Constitution §2 principle 11: Pricing must be simple and honest. The Pricing Transparency Policy operationalizes that: visible prices, no hidden fees, plain-language explanations of Mission Funds contributions, no dark-pattern pricing tactics, and a published change log when prices move.
It applies to Map.ca’s product and commercial teams, partners offering paid surfaces on Map.ca, and any team that touches a paid flow.
Requirements
- Show the full price before the purchase step.
- Explain Mission Funds contributions in plain language.
Prohibitions
- Do not add hidden fees at checkout.
- Do not use dark patterns to obscure cost.
