Welcome to CAA.

Welcome to CAA South Central Ontario (“CAA SCO”). For over 115 years, the Canadian Automobile Association (“CAA”) has been helping Canadians stay mobile, safe and protected. We are Canada’s largest not-for-profit automobile association with over two million Members in South Central Ontario. We are also a strong advocate and voice for our Members on issues such as traffic safety, mobility, infrastructure and consumer protection.

These Membership Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your membership with CAA South Central Ontario (“CAA SCO”, “we”, “our”, “us”). CAA SCO is the operating name of CAA Club Group in the province of Ontario. Purchase or use of any CAA SCO Membership ("Membership") at any time subjects the purchaser and/ or user ("you," "your," "yours,” “their,” "Member") to the provisions of the Terms, as amended from time to time. This is not an automobile liability insurance contract.

CAA SCO operates as a CAA Club within a specific geographic territory that is designated by the Canadian Automobile Association. Please note that different terms and conditions (including Member benefits) may apply in different auto club territories.

By using any of our CAA Member services or benefits, you are agreeing to these Membership Terms & Conditions.

We reserve the right to make exceptions to our service eligibility terms and conditions that may grant greater rights than stated in this document.

If you do not agree with our Membership Terms & Conditions, please contact us immediately for membership cancellation assistance.

Terms are subject to change. In the event of any significant changes, these terms will be updated at caasco.com/membership or caasco.com/terms

Section 1.
Membership Accounts, Eligibility and Rules

Membership:

Members who meet the eligibility requirements and who are fully paid up on their Membership Account are entitled to Member benefits, as applicable. Membership is subject to our approval and acceptance.

Upon enrollment, CAA will mail out a Membership welcome package and Membership cards. Members will receive this within 7-1 2 business days. Replacement cards are sent out every three years.

Membership Types:

These Membership Terms and Conditions apply to the following CAA SCO Membership types:

• Everyday
• Basic
• Plus
• Plus RV
• Corporate
• Premier
• Premier RV

Your Member benefits and available services may vary depending on your membership type. Not all Membership Benefits are available immediately. For immediate activation of benefits, such as roadside assistance, an additional fee will apply. All other roadside benefits become active 48-hours after joining. When an existing Member upgrades to a higher level of membership, the 48-hour wait period applies to utilize the enhanced benefits. An additional same-day service fee of $25 will apply to waive the 48-hour wait period for immediate roadside assistance. For immediate activation, the same-day service fee of $25 will be added to the prorated upgrade fee. The upgrade fee will vary depending on membership level. The only instance when a Member will not be required to pay a same-day service fee is if an Associate Member is added to the Membership Account.

Membership Term/tenure:

The Membership Account is valid for one (1) year following the date of activation by the initial Primary Member (the “membership year”). However, any event of default (including payment default) or suspension of membership may alter the anniversary date of the membership account, may affect the account’s tenure at CAA, and may result in forfeiture of accrued CAA Dollars^® or other Member benefits.

• Membership may not be paused for any reason including being out of country or illness.

If payment is not received three months after the renewal/ expiry date, the membership will be cancelled and tenure will be lost. If Member rejoins, they will be classified as a brand-new Member.

Primary Members and Associate Members:

• A CAA Membership account must have one (1) Primary Member, who may designate additional Members (“Associate Members”) to the Account at any time, by paying additional membership dues according to the Associate Membership type. There cannot be more than one (1) Primary Member designated to the membership account at a time.
• All Members must reside in the same household, and the household must be situated within CAA SCO’s designated club territory.
• The Primary Member is the main membership point of contact for all Members assigned to the Membership Account.
• An Associate Member can be any age, provided that: (1) the Primary Member must have the consent of the Associate Member’s parent or legal guardian, when applicable, to be added to the Account; and (2) the Primary Member must agree to be contractually bound by these Membership Terms and Conditions on behalf of the Associate Member.
• The Primary Member is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of information for all household CAA Members. Only the Primary Member is authorized to:

• A Primary Member is personally invoiced and is personally responsible to pay for the annual membership dues of all Members designated to the Membership Account. However, certain additional service charges and fees payable for roadside assistance and other Member services must be paid for by the Member that requested the service, at the time of service. note: if a recurring Donor has been assigned to the Membership Account, the recurring Donor will be invoiced for the annual Membership dues. The Primary Member is responsible for advising all the Members on the account to review the Membership Terms and Conditions.
• The Primary Member is the default beneficiary of any accrued CAA Dollars^®, even if earned by the Associate Member(s). CAA Dollars^® earned in a household by Associate Members are not transferable between households unless the entire household is moving.
• Each CAA SCO Member is prohibited from having more than one active CAA Membership account at any given time, and across all CAA Clubs that form part of the federation of the Canadian Automobile Association.

Refunds will not be provided where services have been used on a duplicate account.

• Your name and address.
• The location of the disabled vehicle.
• The vehicle's make, model, year, colour and licence plate number.

Upon expiry, non-renewal or cancellation of membership, all accrued CAA Dollars^® and credits will be revoked without refund or compensation.

The terms, conditions, services, benefits, prices, policies and procedures of your CAA Membership are subject to change at any time. These terms will be updated at caasco.com/membership or caasco.com/terms.If after reviewing any change to the terms of your membership, you do not accept the new terms or do not wish to renew your membership, you may terminate your membership as of when the change takes effect.

• Your membership will lapse.
• You will not be entitled to Member services or Member benefits.
• You will forfeit your CAA Dollars^® balance.
• You will forfeit any benefits linked to your membership tenure.
• Based on the information we have on file, we will send you a renewal notice to pay your membership dues approximately 30 days prior to the end of your annual billing cycle (except Gift Membership recipients with a recurring donor). Prompt renewal of your membership ensures there is no interruption in service.
• Any credits or CAA Dollars^® available on your account at renewal will automatically be applied to your renewal unless CAA SCO is advised of your request to opt out prior to your membership renewal date. Once opted out, CAA SCO must be informed if you wish to opt back in.
• Please ensure you review your membership renewal notice for accuracy. If any changes are required, it is the Member’s responsibility to notify CAA SCO prior to the renewal date.

Automatic Renewal Program:

When you enroll in Automatic Renewal for the first time, CAA SCO may give you a discount against a pending or future transaction.

If you are a participant in Automatic Renewal, your membership dues will be automatically charged to your designated pre-authorized credit card on file with CAA SCO. Based on the terms and conditions of your credit card issuer, it is probable that your financial institution will provide us with updated credit card information independent of you. You will receive an annual renewal notice approximately 30 days prior to your renewal/ expiry date, which will inform you of the date your pre-authorized credit card will be charged. If we do not receive any alternative instructions from you, we will process your membership renewal(s) by charging the credit card that is registered to your account.

If you are enrolled in Automatic Renewal and would like to terminate your membership, you must provide us with reasonable notice before your membership renewal/expiry date(s).

Additional Charges:

If any payment to CAA SCO or its service provider(s) is reversed, returned by your financial institution due to non- sufficient funds (NSF), or declined for any other reason, we will contact you to collect payment and/ or update your payment information. All membership benefits will be unavailable until payment is made in full. Additionally, you may be charged an administrative fee of $25 per occurrence, including any disputed charge that is determined to have been validly applied to your account. CAA SCO reserves the right of set-off for any outstanding debts owing to CAA SCO or to its service provider(s).

Native Status Tax Exemption:

Members requesting a partial tax exemption (PST) must provide, in person, a copy of their valid native status card at one of our CAA Stores each year in order for a partial tax exemption to apply. If you are unable to attend a CAA Store in person, tax will be included on the renewal statement and you can claim the tax exemption through the Ontario Ministry of Finance.

Purchasing Membership as a Gift:

The rights, obligations and distinctions of a One-time Gift Membership Donor vs. a Recurring Gift Membership Donor:

Gift Vouchers (have a 12-month expiry and 48-hour wait period, etc.).

• Customers cannot purchase voucher for pre-existing memberships or themselves.

Please note: if a RENEWING Donor has been assigned to the Membership Account, the Donor will be invoiced for the annual membership dues.

A one-time donor is not billed annually. They are only responsible for the initial payment of the membership.

Note: In the interest of protecting each Member's privacy, CAA SCO requires authorization from the recipient in order to discuss service call details with the purchaser/donor, another Member, or individual.

Money-back Guarantee:

CAA SCO membership dues are refundable up to 30 days after the payment has been processed by CAA SCO. The amount of the refund will be prorated and based on your household’s most recent membership(s) payment to CAA SCO, minus any outstanding costs associated with CAA SCO services provided to you or your Associate Members (including any additional charges as outlined above) up to the date of cancellation.

For any Deceased Member Cancellations: An executor of the Member’s estate must provide all pertinent documentation i.e., Death Certificate & Executorship or Power of Attorney paperwork to membership@caasco.ca before any updates may be processed.

CAA SCO will not refund your membership after 30 days of receiving payment. Prorated refunds under $10 will not be processed. A cancellation request can be made by calling us at 1-800-268-3750 Monday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST or by visiting your local CAA Store.

Section 2
Membership Coverage and Roadside Assistance Services

A. BENEFITS FOR ALL MEMBERS (FOR EVERYDAY, BASIC, PLUS AND PREMIER MEMBERS):

Bike Assist^®:

CAA provides Bike Assist – roadside assistance for your bicycle. Bike Assist covers motorized bicycles (ebikes), however two-wheeled scooters and mopeds are only covered under Plus and Premier Memberships.

If your bike becomes disabled and at CAA SCO or the service provider’s discretion cannot be repaired on the spot (i.e., if you do not have a spare tire and/or repair kit) CAA SCO will arrange to transport you and your bicycle, subject to the towing limits based on your membership type. Bike Assist counts as one (1) of your allotted roadside calls during your membership year. Service will be provided to cyclists where there is permitted vehicle access and based on seasonal availability.

Service Providers:

Roadside assistance service providers are independent contractors and are not employees of CAA SCO. CAA SCO will not assume responsibility for property damage, personal injuries, losses or inconveniences caused by the service provider.

Service providers may offer to deliver services outside of what the Membership provides for an additional fee, determined by the service provider.

Liability and Damage Claims:

CAA SCO and its service providers each reserve the right to contact the police or local authorities upon suspicion of impaired driving or any other threat to the safety of person or property.

As a Member of CAA SCO, you hereby understand and agree that unless the loss relates to the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of CAA SCO, CAA SCO’s maximum liability to you, your passengers or any third parties affected shall be a reimbursement of any membership dues paid by you in the 12-month period immediately preceding the loss.

Members must report to CAA SCO any concerns regarding their vehicle within 24 hours of the initial service request. After this time any liability is limited to the cost of membership dues paid within the 12-month period immediately preceding the concern.

In some cases, such as service to a vehicle with pre-existing damage, the service provider may ask you to sign a waiver which identifies pre-existing damage prior to providing service. The service provider may refuse service if the waiver is not signed. The service provider may also take photos of the vehicle for the purposes of documenting any pre-existing damage, reasons service was denied, results of a battery test, etc. All photos are strictly confidential and used solely for purposes in connection with CAA roadside services.

Certain types of North American and foreign-made cars (especially those with fiberglass bodies) and vehicles with owner-made modifications are difficult to provide certain roadside services to without causing damage. In such cases, you and/or the registered owner of the vehicle may be asked to sign a release/waiver of liability assuming responsibility for any damage that may occur during service. The service provider may refuse service if the waiver is not signed.

For vehicle damage or concerns during service, Members must contact CAA SCO directly to report any damage or concerns regarding their vehicle within 24 hours of the initial service request and before any necessary repairs are carried out. Members should also document the damage. A failure to report within 24 hours will result in a denial of your claim.

CAA SCO and our service providers reserve the right to physically inspect and assess any damage claims. The service provider and/or CAA SCO must be permitted – within 72 hours after the incident report is forwarded to the service provider for further investigation – to physically inspect the vehicle damage and its equipment in order to determine liability. The Member should not make any repairs to the vehicle or remove evidence of the damage. In the event that you do not permit service provider and/or CAA SCO to physically inspect the damage within the 72 hours, or if repairs are completed prior to the completion of such an inspection, your claim will be denied.

While assessing a damage claim, CAA SCO may require you and/or the registered owner of the vehicle to provide further information to assist with resolving your claim. Please be prepared to provide documentation that supports your claim. Where such documentation has been requested and is not produced within 72 hours, your claim will be denied.

In the event that a service provider and/or CAA SCO commits to repair or replace any damaged vehicle parts, both the service provider and CAA SCO reserve the right to approve repairs or use replacement parts of a similar kind or quality. In the event that CAA SCO denies your claim in whole or in part, CAA SCO will promptly inform you in writing outlining the reasons for the denial.

The service provider and/or CAA SCO will not pay for vehicle damage repair costs that exceed the actual cash value of your vehicle at the time the damages were incurred. In this case, you may be asked to file your claim with your insurance company.

CAA SCO assumes no liability if you engage in fraudulent or unauthorized use of the services or engage in illegal behaviour.

CAA SCO, including our service providers, is not liable for any loss, damage or expense relating to unattended tows under any circumstances.

CAA SCO, including our service providers, is not liable for any loss, damage or expense where a vehicle has been involved in an accident, or where a vehicle must be extricated/winched from an off-road position.

CAA SCO and our service providers seek to deliver service expeditiously, however CAA SCO, including our service providers, is not liable for any loss or expense resulting from the length of time between service request and service delivery, nor service cancellations and delays.

CAA does not have supervision or control over the operation or management of service providers and vehicle repair facilities. In the event of a dispute arising between a Member and the service provider, CAA SCO may appoint an arbitrator whose ruling shall be final and binding on both parties.

Extreme Weather Conditions:

During extreme weather conditions, CAA SCO responds to calls on a priority basis, providing service first to those Members whose vehicles are blocking roadways or posing a threat to personal or public safety. Under severe conditions, we reserve the right to delay service to Members whose vehicles are in a place of safety. Your patience and understanding under these circumstances is appreciated.

CAA Everyday Memberships do not include any motor vehicle emergency roadside assistance. Please skip over Section 2(B) if you are a CAA Everyday Member.

B. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE BENEFITS (FOR BASIC, PLUS, CORPORATE AND PREMIER MEMBERS ONLY):

Basic, Plus, Corporate and Premier Members in good standing are entitled to receive a certain number of roadside assistance service calls per membership year. Service calls cannot be shared or carried over to the next membership year. Each service (air, gas, tow, boost, etc.) counts as one (1) service call provided within your selected membership year’s allotment (except for relay and select battery service calls). Once the number of service calls has been exceeded, CAA SCO will continue to facilitate the roadside assistance services described above. However, any services in excess of the roadside assistance “maximums” will be subject to service provider fees that will be due at the time of service. For all membership types, any service calls not covered by membership must be paid for by the requesting Member at the time of service. Service providers may ask for proof of insurance, ownership and photo identification.

If the driver arrives on location for the service call and the Member is not on location with the vehicle, or does not have proper photo identification, proper documentation (ownership & insurance), the service call will count as (1) one used service call. The driver will wait for 10 minutes and then will clear the call and leave.

Our number one priority is safety. We ask for your understanding as calls are prioritized based on our Members’ safety and not necessarily on time of service request. There may be situations, for example during periods of extreme weather, where the safety of other Members may need to be prioritized and service may be delayed if you are in a safe location. Benefits and services are subject to change without notice.

Your CAA SCO membership includes the following roadside assistance services, subject to additional fees, if applicable. Some services listed below may only be available within certain CAA SCO geographical areas. All roadside assistance services are subject to the Limitation of Liability set out in (Section 2 (A)) “Liability and Damage Claims”.

*If you request a tow further than 100 kilometres in a direction away from your place of residence, CAA SCO reserves the right to review the call and contact you to advise you of your options, including selecting a closer garage.

Battery Service:

Upon purchase of a CAA Premium Battery, service providers will deliver, install and recycle your old battery at no extra cost. Please note: you may choose to keep your old battery for an additional cost that must be paid for by the requesting Member at the time of service. Battery services may not be available in your area. Battery service is subject to vehicle type and may not be available for your vehicle.

This will count as one (1) service call unless a new battery is purchased at the time of the call. However, an unsuccessful battery service that results in a towing service call will count as a single service call.

Battery service is subject to vehicle type and may not be available for your vehicle. For full guidelines on vehicles eligible for battery service, please visit caasco.com/battery

CAA SCO and service providers may refuse to provide certain battery service if it is deemed unsafe (in CAA SCO or service provider’s sole discretion), when installation cannot be performed at the roadside, or if the battery is under warranty.

Battery Warranty & Exclusions:

Battery removal by Member or anyone that is not a designated CAA approved contractor will void the warranty and your claim will be denied.

For failed battery claims, CAA SCO will require a failed battery test result before a battery replacement may be authorized. You may be required to have a licensed mechanic run further testing on the health of your vehicle. This will involve the vehicles charging and starting system to determine if the battery is the cause of the issue.

Battery warranty does not apply in the following cases: a) the battery is merely discharged and still serviceable; b) the container, covers, or terminals are broken; c) the battery has been frozen or damaged due to neglect or abuse; d) the battery is damaged due to over or undercharging; e) the battery fails because of fire, collision, wreckage or explosion or because of a faulty electrical system; f) a battery is used in applications for which it was not designed, or is installed or charged in reverse polarity; or, g) the vehicle has not been driven for more than 90 days.

For full details on battery warranty & exclusions, please visit: caasco.ca/battery

For an accurate quote, Member’s need to know their vehicle year, make, model and engine size.

Payment is made through the driver after completion of the battery service. A transaction receipt and copy of the warranty information will be emailed to you through the driver.

Warranty for the battery is six years. The first three years are covered 100% subject to exclusions, and the following three years are a pro-rated guarantee.

Lockout/Locksmith Service:

If your keys are locked in the vehicle, CAA SCO will send a service provider to attempt to gain entry. If your ignition key is lost or broken, CAA SCO will reimburse up to $50 CAD for a locksmith service for Basic Members and up to $100 CAD for all other membership levels. Claim must be received within 30 days of incident. Reimbursement will count as one (1) service call. In cases where the locked vehicle cannot be made operable, towing services will be provided subject to the Member’s towing coverage. Locksmith service refund is comprised of ignition work and/or the making of one ignition key, but extra charges may apply to the Member. Please note: the registered owner must be present while the vehicle is being serviced by a locksmith. This will count as one (1) service call. An unsuccessful locksmith service that results in a towing service call will count as one (1) service call.

Unlocking anti-theft devices, RVs (Recreational Vehicles) or Utility Trailers are not covered under our locksmith service.

Ownership of your vehicle must be provided to the driver to obtain service. Lockout services only pertain to vehicles. We do not unlock residences.

Emergency Gas Delivery:

When you run out of gas, a limited supply of gasoline will be delivered to your disabled vehicle to enable you to reach the nearest open service station, or in accordance with your roadside assistance towing service provisions, a tow will be provided to a facility where fuel is available. Specific brands or octane ratings cannot be promised. We will deliver gas, but not diesel or propane. Basic Members will be charged the current pump price for the gasoline. For Plus, Corporate and Premier Members, there is no charge for the gas. Emergency Gas Delivery counts as one (1) service call.

Flat Tire Service:

If you get a flat tire, your vehicle’s spare tire will be installed, as long as the spare tire is inflated and serviceable. Before calling CAA SCO, please ensure that any specialty key to remove the lug nuts is available. Service does not include repairs, additional trips to deliver a repaired tire, installationor removal of tire chains, mounting, dismounting or shifting of tires and seasonal tire change-overs. To avoid damage, certain vehicles will require a tow to a repair shop/ garage within the limits of your membership as proper installation requires that the wheel lug torque be set to the recommended specification for your vehicle. In the event that the service cannot be rendered safely due to poor conditions or maintenance of the spare tire, the service provider reserves the option of towing the vehicle to safety to avoid possible damage. Flat Tire Service counts as one (1) service call.

Seasonal Mobile Tire Change Service:

Your CAA SCO Membership offers convenient, at-home seasonal tire changes in select areas performed by expert technicians for an additional service fee plus tax. Service fee varies by CAA Membership level and will be processed by the technician at the end of the appointment. Member must book an appointment during tire change season (when the Mobile Tire Change service is offered) and must remain onsite for the duration of the service.

This service is only available on residential driveways and there must be adequate space for the technician to work safely. Your driveway must be clear of debris, ice and/ or snow

Seasonal Mobile Tire Change service can only be performed on cars, SUVs and trucks up to ¾-ton. We cannot service commercial vehicles, trailers, RVs or campers. Your tires must be mounted on rims and be easily accessible to the technician.

For multi-vehicle discount offer, there is a maximum of two tire swap services per household per day. The appointment bookings must be back-to-back sessions. One $20 discount per membership.

CAA SCO recommends retorquing your wheels within 100- 150 km following the Mobile Tire Change service. CAA SCO reserves the right to refuse service in the event a vehicle or its tires are in a condition that the technician, in their sole discretion, deems unsafe or against ministry standards.

For full details on seasonal Mobile Tire Change service & exclusions, please visit: caasco.com/auto/mobile-tirechange

Extrication Service:

Your vehicle will be extricated when (in CAA SCO or the service provider’s sole determination) it can be safely reached from a normally travelled or established thoroughfare or road. If special equipment, additional personnel or vehicles are required, the associated costs may be at your expense. Plus, Corporate and Premier Members are automatically covered for an additional service vehicle and service provider for up to one hour of extrication service at the scene. The service vehicle must have clear and safe access to the disabled vehicle; for example, service cannot be rendered in limited access areas such as plowedin, snowbound or ice-covered areas. Please note:, the membership does not include vehicle recovery service.

Towing Service:

Towing Service will be provided if attempts to make your vehicle safely operable at the roadside have been unsuccessful. Flatbeds or dollies will be used when required. Membership includes towing mileage based on your membership type. A charge of up to $4.50 plus tax per kilometre will be applied by the service facility to any additional mileage that exceeds your coverage. Service wait times can increase if special towing equipment, which includes flatbeds, is required. Towing equipment is dispatched in accordance with manufacturer specifications. Special requests, including a request for a flatbed when not required, may be available for an additional fee. Service providers will take the most efficient route from pick up location to tow destination.

The most efficient route is not necessarily the shortest route. In cases where the most efficient route results in kilometre overages, Members are responsible to pay overage charges for actual kilometres travelled.

All personal belongings are to be removed from your vehicle before the driver tows your vehicle.

CAA SCO will tow your vehicle to a repair shop/garage within the limits of your membership. Tows outside of such limits must be expressly pre-authorized by CAA SCO, acting in its sole discretion.

Motorcycles:

Non-CAA Provider Services:

If you have contacted CAA SCO to obtain roadside assistance and CAA SCO service is not available at the time of your request, CAA SCO may authorize you to obtain your own towing service, pay for it and submit the original invoice (please save a copy for your records) to CAA SCO within 30 days for reimbursement consideration. Reimbursement for non-CAA provider services will count as one (1) service call.

Additionally, all receipts submitted will be reviewed for legitimacy. Any receipts determined to be invalid (in CAA SCO's sole discretion) will result in denial of reimbursement and immediate membership termination.

Reimbursements will be calculated at a "fair rate," which will be determined by:

• Regulated municipalities – rates posted by the servicer within the municipality
• Non-regulated municipalities – average of posted rates within regulated municipalities.

Members are required to request the rate card from the tow truck driver prior to accepting service and ensure that the rates invoiced match with the rate card. There are often rate cards printed on the invoice; CAA SCO will not reimburse at a higher rate than that which is printed on the invoice under any circumstances.

CAA SCO may require you and/or the registered owner of the vehicle to provide further information when assessing a reimbursement claim. Please be prepared to provide:

• Police incident number/copy of police report (for police ordered tows).
• Copy of your driver’s licence.
• Proof of payment for service (cashed cheque, bank statement indicating cash withdrawal, credit card statement or credit card receipt).
• Original receipts for repairs.
• Insurance policy information including insurer, insured, policy number and, effective dates.
• Vehicle ownership information

When extra information has been requested and is not provided within seven (7) days, the claim will be denied.

CAA SCO reserves the right to request a Member to pursue their automobile insurer for expenses relating to damage and accident claims. Alternatively, we may request the Member’s automobile insurer details in order to subrogate the claim. Payment may be withheld until the automobile insurers’ details are provided.

Every effort will be made to issue refunds and reimbursements within a reasonable time frame (usually within 30 days). CAA SCO is not liable for any expenses, including but not limited to, accrued interest, surcharges or administration fees for refunds or reimbursement.

CAA SCO reserves the right to deny claims where CAA SCO was not contacted to arrange service, and/or we did not give direction to a Member to arrange their own service. Any claims paid in these circumstances will be subject to a maximum limit of $300 CAD regardless of any other circumstances.

Reimbursement cheques will be mailed to the Member’s address we have on file.

Section 3
Member Rewards

CAA Rewards^®:

CAA SCO may change these Terms and Conditions and/ or any aspect of CAA Rewards without notice. CAA SCO may add, delete or change CAA Rewards partners, modify any offers provided by CAA Rewards partners or the accumulation or redemption details regarding CAA Dollars. Once the partner’s reward points are transferred to CAA and converted to CAA Dollars, we are unable to reverse this transaction. If you default on your CAA Membership, become bankrupt, commit fraud, misrepresent any information, abuse the privileges granted to you under CAA Rewards or act in any other way to the detriment of CAA SCO or CAA Rewards partners, we may, without affecting our other rights, disclose such information requested by proper authorities, terminate your CAA Membership and/or cancel the CAA Dollars in your account.

CAA Dollars:

To earn and redeem CAA Dollars, you must be a current CAA Member in good standing (CAA Membership dues paid in full by membership renewal date). CAA Dollars cannot be converted into currency at any time and cannot be used to purchase CAA Batteries. If there is a lapse in your membership, you will forfeit any accumulated CAA Dollars. Your CAA Dollars will be automatically redeemed towards your CAA Membership renewal dues, unless you have opted out, and be reflected on your renewal notice generated approximately 30 days prior to the end of your annual billing cycle. Any changes in your CAA Dollars balance, within 24 hours of renewal (positive or negative) occurring after you have been billed will be reflected on your account balance when calculating your renewal charge. CAA Dollars may be redeemed against your CAA Insurance renewal premium. Redemption is applicable once your CAA Insurance Company auto and/or property policy has been renewed and your payments are up to date. Applying CAA Dollars to your first CAA policy term is exempt from the program. Redemption amount must be greater than five (5) CAA Dollars and less than or equal to the total policy premium for the renewal term.

CAA Dollars earned through our CAA Rewards program are applied as a credit to reduce annual renewal, upgrades or adjustments to your membership. CAA Dollars are not considered as a discount, but as a form of a credit and are applied after dues and applicable taxes.

This credit then reduces the amount payable by the Member for any CAA Membership renewals or changes which may result in payment. Using CAA Dollars as a credit allows us to reduce the amount owing after tax.

CAA Dollars remain the property of CAA and if there is a lapse in your membership, you will forfeit any accumulated CAA Dollars.

CAA Dollars earned from our CAA Reward partners will be uploaded onto your account within 90 days of your purchase.
