Terms of use and disclaimer

Last updated October 18, 2026

These terms apply to https://www.unlockingthemortgagecode.ca (the "site"), operated by Michael Giligson ("we", "us"). By using the site, you agree to them.

Education, not advice

The calculators, guides and worksheets on this site provide general information for educational purposes only. They are not financial, legal, tax, or mortgage advice, and they don't create an advisor, broker, or client relationship. Your situation is unique. Before making a decision, confirm current figures and rules with your lender, a licensed mortgage professional, a lawyer, or a qualified financial advisor.

Calculators are estimates

Calculator results are estimates based on the information you enter and simplified assumptions, such as a constant interest rate over the full amortization. Actual payments, penalties, insurance premiums, terms, program rules and costs vary by lender and contract, and change over time. Penalty estimates in particular may be much lower than what your lender charges. Always get figures from your lender in writing.

Rules change

Mortgage rules, rates, programs and regulations change. We review content regularly and show when each page was last updated, but we can't guarantee that every page reflects the most current rules at the moment you read it.

Reverse mortgages

Reverse mortgage transactions require independent legal advice. Nothing on this site replaces it.

No warranty and limitation of liability

The site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site or its content.

Links and advertising

The site links to other websites, including retailers selling the book. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or practices. The site may display advertising from third parties such as Google. An advertisement is not an endorsement.

Copyright

The text, calculators, and worksheets on this site are © 2026 Michael Giligson. You may print the worksheets and share links to any page for personal, non-commercial use. Please don't republish the content without permission.

Privacy

How we handle personal information is described in our privacy policy.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada that apply there.
