Lenders Group Discount Plus Card With Pre-Paid Visa Credit/Debit Attachment Partner Terms and conditions
The Lenders Group Discount Plus Card Program with Pre-Paid Visa Credit/Debit attachment ("Program"), is operated by Lenders Group Inc. ("Lenders Group," “Discount Plus,” “Plus,” "us," "our," or "we"). When you enroll in the Program as a Discount Partner, you agree to give percentage discounts, or dollar discounts to our eligible Subscribers from time to time, for products and services provided by you at the locations listed herein. The amount of, or the percentage of the discount you give to our eligible Subscribers is determined by us, from information you supply in this application. We also authorize you to obtain a financial incentive (Plus), which we will make available from time to time and transferred to you by a medium acceptable to us, calculated and approved at our discretion, by a formula approximately equal to a determined percentage of the Canadian Dollar (CDN$) amount received by us, from the interaction fee, paid to us by Scotiabank/Visa, from the pre-paid credit/debit attachment, of the Discount Plus Card Program, to a maximum of CDN$5000, per payment, payable twice per year, per Discount Partner. For international (non-Canadian) Discount Partners, payment will be made using Scotiabank’s prevailing exchange rate, at the time of payment, converted and payable from Canadian Dollars, to your equivalent local currency, unless, at our discretion, payment arrangements can be made for you to receive Canadian Dollars, as allowed by the laws of Canada and your local jurisdiction. The Financial Incentive is calculated and paid to one entity only (one Account), usually the Parent Company, regardless of how many locations are attributable or attached to the parent company. For example, a Parent Company (one Account) with many locations participating in the Program, for calculations and payment purposes, is considered one Company (one entity) and said Parent Company will be paid the Financial Incentive.

PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM
To enroll in the Program, you must be a registered business within your jurisdiction and provide your business GST/HST and other applicable tax numbers at the time of your application. You must provide us with both a valid mailing address and a valid e-mail address.

The Program, including all Discounts, Financial Incentives (Plus), Discount Plus Cards, every certificate or other document which can be exchanged for a Discount, or Financial Incentive ("Certificate") and all rights relating to them, are and will remain our property. You are responsible for all taxes payable as a result of your participation in the Program, including obtaining Financial Incentives. You may not transfer, sell, exchange, give, charge or otherwise dispose of any Discount or Financial Incentive, except in accordance with such conditions as we may prescribe from time to time and upon payment of such fees as we may impose in our discretion from time to time.
You must identify yourself as a Discount Partner when dealing with Subscribers. While similar programs may be offered in other countries, the Program entitles you to give Discounts only to approved Subscribers within prescribed jurisdictions and receive the Financial Incentives only from Lenders Group Inc. in Canada and in Canadian Dollars. You will give Discounts only to authorized, eligible Subscribers in good standing with us, and only after the Subscriber present and use their Discount Plus Card. You are required to check the Card expiry date for validity. We may refuse to record or honour Discounts, or Financial Incentives, or if already recorded, we may cancel and reverse the transactions, if we cannot confirm that they were properly issued or obtained. We may also cancel or reverse recorded Discounts, or Financial Incentives if you do not pay amounts owing to us. Lenders Group will determine the conditions under which Discounts should be issued and may change those conditions at any time. Any dispute that arise between you and Subscribers, must be settled between you and said Subscribers. You have the right to request proof of purchase documentation from the Subscriber, in the case of disputes.

You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your sign-in credentials (PIN or password) for all activities that occur using your PIN or password and for notifying us of any unauthorized use of your PIN or password. We are not responsible or liable in any way for any loss arising from your failure to comply with these provisions.
REDEMPTION OF FINANCIAL INCENTIVE (PLUS)
Approved Discount Partners are also authorized to obtain a financial incentive (Plus), which we will make available from time to time and transferred to the Discount Partner by a medium acceptable to us, calculated and approved at our discretion, by a formula approximately equal to a determined percentage of the Canadian Dollar (CDN$) amount received by us, from the interaction fee, paid to us by Scotiabank/Visa, from the pre-paid credit/debit attachment, of the Discount Plus Card Program, to a maximum of CDN$5000, per payment, payable twice per year, per Discount Partner. For international (non-Canadian) Discount Partners, payment will be made using Scotiabank’s prevailing exchange rate, at the time of payment, converted and payable from Canadian Dollars, to your equivalent local currency, unless, at our discretion, payment arrangements can be made for you to receive Canadian Dollars, as allowed by the laws of Canada and your local jurisdiction. The Financial Incentive is calculated and paid to one entity only (one Account), usually the Parent Company, regardless of how many locations are attributable or attached to the parent company. For example, a Parent Company (one Account) with many locations participating in the Program, for calculations and payment purposes, is considered one Company (one entity) and said Parent Company will be paid the Financial Incentive.
Financial incentives are paid twice yearly (“Payout Period,” “Payout”), specifically, on the 31st/March and 30th/September each year and paid only to approved, Discount Partners in good standing. Eligible Discount Partners can expect to receive their redemption approximately two to three weeks, after the Payout Period.
