Terms of Use

Rules for using the archive and contributing historical material.

Last updated: September 2026

1. Archive purpose

LostCanadianBrands.ca is an independent historical and community archive. References to former brands, trademarks and companies are descriptive and do not imply sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation with former owners, successors or rights holders.

2. Historical information

Archive material may come from public sources and community contributions. We work to improve accuracy but historical information may be incomplete, disputed or corrected over time.

3. Your contributions

By submitting text, photographs, scans, advertisements, catalogues, corrections or other material, you represent that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you own the submitted material or have sufficient permission or legal rights to provide it.

You grant LostCanadianBrands.ca a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, reproduce, resize, format, display, publish and otherwise use an approved contribution for operation and promotion of the archive, while you retain any rights you otherwise hold in your material.

4. Review and moderation

Submissions are not automatically published. We may review, edit for formatting or clarity, request additional information, decline, unpublish or remove material at our discretion, including for rights, privacy, safety, accuracy, relevance, quality or legal concerns.

5. Prohibited submissions

Do not submit material you do not have the right to provide, private or confidential information, unlawful content, malware, deceptive material, impersonation, harassment, or content that unreasonably infringes another person's privacy or intellectual-property rights.

6. Trademarks and third-party material

Brand names, logos and other marks may remain protected even where a business has closed. Their appearance in this historical archive is intended for identification, commentary and documentation. Rights remain with their respective owners where applicable.

7. Removal and disputes

If you believe archive material infringes rights, exposes inappropriate personal information or contains a significant factual problem, use the process described in our Content & Takedown Policy. We may temporarily restrict material while reviewing a concern.

8. Availability and changes

We may change, suspend or discontinue features and may update these Terms as the archive evolves. Continued use after an updated version is posted is subject to the revised Terms.

9. Disclaimer and limitation

The archive is provided for general historical and informational purposes on an “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law, LostCanadianBrands.ca disclaims warranties not expressly stated here and is not responsible for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the site.
