CIBC OXFORD PROPERTIES PREPAID VISA* CARD AGREEMENT

1. INTRODUCTION
a. This Agreement applies to your CIBC Oxford Properties Prepaid Visa Card offered through TCA Group of Companies Inc. Using, loading a balance on or activating a Card means that you have received, understood and agreed to this Agreement. Your Card is a prepaid, stored value card that is limited in use to the balance prepaid on the Card and can only be used at participating merchants at Oxford Properties retail locations, where Visa* is accepted. When you make a Transaction, the value of the Transaction will be deducted from your Card balance.

b. Your Card, your Card balance or any other record relating to the Card:

• is not a deposit with us or connected in any way with a bank account with us.

• does not earn interest.

• cannot be directly converted to cash.

• is not insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation.

c. The Terms and Conditions form part of this Agreement.

2. YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
a. Authorized Transactions. You may use your Card to make Transactions, as long as we permit you to do so and you comply with this Agreement. The Terms and Conditions set out the types of Transactions permitted for your Card. Transactions are authorized if you indicate acceptance of the Transaction through any means acceptable to CIBC.

b. Safeguarding your Card. You will keep your Card safe. This means that at a minimum you will:

• always keep your Card in your possession.

• take reasonable steps to protect your Card from loss, theft or misuse.

• not allow any other person to use your Card.

• immediately notify TCA of unauthorized Transactions, if your Card or Card Details are lost or stolen.

c. Reviewing Transactions. You must check your balance and Transactions regularly. If you disagree with a Transaction for any reason, you must notify TCA Group of Companies Inc. by calling the number on your Card within thirty days of it being posted. If you do not, we may regard the Transaction as final.

d. Return of Cards. You must return or destroy your Card if we or TCA Group of Companies Inc. asks you to.

e. Prohibited Use of Card. Your Card can only be used by you and not by or for the benefit of a third party. We may block transactions that we can identify as internet gambling or other cash-like transactions. In addition, you must not use your Card:

• for any fraudulent or illegal purpose, including the purchase of any goods or services prohibited by applicable local law.

• after the Card’s expiry date.

3. YOUR LIABILITY
a. You are responsible for all Transactions and any resulting losses incurred that:

• you authorize (including if you make an entry error).

• result from fraudulent or worthless loads to your Card.

• occur after you allow another person to use the Card, even if the person was a minor or did not comply with any limitations you placed on his or her use.

We are not responsible if any Card or Card Details are lost, stolen or used without your permission, including for any unauthorized Transactions.

b. You must co-operate fully in any investigation with respect to any loss and we may take whatever steps we consider necessary to recover your lost or stolen Card.

c. Your Card can only be used if the balance on your Card is sufficient to cover your Transaction. Otherwise, the Transaction will be declined. However, if due to a systems malfunction or for any other reason a Transaction occurs despite there being an insufficient balance on your Card, you will owe us the amount above the Card balance and you agree to reimburse us for that amount within 30 days.

4. MERCHANT REFUNDS AND DISPUTES WITH MERCHANTS
a. If you authorized a Transaction, you must settle any dispute or claims directly with the merchant. If you are entitled to a refund for any reason, you agree to accept the refund policy of the specific merchant with whom the original purchase was made.

b. We will not be liable if a merchant or other service provider does not give you a credit, imposes any additional charges, charges a different price for purchases with your Card versus other payment types, will not accept your Card or takes any other action.

c. Debits and credits for Transactions(s) may not be processed on or effective the same day as the purchase or return/adjustment.

5. CANCELLING OR SUSPENDING YOUR CARD
a. If you do not comply with this Agreement or we determine you are using your Card for a fraudulent purpose, we may suspend or cancel your ability to use your Card. We may also take any steps permitted by law to enforce our rights under this Agreement without prior notice to you and you will pay all legal fees and expenses incurred.

6. CHANGES
a. We may propose to change any of the terms of this Agreement, either permanently or temporarily, (including any fee(s) or amounts required to be paid by you, Card features and/or any other items mentioned in the Terms and Conditions) or replace this Agreement with another agreement, at any time. We will give you written notice of a proposed change and any other information required by law, at least 30 days before the change stated to come into effect in the notice. We may provide that notice electronically, or by posting a notice in CIBC branches, or by posting a notice on the website listed on the back of your Card or by mail. If by mail, then we will use the most recent mailing address you provided to us. You may refuse the change by terminating this Agreement and closing your Card without cost, penalty or cancellation indemnity by notifying us within 30 days of the effective date of the change.

b. You will promptly advise TCA Group of Companies Inc. of any changes to your personal information.

7. TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT
a. We may terminate or suspend this Agreement or your Card at any time without notifying you in advance if we suspect your Card is being used fraudulently or for any other reason. If this Agreement or use of your Card is terminated or suspended, you will continue to be liable for your obligations under this Agreement.

8. MISCELLANEOUS
a. Our Liability. If you cannot use your Card for any reason, we are not liable whether the reason was within our control or not. You understand and agree that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and in addition to those limitations on CIBC’s liability set out elsewhere in this Agreement, we are liable to you only for direct damages resulting from our gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct arising directly from our performance of our obligations under this Agreement; we will not be liable to you for any other direct damages. In addition, we will not under any circumstances be liable to you for any other damages, including, without limitation, indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential losses or damages, loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of business opportunities, or any other foreseeable or unforeseeable loss resulting directly or indirectly out of this Agreement or the services provided to you, even if we were advised of the possibility of damages or were negligent. These limitations apply to any act or omission of CIBC, its affiliates, agents or suppliers, whether or not the act or omission would otherwise give rise to a cause of action in contract, tort, statute or any other doctrine of law. Gross negligence in this paragraph means conduct (whether through action or inaction, or through words or silence) which is (i) a marked and flagrant departure from the conduct ordinarily expected of a reasonable and prudent person in the position of CIBC, or (ii) so wanton and reckless as to constitute an utter disregard for harmful, foreseeable and avoidable consequences.

b. Errors. We may unilaterally correct any errors without notice to you.

c. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with Canadian law and the laws of the province or territory in which the Card is issued. You agree to submit to and be bound by these laws and the courts of that province or territory in the event of any disputes arising in connection with your Card or this Agreement.

d. Interpretation. When used in this Agreement, the term “including” means “including, but not limited to.” The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of the rest of the Agreement. When we refer to this Agreement or other agreements or documents, we are referring to this Agreement and those other agreements or documents as they may be amended, replaced or supplemented from time to time.

e. Severability and Waiver. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. Our failure to exercise or delay in exercising any rights does not waive any default or prevent us from enforcing those rights later.

f. Survival. Any provision of this Agreement relating to your responsibilities and liabilities or our rights and liabilities will survive termination of the Agreement.

g. Limitation Periods. Where permitted by provincial or territorial law, the limitation period for this Agreement is extended to six years.

h. Assignment. We may at any time, without notifying you, assign our rights and obligations under this Agreement to any assignee, who will be entitled to all of our rights and will be responsible for our obligations under this Agreement to the extent they are assigned by us.

i. For Quebec Only. The parties confirm that it is their express wish that this agreement and documents related thereto be drawn up in English. For an agreement entered into on or after June 1, 2023, the parties acknowledge that they had the opportunity to consult the French version of the agreement and confirm that it is their express wish to be bound by the English version of the agreement. Les parties confirment leur volonté expresse que l’entente et les documents s’y rattachant soient rédigés en anglais.
