Revocation of this authorization does not terminate any contract for goods or services that exists between you and Santas Choice. Your authorization applies only to the method of payment and does not otherwise have any bearing on the contract for goods or services exchanged.

A Pre-Authorization Debit may be disputed by you under the following conditions: 1) the Pre-Authorized Debit was not drawn in accordance with your authorization; or 2) the authorization was revoked.

In order to be reimbursed you acknowledge that a declaration, to the effect that either 1 or 2 above took place, must be completed and presented to the branch of your financial institution no later than 90 calendar days after the date on which the Pre-Authorized Debit in dispute was posted to your account.

PAYMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS

By signing this order form, you acknowledge that all your payments before  October 21, 2011 for Winter 2011 orders, May 4, 2012 for Summer 2012 orders and October 19th for Winter 2012 orders, will be held by Santas Choice as non-refundable deposits, and at such time Santas Choice will apply the non-refundable deposits against the purchase price of your order. If, at that time, your order is not fully paid, you hereby authorize Santas Choice to adjust your order to substitute your selected Hamper with a Hamper having a value (inclusive of all taxes, delivery, administrative charges, etc.) determined by Santas Choice to be equal to the amount paid. If you have elected to participate in the HeadStart Plan, you hereby acknowledge that Santas Choice may continue to draw on your account after final payment date, to pay for your participation in that program as non‑refundable deposits toward future orders.


AUTO RENEWAL HEADSTART PLAN

Your direct debit payments will continue until your order is fully paid. After your Final payment date for the catalogue,  a HeadStart Plan may be created for you and direct debit payments will continue accordingly. A HeadStart Plan allows you to make payments towards next year’s order, while giving you time to decide exactly which products you want. We will write to you to confirm your HeadStart Plan payments prior to commencing your direct debits. Your HeadStart Plan is fully refundable at no cost to you should you wish to stop it if we have auto renewed your payments.


CREDIT BALANCE

We reserve the right to deduct a $5 monthly administration fee from any credit balance on an inactive account.


CATALOGUE

All efforts have been made to check for errors and omissions in typography and photography. However, inadvertent errors may occur for which Santas Choice will not be responsible. Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

You lose that right if you accept delivery after the 30 days. There may be other grounds for extended cancellation required by law in your province.
