By participating, you agree to these Terms and any offer-specific details shown in our emails, website pages, or in-store materials.

2. Eligibility and Territory

Offers are valid for Ontario residents, age 18 or older. Programs are void where prohibited. We reserve the right to request proof of identity, residency, and eligibility.

3. $500 Referral Program

3.1 Who can refer. Existing customers and members of the public may refer an individual who is not already engaged in an active purchase with CanBuyCars. Self-referrals are not allowed.

3.2 What counts as a successful referral. A referral is “successful” when the referred customer completes a vehicle purchase from CanBuyCars, takes delivery, and the transaction is not cancelled or unwound within 30 days.

3.3 Payment. The referrer will receive $500 CAD via e-transfer or cheque within 30–45 days after the conditions in 3.2 are met. One referral payout per sold vehicle. If multiple referrers submit the same person, we pay the earliest valid referrer recorded in our system.

3.4 Program limits. We may cap annual payouts per person, suspend, or end the program at any time.

3.5 CASL compliance. If you submit contact details for a referral, you confirm you have the referred person’s consent to share their information with us. If we send any “first contact” email based on a referral, it will comply with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation, which permits a single consent-seeking message that identifies the referrer and includes an unsubscribe mechanism when the statutory conditions are met.

4. Winter Tire Promotion

4.1 Scope. Promotion applies to select winter tires and optional rim packages. Availability, brands, sizes, and fitments vary by vehicle.

4.2 Pricing. Unless expressly stated otherwise in the ad, quoted prices exclude HST and licensing, and include any dealer fees in line with Ontario’s “all-in” advertising rules where a vehicle price is advertised. If we advertise any vehicle price, it must include all fees except HST and licensing.

4.3 What is included. Tire or tire-and-rim product only unless we specifically itemize installation, balancing, TPMS service, valve stems, shop supplies, tire taxes, and environmental fees.

4.4 Fitment and safety. Final fitment is based on VIN, wheel specs, and OEM tolerances. Certification and roadworthiness requirements for vehicles are separate from tire purchases; “unfit” vehicles require special disclosures if advertised.

4.5 No cash value. This is a limited-time discount and cannot be redeemed for cash, credited to a loan, or combined with certain other offers unless we say so in writing.

5. Vehicle Refinance Offer

5.1 Not a lender. CanBuyCars is not a bank. We arrange credit with third-party lenders. Approvals, terms, and rates are set by those lenders. On Approved Credit (O.A.C.).

5.2 Disclosures. Lenders must provide clear cost-of-borrowing disclosure before you sign, including APR and non-interest charges, as required by Ontario and federal rules. You will receive a disclosure statement to review before finalizing.

5.3 No guarantee of savings. Refinancing may increase the total cost of borrowing depending on term, rate, and fees. We do not guarantee lower payments or improved terms.

5.4 Verification. Income, employment, residence, insurance, loan payout statements, and vehicle condition may be required. Inaccurate or incomplete information can void approvals.

6. Advertising and Compliance

6.1 All-in pricing for vehicle ads. If a vehicle price is advertised, it must include all fees and charges the dealer intends to collect, except HST and licensing, which must be clearly disclosed as extra.

6.2 Finance advertising. Where we advertise finance or lease offers, we will include the required finance disclosures in line with OMVIC guidance and the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, 2002.

6.3 Dealer identification. Ads identify CanBuyCars by registered business name and contact details as required by Ontario rules.
