Registration Contract with CITÉ+

In order to access the CITÉ+ system, clients must confirm that they have read, understood and accepted the provisions of this contract by clicking on the button “I agree”.

Certification

Since access to the CITÉ+ website is reserved exclusively for real estate experts, all new clients must indicate in the registration form in what capacity they wish to access it (real estate agent, architect, lawyer, developer, mortgagee, certified evaluator, notary, etc.) and must provide, within thirty (30) days of registration, certification proving their status as real estate specialists to the following address:

Ville de Montréal - Cité+
801, Brennan
9th floor
Montréal, Québec
H3C 0G4

Clients who fail to meet this requirement will be refused access to the CITÉ+ service, and neither the fees paid for their registration nor the amount of the deposit they made in their customer accounts will be refunded to them.

Fees

Annual registration fees of $161.10 must be paid at the time of registration. These fees are non-refundable.

Fees of $7.70 are required on every transaction. They are paid at the time of the request and drawn from the balance of the customer account. The balance of the customer account is displayed online, and the fees are debited in real time.

Prior to the very first request, the customer account must have a balance of no less than $20. The deposit in the client account is non-refundable.

Clients may consult their account statement online to see details of transactions, such as date of each request, account number and type of account, etc.

The City reserves the right to modify the amount of fees related to CITÉ+ use. Any modification of annual registration fees will come into effect the following January 1st. Any other modification will come into effect within thirty (30) days of the notice.

Change of E-mail Address

Clients must absolutely notify the online support staff of CITÉ+ whenever they change e-mail addresses, since this address is included in their user code. This change can be done directly using the “Change entry” form placed under Clients in the menu bar.

Clients are responsible for notifying the online support staff of CITÉ+ of any other changes in information provided in the user files.

Passwords

Holders of passwords authorizing them to access the CITÉ+ website are responsible for any activities related to these passwords.

Obligation to Accept Cookies

    1. they must accept the presence of witnesses (cookies) that is they must not configure their computers in order not to accept cookies; and

    2. they must guarantee their browser uses a 128-bit cryptographic protocol; otherwise access to CITÉ+ will be refused.

Data of the CITÉ+ Website

The City guarantees that the CITÉ+ website data corresponds to the best of its knowledge to the state of the situation of any account at the time of the request, subject to any eventual modification which could have a retroactive effect on the balance of any account: interest adjustment, addition of transfer taxes, and renovation taxes, cancelled payments, etc.
