a reason that is not your fault, we will refund the unused part of any plan you paid for.

17. Changes to these terms

We may propose changes to these terms, to our prices, or to the features in your plan.

• We will tell you about a change by email at least 30 days, and no more than 90 days, before it takes effect. We may also show it in the app.
• The notice will explain the change, when it starts, your choices, how to tell us you do not agree, and what happens if you do not answer.
• If you do not agree, you can cancel your plan before the change takes effect, with no fee or penalty. If you have a yearly plan and the change starts before your year ends, we will refund the unused part of your plan.
• If you keep using GigJar after the change takes effect, the new terms apply to you.
• A change does not affect anything that happened before it took effect.

If the law makes us change something sooner, we will tell you as soon as we can.

18. Disputes and the law that applies

These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply in Ontario.

If you are a consumer, nothing in these terms takes away any rights you have under Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, 2002 or other Ontario consumer law.

If you have a problem, please contact us first. We will try to fix it fairly and quickly. If we cannot, you can take your claim to the courts of Ontario, including Small Claims Court. These terms do not require arbitration.

19. General terms

• These terms and our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about GigJar.
• If a court decides that part of these terms is not valid, the rest still applies.
• If we do not enforce a term right away, we can still enforce it later.
• You may not transfer your account or these terms to anyone else. We may transfer them if GigJar is sold or reorganized. If that happens, we will tell you, and your rights under these terms will not be reduced.
• We may send you notices by email or in the app. You agree to receive them electronically.
