Part I Customer Terms of Service

 

Effective date: July 17, 2026

 

Last updated: July 17, 2026

 

Version: consumer-terms-v1.0

 

These Customer Terms of Service ( Terms ) are a legal agreement between you and Charmonix, carrying on business as LuminPay ( LuminPay, we, us or our ). They govern your personal use of luminpay.charmonix.ca, related customer pages and the LuminPay marketplace, membership, credits, booking-request and account services (collectively, the Platform ).

 

Please read these Terms before creating an account or paying. Important recurring-price, cancellation, credit and clinic information appears near the beginning because it should not be hidden in fine print.

 

IMPORTANT

 

The $1 charge is a paid 30-day introductory period, not a free trial. After 30 days, your selected pass renews automatically every month at $49 for Starter or $89 for Pro, plus applicable tax, until you cancel. Your exact first renewal date and each periodic amount must be shown before you pay.

 

1. Who we are and how to contact us

 

Your supplier and contracting party is:

 

Charmonix, doing business as LuminPay

 

Business and mailing address: 2482 Yonge St, Toronto, Ontario, M4P 2H5, Canada

 

Customer support: hello@charmonix.ca | 647-947-7921

 

Privacy: hello@charmonix.ca

 

Website: https://luminpay.charmonix.ca

 

The full legal entity, address, working contact methods and any legally required registration or licence information must also appear at checkout and on the contract receipt.

 

2. Eligibility and personal use

 

You may use the Platform only if you:

 

are at least 18 years old;

 

have legal capacity to enter a contract;

 

are using the Platform primarily for personal, family or household purposes;

 

are located in a region that LuminPay currently serves; and

 

provide accurate account and payment information.

 

The launch service area is Calgary, Alberta, unless the Platform expressly identifies another approved area. You may not create an account for a minor, resell credits or use a consumer account for a clinic, ambassador, employer or other commercial purpose.

 

3. LuminPay is a marketplace, not a clinic

 

LuminPay administers a marketplace membership, credits, payment status and booking requests. LuminPay is not a medical clinic, health professional, pharmacy, insurer or emergency service. We do not diagnose, prescribe, recommend treatment, decide whether a procedure is suitable, set clinical units or doses, obtain clinical consent, perform a procedure or guarantee a clinical result.

 

Participating clinics and their regulated professionals are independent from LuminPay. The clinic alone decides assessment, eligibility, contraindications, treatment, units or dosage, clinical pricing, consent, scheduling, aftercare and outcome. A clinic may decline or change a proposed service for clinical or lawful reasons. Your clinical relationship is with the clinic and is governed by the clinic s own patient terms, consent documents, cancellation rules and privacy notice.

 

Do not use LuminPay for emergencies or urgent medical concerns. Contact 911 or an appropriate health professional.

 

4. The current membership offer

 

All amounts are in Canadian dollars. Applicable government taxes may be added. No other mandatory fee may be added unless it is clearly included in the total before you agree.

 

Selected pass

 

Due when you join

 

Introductory period

 

First renewal and cadence

 

Credits after verified payment

 

Starter

 

$1.00 plus applicable tax

 

30 days

 

$49.00 plus applicable tax 30 days after secure checkout, then monthly until cancelled

 

0.83 introductory credit, then 4.00 credits after each successful monthly renewal

30 days

 

$89.00 plus applicable tax 30 days after secure checkout, then monthly until cancelled

 

0.83 introductory credit, then 8.00 credits after each successful monthly renewal

 

The checkout must show your selected plan, amount due now, applicable tax, exact first renewal date, recurring amount and frequency, credits issued after each verified payment, cancellation route and any material restrictions before you pay. If the checkout conflicts with this table, do not continue and contact support.

 

The current contract acknowledgement is:

 

I understand today s $1.00 CAD charge plus applicable tax and that my selected pass will renew automatically at the price shown above beginning 30 days after I complete secure checkout, then monthly until I cancel.

 

That acknowledgement must be a separate, unchecked control. Optional email marketing and optional SMS marketing must use their own separate, unchecked controls. You may buy without agreeing to marketing.

 

5. Forming the online contract

 

Before you place an order, LuminPay will give you a reasonable opportunity to review, correct and accept or decline the transaction. The checkout summary will identify the supplier; describe the membership and credits; itemize the price, taxes and other charges; state the total and recurring amounts in Canadian dollars; state timing; explain cancellation, refunds and restrictions; and link to these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

 

You enter the contract only when you deliberately select the final purchase button after completing the required acknowledgement and the payment provider accepts the transaction for processing. A return page alone does not prove payment. Credits and activation occur only after LuminPay verifies the provider s authenticated payment event.

 

We will promptly email or make available in your account a contract receipt that includes your name, contract date, supplier identity and contact information, selected pass, amount paid, taxes, exact renewal date and cadence, cancellation route, material restrictions and the version of the Terms you accepted. Save that receipt.

 

Nothing in these Terms limits a cancellation, refund, disclosure, chargeback or other remedy that applicable consumer law gives you.

 

5.1 Alberta internet-contract rights

 

Where Alberta s Internet Sales Contract Regulation applies, you may have additional cancellation rights if required pre-contract information or the opportunity to correct errors was not provided, if you do not receive a required copy of the contract within the legal period, or if the contracted service is not started by the required date. Depending on the failure, the cancellation period may include seven days after receiving the contract or 30 days after entering it. A valid statutory cancellation may require LuminPay to refund all consideration within 15 days. These rights operate in addition to, and are not narrowed by, LuminPay s ordinary cancellation policy. Contact support or Service Alberta for help with a specific situation.

 

6. Your account and security

 

You are responsible for accurate information and reasonable protection of your sign-in method. Tell us promptly if you believe your account or payment method has been used without authorization. Do not share one-time passwords, authentication links or account access.

 

One person may hold one customer account and receive one introductory offer. We may use privacy-minimized fraud signals to identify duplicate introductory offers. We will not store a card number or raw payment fingerprint for this purpose. If an apparently duplicate attempt is detected, we may pause it for human review or cancel and refund the duplicate introductory charge; we will not silently convert it into an undisclosed full-price purchase.

 

7. Recurring payments and payment processing

 

By purchasing a pass, you authorize LuminPay and its payment processor to charge the payment method you provide for:

 

the $1.00 introductory charge and applicable tax;

 

the selected monthly renewal price and applicable tax beginning on the displayed date; and

 

any separate purchase you later and expressly approve.

 

Stripe currently hosts the card checkout and stores payment credentials. LuminPay is not intended to receive or store your full card number or card security code. Stripe s own terms and privacy notice also apply to its services.

 

If a renewal payment fails, we may provide notice and make reasonable, disclosed retry attempts. We do not issue new monthly credits until payment is verified. We will not add an undisclosed late fee. Existing valid paid credits are not erased merely because a later renewal fails.

 

We may change a future plan price, credit amount or material term only prospectively, with clear advance notice and any express consent required by law. A price increase is never applied retroactively. You may cancel before the change takes effect.

 

8. Credits

 

8.1 What credits are

 

Credits are contractual accounting units used only for eligible services offered through the LuminPay marketplace. For display and redemption administration, one credit currently has a reference value of $12.25 CAD. A credit is not cash, legal tender, a deposit account, a bank product, an investment, insured value or a claim to interest. Credits are personal, non-transferable, not withdrawable and may not be sold, pledged or exchanged for cash except where law requires a refund.

 

8.2 When credits are issued

 

Credits are issued only after LuminPay verifies a successful payment. The introductory payment issues 0.83 credit. Each successful Starter renewal issues 4.00 credits. Each successful Pro renewal issues 8.00 credits. A pending authorization, checkout return page or unverified message does not issue credits.

 

8.3 Expiry and inactivity

 

Under the current policy, credits issued after a verified payment including the 0.83 introductory credit do not expire, and no inactivity fee applies. Cancelling a membership stops future renewals and future monthly credit issuance; it does not erase unused valid credits or transaction history.

 

If LuminPay later offers a genuinely free promotional credit with an expiry or special restriction, the restriction will be clearly disclosed before you accept that promotion, will apply only prospectively and will not change existing paid credits. LuminPay will not silently reclassify a paid credit as promotional.

 

8.4 Booking-request threshold

 

You need at least 20.00 available credits to unlock a treatment booking request. Reaching 20 credits does not guarantee an appointment, clinical suitability, a particular service, a number of units, a clinic price or an outcome. Credits required for a proposed service and any separate clinic charges must be shown before you commit.

 

8.5 Reservation, use and release

 

When you make a booking request, the applicable credits may be reserved so they cannot be used twice. Reserved credits are not consumed merely because you asked for an appointment. They are consumed only after the authorized service outcome is verified under LuminPay s ledger rules. If a clinic declines the request, the request expires, the service is not provided or the clinic cancels, reserved credits will be released unless a different, lawful and separately accepted rule applies.

 

No clinic cancellation, no-show or late-change rule may consume credits unless that exact rule and consequence were shown to you before you confirmed the appointment. A clinical dispute does not authorize LuminPay to rewrite ledger history without evidence and human review.

 

8.6 Corrections, refunds and reversals

 

If a payment is reversed, refunded or successfully disputed, LuminPay may reverse only the unused credits funded by that payment. Reserved or already consumed credits require human review; we will not create a hidden negative balance or silently delete ledger entries. Fraud, duplicate payment and manifest error may be corrected through an auditable adjustment, subject to applicable law.

 

If LuminPay permanently discontinues the consumer marketplace or closes your account without cause, we will provide a reasonable redemption period or refund the amount attributable to unused paid credits, subject to applicable law. Free promotional credits are not cash-refundable unless law requires otherwise.

 

9. Optional Affirm top-up

 

If LuminPay expressly makes it available, an optional $235.00 CAD top-up may add 19.17 credits after Affirm separately approves and captures the transaction. Combined with the 0.83 introductory credit, that would make 20.00 credits. The top-up is not active unless it appears as an approved option in your account.

 

Affirm, not LuminPay, decides credit approval and financing terms. Review Affirm s cost-of-borrowing disclosure, payment schedule, terms and privacy notice before accepting. Membership cancellation does not cancel an Affirm financing agreement. Credits are not issued on an authorization alone; they are issued only after capture is verified. Refunds and adjustments must follow both LuminPay s ledger controls and the applicable Affirm process.

 

10. Booking requests and clinic communication

 

You choose whether to send a booking request to a participating clinic. Before any clinic receives your information, the Platform will identify the clinic, explain the information to be shared and ask for the required authorization.

 

For scheduling, LuminPay may offer a temporary masked telephone connection. If you consent, a Twilio-powered number connects you and the matched clinic for no more than 72 hours from activation. LuminPay does not record audio, create transcripts, analyze voice content or create voiceprints. You may withdraw permission and close the connection sooner. If the masking service is unavailable, we will not silently expose your private number.

 

Do not send diagnosis, photographs, medical records, medication lists, symptoms or other clinical information through general LuminPay support, marketing forms or the masked scheduling connection. Provide clinical information only through a clinic s approved patient process.

 

11. Cancelling your pass

 

You may cancel at any time through Account → Billing → Manage or cancel pass, or by contacting support at hello@charmonix.ca if the self-service route is unavailable. The account must show your next renewal date and provide a cancellation confirmation. Keep the confirmation.

 

Unless law requires a different result, cancellation takes effect at the end of the already-paid billing period and prevents the next renewal. No new monthly credits are issued after cancellation. Your unused valid paid credits remain in your account and do not expire under the current policy. Any existing booking or reserved-credit issue will be resolved under the rule disclosed for that booking.

 

Deleting an account is different from cancelling a subscription. A deletion request does not replace cancellation unless we confirm that it also stopped billing. We retain limited ledger and contract evidence as described in the Privacy Policy even after cancellation or account closure.

 

12. Refunds, payment errors and statutory remedies

 

Except where these Terms, a displayed offer or applicable law provides otherwise, membership and separately approved top-up payments are final after the corresponding credits are issued. This does not limit remedies for an unauthorized or duplicate charge, missing mandatory disclosure, unfair practice, failure to provide the contracted Platform service or another legal right.

 

Contact hello@charmonix.ca promptly with the receipt number and the amount in dispute. Never send a full card number or card security code. Approved refunds return to the original payment method where practicable and trigger the corresponding unused-credit reversal. Provider and bank processing times may apply.

 

Clinical-service refunds, adverse outcomes and patient-care disputes are primarily matters between you and the independent clinic under the clinic s agreement and professional obligations. LuminPay will nevertheless investigate and correct its own payment, booking or credit records when given reliable evidence.

 

13. Service and marketing communications

 

We may send factual messages needed to provide the service you requested, including sign-in codes, receipts, security alerts, renewal and cancellation notices, payment failures, booking status and support replies. These are service messages, not permission to send unrelated advertising.

 

Email and SMS marketing are optional and require a separate consent or another lawful basis. Each commercial electronic message will identify the sender and include a working unsubscribe method. We will process an unsubscribe promptly and no later than the period required by law. Withdrawing marketing consent does not cancel your pass and does not stop necessary service messages.

 

14. Referrals, QR codes and paid relationships

 

LuminPay may use field representatives, ambassadors or referral partners. A person promoting LuminPay may have a paid relationship with us. That relationship must be clearly disclosed. Scanning a LuminPay QR code is free and does not require a purchase.

 

With your optional cookie choice, an opaque referral or campaign identifier may be retained for attribution. Attribution does not change your price. Representatives and ambassadors must not receive your name, contact details, treatment interest, payment status, cancellation reason or clinic information; they receive only limited pseudonymous or aggregated performance information.

 

Any contest or giveaway will be governed by separate Official Rules. No contest is active merely because old or draft material mentions one.

 

15. Privacy and cookies

 

Our Customer Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information. Our Cookie Policy explains cookies, local storage and optional analytics or attribution. Privacy consent, cookie preferences, the required contract acknowledgement and optional marketing consents are separate choices.

 

16. Acceptable use

 

You must not:

 

impersonate another person or misrepresent eligibility, identity, payment authority or referral source;

 

create duplicate accounts or manipulate the introductory offer;

 

sell, transfer, counterfeit, automate, scrape or tamper with credits, QR codes, booking requests, receipts or ledger information;

 

bypass access controls, probe vulnerabilities, upload malicious code or interfere with the Platform;

 

use the Platform to harass a clinic, customer, representative or employee;

 

submit unlawful, deceptive or infringing content; or

 

use the Platform to obtain or provide clinical services outside lawful clinic processes.

 

Reasonable security research must be reported to hello@charmonix.ca and may not involve accessing another person s data, disrupting service or exploiting a vulnerability.

 

17. Suspension and termination

 

We may restrict or suspend access when reasonably necessary to address fraud, security, unlawful use, payment reversal, threat, material breach or legal obligation. Where safe and lawful, we will give notice, explain the general reason and provide a way to seek human review.

 

Suspension does not allow LuminPay to confiscate valid paid credits. We may restrict redemption only to the extent reasonably connected to the investigation or required by law. If we terminate without customer fault, the discontinuance protection in section 8.6 applies.

 

18. Changes to the Platform or these Terms

 

We may improve or change the Platform. We will not retroactively reduce valid paid credits, impose an expiry on existing paid credits or change a completed transaction. If a material change affects recurring price, credit issuance, cancellation, data use or another important right, we will give clear advance notice and obtain express consent where required. The Last updated date and version will change.

 

Your continued use after a non-material change may indicate acceptance only to the extent permitted by law. If you do not accept a material prospective change, you may cancel before it takes effect and retain the rights attached to existing paid credits.

 

19. Intellectual property and feedback

 

LuminPay and its licensors own the Platform, software, branding and content, except for content owned by clinics, providers or users. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable licence to use the Platform for its intended personal purpose while these Terms apply.

 

If you voluntarily send product feedback, you allow us to use it without payment or confidentiality obligation, but this does not transfer ownership of your personal information, medical information, photographs or support content. Public reviews remain yours and may not be contractually prohibited where consumer law protects that right.

 

20. Disclaimers

 

To the extent permitted by law, the Platform is provided on an as available basis. We do not promise uninterrupted availability, a particular clinic, appointment, procedure, number of units, clinical suitability or outcome. Information on the Platform is general marketplace information and not medical advice.

 

These disclaimers do not exclude an express promise in your checkout receipt, our obligation to administer verified payments and credits with reasonable care, or any warranty, condition, right or remedy that law does not allow us to exclude.

 

21. Limits of liability

 

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, wilful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by LuminPay s negligence. Nothing limits your rights under applicable consumer or privacy law.

 

To the extent permitted by law, LuminPay is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss that was not reasonably foreseeable when the contract was formed. For a claim arising solely from LuminPay s Platform service, our aggregate liability will not exceed the greater of $100 CAD and the amount you paid directly to LuminPay during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. This cap does not apply where law prohibits it or to LuminPay s breach of confidentiality, privacy or security obligations where a different remedy is required by law.

 

Clinics remain responsible for their independent clinical acts, omissions and professional obligations. Payment, hosting, communications and financing providers remain responsible under their own terms. This allocation does not excuse LuminPay from responsibility for choosing and overseeing service providers as required by law.

 

22. Disputes and governing law

 

Please contact hello@charmonix.ca first so we can try to resolve a concern promptly. If unresolved, either party may propose mediation. Arbitration is available only if you voluntarily agree after a dispute arises or otherwise choose it in a manner permitted by applicable law.

 

These Terms are governed by the laws of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without depriving you of mandatory rights in your home jurisdiction. Subject to those rights, disputes may be brought in the courts of Alberta. These Terms do not require you to arbitrate, waive a class proceeding or give up access to a court or regulator.

 

You may also contact Service Alberta s Consumer Contact Centre, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, the CRTC or another authority with jurisdiction.

 

23. General terms

 

If a provision is unlawful or unenforceable, it will be limited or severed only to the minimum necessary; the rest remains in effect. A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver. We may assign these Terms as part of a genuine reorganization, financing or sale if the assignee assumes our obligations and your mandatory rights are preserved. You may not transfer your account or credits.

 

The order summary and receipt control the transaction-specific price, renewal date and selected pass. These Terms control general Platform use. A separately accepted booking rule controls that booking only. A clinic s patient agreement controls clinical care. The Privacy Policy governs personal information. Separate Official Rules govern a contest. If there is a conflict, mandatory law prevails.

 

Electronic records and signatures may be used to form and evidence this agreement. You may request an accessible copy from hello@charmonix.ca.
