To register for an Account or to apply or submit an order for a Product or Service, you may be required to provide certain information about yourself (including your legal name, contact information and payment information) and give certain authorizations or instructions. You will ensure that all information you provide to a Canada Drives Company is true, accurate, current and complete, and you will update that information from time to time so that it remains true, accurate, current and complete.

You are and will remain solely responsible and liable for all loss, damage and liability (including additional costs) that you, any Canada Drives Company or any other person may incur as a result of your submission of any false, incorrect or incomplete information, your failure to promptly update your information if it changes, or any other breach of your obligations under this section 7.

08. Personal Information Privacy and Credit Reports

By registering for an Account or applying or submitting an order for a Product or Service, you consent to the collection, use, disclosure and retention of your personal information by or on behalf of the Canada Drives Companies as explained in the Canada Drives Group Privacy Policy (online: https://www.canadadrives.ca/privacy-policy), as revised from time to time, and as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

When you apply or submit an order for certain Products or Services (such as assistance finding a car dealer or a lender) provided by a Canada Drives Company, the Canada Drives Company may obtain, and continue to periodically obtain, your credit score and related information from a credit reporting agency to process or fulfill the transaction, and to update your confidential profile for use by all Canada Drives Companies for purposes as set out in the Canada Drives Group Privacy Policy. When you use the bank account verification system (“Bank Verification System”) from within a Website (the “BVS Website”), the terms and conditions in section 10 apply. The Canada Drives Company may use the Bank Verification System to periodically obtain updated personal information (as described in section 10 (c)) in order to update your confidential profile for use by all Canada Drives Companies for purposes as set out in the Canada Drives Group Privacy Policy.

If a Canada Drives Company refers you to an independent business (e.g. a car dealer, lender or credit card company) for a proposed transaction (e.g. a car purchase, loan or credit card), then: (a) the independent business may request a credit report(s) or bank account information for any legitimate purpose associated with the proposed transaction; and (b) the Canada Drives Company may collect from that independent business information regarding the transaction to update your confidential profile for use by all Canada Drives Companies.

09. Transactions

(a) Misprints/Errors: The Canada Drives Companies endeavour to provide current and accurate information on Websites and in communications relating to your applications and orders for Products and Services, but misprints, errors, inaccuracies, omissions (including incorrect specifications for Products and Services) and other errors may sometimes occur. Each Canada Drives Company reserves the right to correct any misprint, error, inaccuracy or omission at any time without prior notice or liability to you or any other person, and to change at any time Products and Services advertised on Websites, the prices, fees, charges and specifications of those Products and Services, any promotional offers and any other Website content, all without any notice or liability to you or any other person. If you submit an order for a Product or Service for which incorrect information was displayed on a Website, the relevant Canada Drives Company will provide you with a reasonable opportunity to cancel your order.

(b) Availability: Products and Services advertised on a Website may not be available when ordered or any later time. If you order a Product or Service that is not available, the relevant Canada Drives Company will notify you by email. The Canada Drives Companies reserve the right in their discretion to refuse or cancel any order you submit and to limit quantities available for sale or sold.

(c) Delivery Times: Vehicle delivery times advertised on a Website (e.g. same day delivery) and as selected by you in your order may not be available due to various factors (e.g. your location and type of payment for the vehicle). The Canada Drives Companies reserve the right in their discretion to deliver the vehicle you ordered at a time other than as advertised on a Website or the time you selected when you made the order.

(d) Prices: All prices and other amounts appearing on a Website are quoted in Canadian dollars, unless expressly indicated otherwise. The Canada Drives Companies reserve the right to change prices advertised on a Website at any time.

The price, applicable taxes and charges will appear on the completed order, and will be charged to your credit card or other payment method when your order is accepted.

(e) Orders: The advertisements on Websites are invitations to make offers to purchase and are not offers to sell. Your properly completed and delivered application or order constitutes your offer to purchase the Products and Services referenced in the application or order. Your application or order will be deemed accepted by the relevant Canada Drives Company when the relevant Canada Drives Company confirms that your application or order has been accepted.

10. Bank Verification System

(b) Proprietary Rights: You are permitted to use information, data or other materials delivered to you through the Flinks Service only with the BVS Website. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from this information, data, or other materials. Further, you agree not to reverse engineer or reverse compile any of the Flinks Service technology.

(c) Content You Provide: You hereby license Canada Drives Group and Flinks to use any information you provide through or to the Flinks Service (collectively, “Content”). Canada Drives Group and Flinks may use, modify, display, distribute and create new material using such Content to provide and enhance the Flinks Service, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. By submitting Content, you expressly agree, or represent that the owner of such Content has expressly agreed, that Canada Drives Group and Flinks be permitted to use the Content for the purposes set out above, without the payment of any fee by either Canada Drives Group or Flinks. You agree that Canada Drives Group, in accordance to Canada Drives Group Privacy Policy, through the Flinks Service, may collect the following personal information from your financial institution: your name, your address, your email, your date of birth, your bank account information, your transaction history, your credit account information, your loan account information, your investment account information, as well as your login information and security questions and answers. Flinks provides that your login information and security questions and answers shall be encrypted upon collection by Flinks and will be maintained by Flinks for the exclusive purpose of ensuring that your personal information collected through the Service is up to date for use by Canada Drives Group. In addition, Flinks provides that it will not, for any reason, share or otherwise communicate to Canada Drives Group your login information and/or any of your security questions or related answers.

(d) Third Party Accounts: By using the BVS Website and the Flinks Service, you authorize Canada Drives Group and Flinks to access third party sites designated by you, on your behalf, to retrieve information requested by you, and to register for accounts requested by you. For all purposes hereof, you hereby grant Canada Drives Group and Flinks a limited power of attorney, and you hereby appoint Canada Drives Group and Flinks as your true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, for you and in your name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to access third party Internet sites, servers or documents, retrieve information, and use your information, all as described above, with the full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done in connection with such activities, as fully to all intents and purposes as you might or could do in person, as required to provide you the Flinks Service.
