* EARLY RENEWAL INCENTIVE TERMS & CONDITIONS
Please note the terms and conditions below. The Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) reserves the right to amend the terms and conditions of the early renewal incentives at its sole discretion at any time.
- Membership year: The CFA 2024/2025 membership year begins November 1, 2024, and ends October 31, 2025. Payment for the annual membership dues must be received by October 31, 2024.
- Membership status: To be eligible for renewal incentives, membership must be paid in full for the entire 2024/2025 membership year by the applicable monthly cut-off date (July 31, 2024; August 31, 2024; or September 30, 2024). All elements of this agreement presume and require that the member company remains a CFA member in good standing. If a company’s membership with the CFA terminates, is cancelled, or is suspended for any reason, all membership renewal incentives will be cancelled, and the CFA member will be responsible for retroactively paying for all incentives delivered in whole or in part.
- Eligibility: Members that renew and pay in full by the cut-off dates can take advantage of the renewal incentives offered (according to the date of the completed/finalized renewal), assuming they are eligible to do so and meet the required criteria. One (1) renewal incentive package will be provided per corporate member company. Please note that only full members in good standing are eligible for incentives for the 2025 fiscal year.
- Expiry of early renewal incentives: All early renewal incentives will expire on October 31, 2025, unless otherwise noted. No transfers, exchanges, or refunds will be provided if unused. The CFA’s 2024/2025 early renewal incentives have no cash value.
- CFA event discounts: Incentives tied to discounts on future CFA events cannot be combined with any additional event discounts.
- 2025 CFA National Convention incentive: The CFA is hosting its 2025 National Convention in person on April 5-7, 2025, in Niagara Falls, Ontario. This incentive is applicable to one (1) full individual registration received under the corporate member company. To utilize the 2025 National Convention incentive, the registration fee must be paid in full on or before October 31, 2024.
- Early renewal discounts for speaking at/attending in-person/virtual events: Completed and signed contracts/registrations for applicable early renewal incentives are required, and the member company will be subject to the terms and conditions of the signed contract(s) for participation in virtual and in-person events. Please note that failure to provide the signed contract or any additional materials (e.g. artwork, proof of insurance, etc.) necessary to fulfill the contract may result in the cancellation of the space, speaking opportunity, or registration.
- Advertising contracts and advertising materials: Completed and signed advertising incentive contracts or the delivery of materials required to fulfill advertising incentives (e.g. artwork) will not cancel the previous booking of an advertising product, and payment for that previous advertising product remains due and payable.
- Exclusive keynote presentation: The CFA is offering one (1) complimentary registration for this exclusive event to members that renew before the stated cut-off dates. The date and topic for this virtual event is still to be determined.
- NSF or declined payments: The 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.
