description: 'Teranet Inc. is the private operator of Ontario''s Electronic Land Registration System (ELRS) and the POLARIS
  land records database under a long-running concession with the Government of Ontario, and is the exclusive service provider
  for Manitoba''s Land Titles System and Personal Property Registry. Founded in 1991, headquartered in Toronto and wholly
  owned by OMERS, Teranet sits at the base of the Canadian property value chain: it holds the authoritative title, parcel,
  writ and instrument record and resells it as commercial products — Teraview, OnLand, Teranet eXpress, GeoWarehouse, PurView,
  Teranet Xchange, DataConnect/ValueProtect AVM, TeraIntelligence — plus the Teranet-National Bank House Price Index. Its
  API posture is licensed access only. Teranet Connect is genuinely described by Teranet as an API (XML and web services over
  POLARIS and the Writs database), but it is licensed to legal-software vendors through an account manager, with no public
  documentation, no published base URL, no self-serve signup and no developer portal; Teranet''s own support site states plainly
  that GeoWarehouse has no open API. No RESO certification was found — Teranet is a land registry, not an MLS — and the public
  record it stewards is sold back rather than published as open data.'

  contract_discovery: No machine-readable contract exists. OpenAPI/Swagger, GraphQL, MCP, AsyncAPI, WSDL and /.well-known/
    paths were probed against every Teranet host including the API-host-root pattern; every HTTP 200 was a WordPress soft-404
    HTML page. See well-known/teranet-well-known.yml and conformance/teranet-conformance.yml for the full evidence.

  description: Teranet Connect is described by Teranet as an application programming interface providing secure access to
    Ontario's POLARIS land registration database and the Writs database, using XML and web services interfaces with rules-based
    routing. It lets legal document creation and management software vendors embed property search (by name, address or PIN),
    writ search by debtor name, instrument image retrieval and map data into their own applications. Access is licensed commercially
    through a Teranet account manager; no public technical documentation, base URL, sandbox or self-serve signup is published.
