1. Your data belongs to you
Your documents remain your exclusive property. We do not look at the contents of your files and we never share them with third parties.
Ownership of data: You retain all rights, title and interest in your data (“Client Data”). This includes all documents, files and information that you or your users upload to Meo.
Automated processing only: Our systems process your data on an automated basis only, in order to provide storage, backup, encryption and the proper operation of the service. No employee of 9553-6785 Québec Inc. accesses the contents of your files, unless you expressly request it for technical support.
No sale or sharing: We never sell, rent or share your data with third parties for commercial purposes. Your data is never used for targeted advertising or profiling.
Retrieving your data: You can export all of your data at any time from your dashboard. If the subscription is terminated, your data remains available for download for 30 days.
Suggestions and feedback: If you send us suggestions for improvement or feedback about the service, we may use them freely to improve Meo, with no obligation to compensate you.
2. Use of the service
Licence to use: We grant you a non-exclusive, revocable licence to use Meo according to your plan. This licence is personal and may not be transferred or resold.
Creating an account: To use Meo, you must create an account at app.documeo.ca. You undertake to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date, in particular your billing information.
Users on your team: You may invite members of your team (“Users”) to access your account. You designate an administrator responsible for managing access. Each user receives a unique identifier that makes their actions traceable.
External collaborators
Meo lets you share documents with people outside your organization (“Collaborators”).
- Collaborators have limited access: they can upload files and interact according to the permissions you grant them.
- You are responsible for choosing your Collaborators and for making sure they comply with these terms.
- We may revoke a Collaborator's access in the event of misuse.

- Transmit viruses or malicious software, or disrupt the operation of the service
- Reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to extract the source code of Meo
- Resell or sublicense access to the service
Removal of content: We reserve the right to remove any content that breaches these terms or could expose us to legal liability, without incurring any liability towards you.
Responsibility for your account: You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity on your account. Notify us immediately of any security breach or unauthorized use at support@documeo.ca.
3. Subscription and payment
Plans and pricing: Pricing for our plans is available at documeo.ca. Each plan includes a set number of users, spaces and storage.

Taxes: Displayed prices do not include applicable taxes (GST/QST). These taxes will be added to your invoice in accordance with the laws in force.
