Ontario compliance
Helpers for MVDA-style disclosure and UCDA-aligned Bill of Sale fields.
Purpose
FlashFender helps Ontario independents organize known regulatory fields — not file on your behalf or certify forms.
What ships
- Known-damage disclosure guards on Active inventory — blocks or warns when damage is flagged without notes
- Bill of Sale seller block from Settings (business name, OMVIC licence, HST)
- We-owe / buyer’s guide / compliance pack exports (Audit & retention)
- AI disclosure draft with mandatory human confirm when Flash AI is on
- Immutable audit trail for who changed disclosure text
Setup
- Enter dealer licence and HST under Settings → Business.
- Train intake staff on known damage checkbox workflow on every trade and purchase.
- Manager sign-off before BOS on any unit with disclosure history.
Daily workflow
- Acquire unit — record known damage at intake.
- Merchandise — embed and window sticker match inventory notes.
- Quote / deal — disclosure refs flow forward; do not strip on discount.
- Close — BOS reflects final disclosure state; archive PDF.
