Please note the following Terms and Conditions apply:
- Membership Status: Membership must be paid in full for the entire membership year by the monthly cut off date in order to be eligible for the renewal incentive credits (payment received by CFA). All elements of this agreement presume and require that the member company remains a CFA member in good standing. If the membership with CFA terminates or is cancelled or suspended for any reason, all membership renewal incentives will be cancelled and the CFA member will be responsible for retroactively paying for all elements delivered in whole or in part.
- CFA Credits: CFA credits will expire at the end of the 2021 membership year and therefore must be used by October 31, 2021. No transfers, exchanges, or refunds. CFA credits have no cash value.
- New Product/Service Purchaser: The member company must be a new product/service purchaser of that product in order to apply the credits. For example, if you have never participated in a web advertising, then you would be eligible for this benefit. If you are a web advertiser, then perhaps you can apply the credit to CFA publications. Subject to availability.
- Advertising Contracts and Advertising Materials: Activation of the CFA membership renewal incentives does not replace advertising contracts or submission of advertising materials. Completed and signed advertising contracts for applicable incentives are required and the member company, who will be subject to the terms and conditions of the signed advertising contracts. Failure to provide the signed advertising contract or advertising materials required (e.g. artwork) to fulfill the advertising will not cancel the booking of the element and payment for that element is due and payable. This would also be the same if physical events are added into the incentive package.
- NSF or Declined Payments: CFA reserves the right to cancel any or all elements of the membership renewal incentive program without notice if any payments for any products or services are outstanding.
- Cancellation and Notice by CFA: In the event that CFA cancels any element included in this agreement, CFA will provide verbal and written notice to member company, and liability to CFA will be limited to delivery of any applicable remaining elements of the membership renewal incentive program. All notices under this agreement shall be in writing and will be issued from Alexandra Mann, Manager, Member Programs, at amann@cfa.ca.
1 renewal incentive package per corporate member company.
