RETURNS POLICY

What Is Canadian Tire's Return Policy?

Unopened items, with a receipt, in original packaging and returned within 90 days of purchase will receive a refund to the original method of payment** or will receive an exchange. Items that are opened, damaged and/or not in resalable condition may not be eligible for a refund or exchange. For more information, please visit our Returns page.

Valid photo ID may be required.

PRICING POLICY

Price consistency

Canadian Tire attempts to match online prices to those in store. However, online prices, product and service selection and availability, as well as sale effective dates, may differ from those in store and may vary by geographic region.


Regional differences

Due to differences in sale effective dates across the country, items may be available online at the sale price before they are available in store. Dealers are under no obligation to make promotional products available, or to match online prices until the sale begins in their region.


Flyer differences 

The prices found in the online version of the Canadian Tire flyer may be different to the ones appearing on the website. Market conditions and competitive pressures may cause prices and availability to change without further notice. Canadian Tire Associate Dealers may sell for less.


Pricing, typographical or illustrative errors

Although great care is taken in the production of the canadiantire.ca website, typographical, illustrative or pricing errors may occur. We reserve the right to correct errors at any time. 

All prices quoted are payable in Canadian Dollars and, unless otherwise stated, do not include shipping charges, GST, PST, QST or HST.

The e-FLYER and canadiantire.ca each offer limited-time sales values, special buys and items at Canadian Tire's everyday low prices. Regular prices shown reflect the prices at which the products have been sold by Canadian Tire as of the date of issuance indicated.


Rounding Guidelines

As of February 4, 2013, Canadian Tire has adopted the fair rounding approach for CASH transactions. When proper change is not available, the amount owing after tax will be rounded to the nearest $.05.

  • Rounded down: If the last digit of the amount is 1, 2, 6 or 7. 
  • Rounded up: If the last digit of the amount is 3, 4, 8 or 9.
  • Rounding does not apply to Debit, Credit or Gift Card payments, unless it is a split payment, in which case, split payment rules apply.
  • On split payment transactions, if cash is the last method of payment used, the amount owing will be subjected to rounding. If cash is not the last payment type tendered, no rounding will take effect.
  • You can still pay the unrounded total in cash if you have the correct change. For example, if the amount owing after tax is $10.03, and you have 3 pennies, you can pay the unrounded total. 
  • These rules apply to U.S. currency as well.
  • Canadian Tire ‘Money’ will be issued on the pre-rounded amount.
  • Rounding will also be applied to refunds paid out in cash.
  • Purchases made with Gift Cards will be settled to the exact amount. 
  • Auto Work orders are also subject to rounding, which is done at the register. Therefore, the total on the work order may not match the total being paid at the register.

 

Returns

For items that have been delivered and are being returned, the portion of the shipping cost applicable to the item(s) being returned will not be refunded.

 

 

RESALE POLICY

What is Canadian Tire's Resale Policy?

Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited reserves the right to cancel any order that appears in its sole discretion to be for resale purposes.  This is in an effort to help ensure products are available at our best prices for our customers.

By providing your information to Canadian Tire, you consent to Canadian Tire using your personal information for the purposes outlined above.  

Withdrawal of consent to collect, use and disclose your personal information may restrict our ability to provide you with some products and services, such as the privileges and opportunities of being a member of a Loyalty Program.


3. We obtain your consent to collect, use or disclose your personal information

Canadian Tire obtains your consent to collect, use or disclose your personal information, except as otherwise permitted by law. Consent may be oral or written, express or implied. We may rely on implied consent to collect, use, or disclose your personal information in circumstances where a customer relationship already exists or the purpose of using the personal information is reasonably apparent to you. Your express consent (verbal, written or electronic agreement) is generally obtained to collect, use or disclose sensitive personal information such as your financial information, biometric information or information about minors. The method of obtaining consent may depend on the circumstances and the sensitivity of the information and will be appropriate to the type of personal information being collected, used or disclosed.

Consent for minors

We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose the personal information of minors under the age of 13 without the prior express consent of a parent or guardian. If a minor under the age of 13 and under your guardianship has provided us with their personal information without your consent, you may contact us to request that the personal information be removed (See “Contact Information” below).

Benefits you receive through consent 

Canadian Tire is a growing network of interrelated businesses offering a unique mix of products and services. We want to give you exceptional customer service and additional value which is facilitated by sharing your information within Canadian Tire and across our various businesses. This sharing enables us to better understand our customers, and notify current and new customers of products, services, rewards and special offers they might enjoy. With your consent, we may also provide your personal information to Canadian Tire affiliates or other third-party marketing partners (“Marketing Partners”), including advertising and social media partners and platforms, and marketing partners under a Loyalty Program, so that they can notify you directly of products, services, rewards and special offers that may be of interest to you. These notices may be given to you by postal mail, e-mail, telephone, text message, social media or other form of electronic message using the contact information that you provide to us.

 “Opting-out” or withdrawing your consent 

If you decide that you do not want to receive marketing offers for products and services, you may always withdraw or refuse your consent by clicking on the unsubscribe link in our email communications or by contacting us (See “Contact Information” below). Your request will be promptly processed but may not be processed in time to remove you from promotions already in progress. Please note that even if you have opted out of receiving marketing communications, we may still contact you for purposes of administering your account and sending you transactional or operational messages to complete a transaction. 

The consequences of withdrawing or refusing consent

If you decide to withdraw or refuse your consent, our ability to communicate with you about upcoming promotional offers may be diminished. For example, we will generally not be able to tell you about price discounts, rewards, customized balance transfer offers, contests, or other products and services that may be of value to you.


4. We limit collection of your personal information

Canadian Tire collects the information required to provide products and services to you and as otherwise outlined in this Privacy Charter. If the personal information we require is collected for a reason other than as outlined in this Privacy Charter, your consent will be obtained before or at the time the information is collected or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. Canadian Tire will collect personal information by clear, fair and lawful means.  


5. We limit use, disclosure and retention of your personal information

Canadian Tire uses and discloses your personal information for the purposes for which it was collected, except with your consent or as otherwise required or permitted by applicable law. We do not sell or rent personal information. 

Data Transfers with Third Parties

We may transfer your personal information to entities outside Canadian Tire, such as our vendors, suppliers and agents (“Service Provider”) who require the information in order to perform a service for us. When your personal information is transferred to a Service Provider, we require them to protect the information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Charter. Our Service Providers may be located outside of Canada and may be required to disclose your personal information under the laws of their jurisdiction. You may contact us for information about our policies and practices regarding Service Providers to whom we have transferred your personal information and their locations (see “Contact Information” below).

We may share certain personal information (including your name, email address, phone number, shipping and billing address, transaction-level details, account information and purchase history, IP address and other information about your device and activity on our site (“Fraud Prevention Data”) with our fraud prevention partner to help us detect and prevent fraudulent transactions.  As a Service Provider, our fraud prevention provider will use the Fraud Prevention Data to train and improve its products and will combine the Fraud Prevention Data with information it receives from third-party data sources and other clients to assist those clients with the detection and prevention of fraudulent transactions on their platforms.  For more information about the manner in which our fraud prevention partner treats your personal information, or for instructions on how to access, correct or delete the personal information maintained by our fraud prevention partner, see their Privacy Policy at https://www.signifyd.com/privacy/. 

We may share personal information (including your name, account number, address, social insurance number, telephone number, date of birth, employment history, purchase history and outstanding balances) with our third-party collection agencies as a part of a file transfer for their services. As a Service Provider, the collection agencies that we work with review this information to assist us in collecting any outstanding balances on delinquent accounts.

We may also use third parties such as ad networks, social media and other advertising companies and platforms to serve more relevant advertisements on our websites and apps, and on other websites or apps, and to better understand our customers.  We may provide a hashed version of your email address or other non-sensitive information to the platform provider for such purposes. As a Service Provider, these companies may use cookies, pixels, tracer tags or web beacons to report certain information about your visits to our websites and other websites and apps (such as web pages you visit and your response to ads) in order to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and to deliver ads that are more relevant to you, both on and off our websites and apps. These companies may also use your personal information in automated decision-making practices to serve you with ads that may be more relevant to you.

In the event that Canadian Tire, any of its affiliated companies, brands or substantially all of their assets are acquired by an unrelated third party, your personal information may be one of the transferred assets. By providing your personal information to us, you agree that we may disclose your personal information, on a confidential basis, to any prospective transferee and its professional advisors for the purposes of their due diligence investigations, the completion of any such transaction and the continued operation of the acquired business.

Canadian Tire, our various businesses within the Canadian Tire family of companies and Service Providers may provide your personal information in response to a search warrant or other legally valid inquiry or order, or to an investigative body in the case of a breach of an agreement or contravention of law, or as otherwise required or permitted by applicable Canadian or international law. We may also disclose personal information where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and to investigate or prevent actual or suspected loss or harm to persons or property.

The security of your personal information is important to us. We have implemented appropriate technical, physical and administrative safeguards and security measures such as data encryption, access controls and policies and procedures that are designed to protect your personal information. All of our Service Providers are required under their contracts with us to maintain your confidentiality and may not use your information for any unauthorized purpose. When we are required by law to provide information, we take reasonable steps to verify the lawful authority for the collection and we disclose only the information that is legally required.

Personal information is information that can be used to identify an individual.  Personal information includes, but is not limited to, name, address, email address, age, income, date of birth, gender, biometric information, financial information and credit records, as well as your opinions, preferences, behavioural and purchase patterns.


3. Why do we need your personal information?

You do not have to provide us with personal information to purchase merchandise, but in certain instances, we need your personal information in order to do business with you.  The following are some examples of the personal information that our Retail Services, Financial Services and the Canadian Tire loyalty reward program or other loyalty or preferred customer programs (each a “Loyalty Program”) need and the reasons why this information is needed. The following also includes examples of how we collect and use demographic information, and how information is used in smart device products under our owned brands.

Retail Services and Loyalty Programs

Most of the information collected about you for retail services is very basic information that we need to complete a purchase, provide you with a refund or exchange or process and keep track of transactions.  Examples of information that may be collected to complete an in-person purchase, or refund may include things such as your name, address, telephone number, and a description of the item requested or purchased.

Generally, we request your address and phone number only if the item you purchased will be sent to you at a later date, or if you are receiving a refund.

If you make a purchase, we collect personal information such as your name, address, email address, phone number, and credit card information.  For details about the information we collect on our websites, see question 11 below on ”cookies”.

Financial Services

Banks and financial institutions require certain information in order to open credit-related accounts and deposit accounts.  For example, name, address and date of birth are required to identify you and process your application; information about your background (for example, occupation) and financial circumstances like assets, income, other financial commitments, are required to determine if you are eligible for products and services; credit reports and other information are required to assess and update your credit worthiness; and, transactional and payment patterns are required to identify credit risk, fraud risk, and suspicious activities and to fulfill regulatory obligations.

Depending on the financial product, some information is required by law.  For example, your name, address, date of birth, employment information and details of government issued identification documents are required under anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regulations, and your social insurance number (SIN) is required for reporting purposes under the Income Tax Act.

Demographic Information

We may use personal information in an aggregated, de-identified form about our customers to improve our services, to study trends, for statistical analysis, to develop products and programs, for marketing purposes and/or for industry reporting purposes.  We may share such aggregated, de-identified information with members of the Canadian Tire family of companies, our partners, our agents, and service providers, including our advertisers and social media partners and platforms.

Smart Devices

Smart devices, such as NOMA iQ products, which are connected to other devices or networks through Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC) or Wi-Fi for example, may collect personal information in order to provide you with device functionality or features. Smart devices may be connected to device management apps that allow you to control and manage your smart devices. These apps collect personal information during set up and while in use to operate. Different devices may collect different information. For example, a smart light bulb may collect information about the lighting schedule you have set for the connected devices. A smart power bar may collect information about when the device is on or off.


4. When do we ask for your Social Insurance Number (SIN)?

Financial Services

When you apply for products such as a deposit account or GIC, we are required to collect your SIN for reporting purposes under the Income Tax Act.

We may also ask for your SIN for other purposes, however, providing your SIN for other purposes is optional.  Your SIN is used by credit bureaus/consumer reporting agencies to distinguish you from others with a similar name and to provide us with more accurate and timely credit bureau/consumer reporting agency information. We do not treat you differently because you choose not to disclose your SIN for these purposes.


5. When do we need a credit bureau report?

If you are applying for a credit-related product or service through our financial services, we need a credit bureau report on you to determine your credit-worthiness and the appropriateness of granting you credit. We will also continue to obtain credit reports, from time to time, to update your credit-worthiness in order to administer the credit facility or loan.  The credit/consumer reporting system relies on the accuracy and completeness of the information provided to credit bureaus/consumer reporting agencies. As such, during the term of a credit facility or loan, we will collect, use, or share your personal information with the credit bureaus/consumer reporting agencies to support and maintain the integrity of the credit/consumer reporting system.  However, if an account is closed voluntarily with no balance remaining on the account, we will stop providing the related account information to the credit bureaus.


6. How do we obtain your consent to use your personal information?

We obtain your consent in different ways depending on the circumstances and the sensitivity of the information.  Consent may be oral or written, express or implied.   Your express consent (verbal, written or electronic agreement) will generally be obtained to collect, use, or disclose sensitive personal information such as your personal financial information.  We may rely on implied consent to collect, use or disclose your personal information in circumstances where a customer relationship already exists or the purpose of using the personal information is reasonably apparent to you.

We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose the personal information of minors under the age of 13 without the prior express consent of a parent or guardian.

In certain circumstances, the law permits or requires that we collect, use or share your personal information without your consent.  For example, we may provide your personal information in response to a search warrant, or other legally valid inquiry. We may also provide your personal information to an investigative body in the case of a breach of an agreement or a contravention of law, to realize on security pledged for a loan, or to investigate or prevent loss or harm to persons or property.


7. What information do we need from you?

In order to provide you with products or services, administer your account and provide you with exceptional customer service, there is certain personal information that our Retail Services (for example, Canadian Tire Retail, Mark’s, Canadian Tire Petroleum, FGL and Partsource), Financial Services (for example, Canadian Tire Financial Services Limited and Canadian Tire Bank) and Loyalty Program may need from you.  The following are some examples of the information that we may need from you and the reasons why this information is needed.

Retail Services

Mark’s has created an online database on marks.com. Customers may register on the database to enable tracking of on-line purchases at www.marks.com. Registration is entirely voluntary, and customers may correct their information or remove themselves from the database at any time. Mark’s may also collect personal information about employees of various companies who are Mark’s corporate clients.  For example, a company may contract with Mark’s to supply all of its employee uniforms.  When the employee of a corporate client makes his or her purchase, Mark’s collects information about the nature of that employee's purchases and may provide that information to the employer.

The Canadian Tire and Party City websites may collect your name, email, postal code, country and phone number in order to provide you with information on upcoming sales.  Mark’s may collect your email address, name, address, city, province, country, postal code, gender, household income and age range in order to provide you with advance notice of upcoming promotions and exclusive offers, news of on-line and in-store special event, information on products and services and notices of contests.  PartSource may collect your name, email and postal code in order to send you a monthly e-newsletter and money saving coupon offers. Our Retail Services may also collect information from you if you choose to provide us with feedback on your customer experience through our customer feedback surveys.

Financial Services

We need your name and address in order to prepare and send you a monthly statement for your card account.

Canadian Tire Bank is also required by law to verify the identity and background of its customers before entering into a business relationship or opening an account.  Canadian Tire Bank uses third parties including credit bureaus/consumer reporting agencies for these purposes and we need your consent to do this.  If you do not provide us with your consent, we cannot enter into a business relationship with you or open an account for you.

Loyalty Program

If you choose to enroll in one of our Loyalty Programs, the Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited and its family of companies may require your name, age, year of birth, email address, address, postal code, and phone number to complete your enrollment and to provide you with the benefits of the Loyalty Program that you have selected. The information collected will be used to authenticate your identity when you login to your Loyalty Program account. If you choose to opt into email marketing through your Loyalty Program account, the contact information that you provide may also be used to communicate with you about personalized offers, promotions, information, and services associated with your Loyalty Program account.


8. Does Canadian Tire use automated decision-making practices?

Automated decision-making involves the use of technology to make a decision with limited or no human involvement. The Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited and its family of companies may use automated decision-making as a part of our day-to-day operations to assist us in making our business decisions. For more information about our use of automated decision-making practices, please contact the Privacy Office (see contact information in question 18 below).


9. Why do we record our calls?

Your customer experience is important to us which is why we train our customer service representatives on an ongoing basis.  It is important for us to understand how our representatives are handling your questions and concerns.  As such, if you have a telephone conversation with our representatives, we may monitor the call for training and quality control purposes.  Please be aware, certain calls may be recorded for record keeping purposes.  For example, your call may be recorded when you apply for a product or service or authorize us to activate or enrol you in a product or service by phone. We will inform you before proceeding with the call if it will be monitored or recorded for these purposes.


10. Why do we use video surveillance?

Many of our retail stores, including Canadian Tire, Mark’s, PartSource, FGL and Canadian Tire Gas Bars are equipped with surveillance cameras.  These cameras are in place for your safety as a customer, as well as for the safety of our employees and to protect us against shoplifting or vandalism. The video surveillance technology in use is not equipped with facial recognition technology. While Canadian Tire stores are independently owned and operated by Associate Dealers, the Corporation and the Dealers have mutually agreed to prohibit the use of facial recognition technology in Canadian Tire stores.

Stores using video surveillance post signage to notify you that cameras are in use. The information on our video systems that record your image are typically kept for a short period of time before they are overwritten with new information or deleted.  They are only shared with appropriate third parties under circumstances where Canadian Tire is required or authorized by law to do so.


11. What are “cookies” and what information is collected online?

In general, you can visit our websites without telling us who you are or submitting any personal information. However, we collect the IP (Internet protocol) addresses of all visitors to our websites and other related information such as page requests, browser type, operating system and average time spent on our websites. We use this information to help us understand our website activity, and to monitor and improve our websites.

Cookies are small text files that contain a unique identifier which is placed on your computer when you visit a website.  When you visit a website, the website saves the file with a matching identifier.  When you revisit the site days or weeks later, the site can recognize you by matching the cookie on your computer with the matching identifier in its database.   We use cookies on the pages on our websites where you are prompted to log in or that are customizable. These cookies may let us know who you are and will provide us and our service providers with information (such as your language choice) that we use to personalize our websites in accordance with your preferences. You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to not accept certain cookies. However, if you decide not to accept cookies from our websites, you may not be able to take advantage of all of the features of our websites.

We may also use a technology called "tracer tags", “pixels” or "web beacons". This technology allows us to understand which pages you visit on our website or what email communications you receive and open.  For example, the information we collect through this technology may include the first date and time you open our email, and whether you click any links included in our email. This information helps us optimize and tailor our websites and marketing communications for you and others.

We may offer you the opportunity to engage with our content on or through third-party social networking websites, plug-ins and applications. When you engage with our content on or through third-party social networking websites, plug-ins and applications, you may allow us to have access to certain information associated with your social media account (e.g., name, username, email address, profile picture, gender) to deliver the content or as part of the operation of the website, plug-in or application. When you provide information from your social media account, we may use this information to personalize your experience on our websites and on the third-party social networking websites, platforms, plug-ins and applications, and to provide you with other products or services you may request.


12. Why do we share your information?

We may need to transfer your personal information in order to provide you with the products and services you have requested.  The following are examples of why our Retail Services (Canadian Tire stores, Mark’s, FGL and PartSource), Financial Services (Canadian Tire Financial Services Limited and Canadian Tire Bank) and Loyalty Program need to share your information.

We may share your information with parties such as ad networks, social media and other advertising companies and platforms to serve more relevant advertisements on our websites and apps and on other websites or apps and to better understand our customers.  For some partners, we may provide a hashed version of your email address or other non-sensitive information to the platform provider for such purposes.

We may also need to share your personal information with affiliates and/or service providers such as credit bureaus/consumer reporting agencies, data storage providers, data and payment processors, credit card printers, cheque printers, claims processors, collection agencies, statement producers and mailing houses (i.e., to mail your statement; to provide any necessary legal communications) in order to provide certain services to you.  We limit the information we share to only what is required to perform the service.  We do not necessarily share your personal information with each and every type of company listed above. The personal information we share with other companies will depend on the products and services you are receiving.

Designated employees may collect, use, and exchange personal information with other financial institutions and other entities as permitted by law, such as investigative bodies and law enforcement.

There is a close relationship between Canadian Tire Financial Services Limited and Canadian Tire Bank, as such sharing is necessary between these entities in order to provide services to you. For example, Canadian Tire Financial Services Limited operates a call centre that provides call centre services to Canadian Tire Bank. 

For residents of Quebec, Canadian Tire assesses personal information that is being transferred outside of Quebec to ensure that the information receives adequate protection. We will also notify you if your personal information may be transferred outside of Quebec to the extent possible, except as otherwise required or permitted by applicable law.


13.  How can you opt-out of receiving marketing?

You may decide that you do not want your personal information used or shared for marketing purposes.  If this is the case, you may always withdraw or refuse your consent at any time by contacting us using the information set out in Section 15 below, or by clicking on the unsubscribe link in our email communications. We will process your request as soon as possible but it may not be in time to remove you from promotions already in progress.  Please remember that even if you have opted out of receiving marketing communications, we may still contact you for non-marketing purposes such as fraud, collections, account maintenance and transactional and/or operational purposes.


14. Why do we contact you for feedback and reviews?

We may occasionally contact you to request feedback on our performance.  For example, you may be contacted with a request to complete a customer satisfaction survey, provide a product review or rate an experience.

There may also be circumstances where we might ask you to assist us and our community of customers by contributing content for our websites.  This can include writing a product review, answering a product question asked by another customer or allowing us to share a photo from a social media post that uses one of our hashtags or tags us or our products.  These requests are voluntary, you never have to provide feedback, answer questions or allow us to re-post a photo if you don’t want to.


15.  Do you retain my payment card number when I receive an e-receipt?

When a purchase is made at one of our stores you may receive the option to receive an electronic copy of your receipt. If you consent to receiving an electronic copy of your receipt, an e-receipt will be emailed to the email address that you provide at the time of purchase. To enhance our customer experience, a process has been implemented at our stores to link the email address that you provide to the payment card used during the transaction. Once the email address and payment card information are linked in our system, you will receive an e-receipt for every transaction that you make at our stores with the linked payment card.

To ensure the security of your information, a non-related unique number (a “token”) is assigned to the payment card and is retained in a secure system within Canadian Tire Bank as a record of your payment. Only the last four digits of your payment card number is retained in our systems to support the record of payment. We do not retain the full payment card number in any of our systems. Please also note that customer name, CVC or PIN associated with non-Canadian Tire issued credit cards are not stored in our systems.


16.  How can I request that you delete the personal information that you have about me?

You may contact the Privacy Office as outlined in question 17 to request that your personal information be deleted from our records. It is important to note that in accordance with applicable legislation, we may be obligated to retain your information for a prescribed amount of time. As such, it may not be possible for us to immediately remove the personal information that we have about you from our records.


17. How can you review and/or obtain copies of the personal information we have about you?

You can request access to your personal information stored by us. 

Your request must be submitted in writing to:

There may be times where the law permits us to refuse your request to access your personal information.  For example, if providing access to your personal information would reveal confidential commercial or proprietary information or personal information about someone else (and we are unable to separate your data), we may be unable to fulfill your request.

If we refuse access to your personal information, we will contact you directly.  If you wish, you may then choose to file a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

1 Canadian Tire stores and certain Mark's, FGL and PartSource stores are owned and operated by independent dealers or franchisees.  Canadian Tire gas bars are operated under license by independent retailers.  As independent businesses, these dealers, franchisees, and retailers are responsible under applicable laws for adopting their own customer service accessibility policies that are consistent with this Policy.

Some businesses within the Canadian Tire family may have developed their own retail specific customer service accessibility policy.  Should there be a conflict between a retail specific customer service accessibility policy and the Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited Customer Service Accessibility Policy, the one which offers the greater accommodation to our customers shall govern.

Canadian Tire has attempted to match online prices to those in store; however online prices, product and service selection and availability, and sale effective dates may differ from those in store and may vary by geographic region. Due to differences in sale effective dates across the country, items may be available online at the sale price before they are available in store. Dealers are under no obligation to make promotional products available, or to match online prices until the sale begins in their region. Market conditions and competitive pressures may cause prices and availability to change without further notice. Canadian Tire Associate Dealers may sell for less. Additionally, although great care is taken in the production of the canadiantire.ca web site, typographical, illustrative or pricing errors may occur. We reserve the right to correct errors at any time.

TRIANGLE REWARDS 

This page sets out important information about the Triangle Rewards program (the Program) – the program that rewards you with electronic Canadian Tire Money when you shop at participating Canadian Tire® stores, on-line at canadiantire.ca and at Canadian Tire gas bars. The Program is made available by Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited (referred to as Canadian Tire or we) on the following terms and conditions. 


Participating in the Program

In order to collect and redeem electronic Canadian Tire Money (eCTM®), you must become a member (a Member). Membership is open to you if you are an individual, you reside in Canada and you are of the age of majority in the province in which you reside.  

You can become a Member by (i) completing the registration process online at canadiantire.ca (the Program Website) or (ii) by downloading the Program application to your mobile phone or device (the Program App) which you can receive information on by calling Program customer service at 1-800-226-8473 or by visiting the Program Website, or (iii) by applying for a credit card issued by Canadian Tire Bank that is designated as being linked to the Program or by being issued a debit card connected to a bank account from Canadian Tire Bank that is designated as being linked to the Program (a Program Payment Card), or (iv) by calling customer service at 1-800-226-8473 after you have picked up a Triangle Rewards Card in store.  

If you apply for a credit card that is a Program Payment Card and are not approved you will still become a Member of the Triangle Rewards Program if you provided all of the necessary information unless, at time of application for such credit card, you were advised that you would have to enroll separately in the Triangle Rewards Program in the event your credit card application was declined or unless we otherwise notify you in writing. 

  

Triangle Rewards Cards

Each Member may receive a Triangle Rewards Program card (a Triangle Rewards Card) that is linked to a Triangle Rewards Account. Your eCTM will be stored in that account. If you do not receive a Triangle Rewards Card you will need to use a Cardless Method (see below) when you collect or redeem eCTM.    

Any Program Payment Cards that are issued to a Member will also be linked to that Member’s Triangle Rewards Account. If a Member has multiple Program Payment Cards they cannot be linked to the same Triangle Rewards Account.  

A Member can request the issuance of additional Triangle Rewards Cards that have the same account number as that Member’s Triangle Rewards Account. 

  

Collecting electronic Canadian Tire Money 

eCTM can be collected when you purchase Eligible Merchandise (see below) at participating Canadian Tire stores or on-line at canadiantire.ca (or such other web site as may be designated by Canadian Tire from time to time). eCTM is calculated on the pre-tax, purchase amount (or eligible portion thereof) and is rounded to the nearest cent. To collect eCTM you must present a Triangle Rewards Card (or use a Cardless Method described below). You can also collect eCTM on that portion of a purchase charged to a Program Payment Card. The Program Payment Card must be linked to a Triangle Rewards Account at the time the purchase is made in order to collect eCTM.  

eCTM can also be collected when you purchase fuel (gasoline or diesel) at participating Canadian Tire gas bars and present a Triangle Rewards Card (or use a Cardless Method described below) and use a qualifying form of tender or if you pay for the purchase with a Program Payment Card. The amount of eCTM collected on fuel purchases depends on the number of litres purchased. A minimum fuel purchase may be required before eCTM can be collected. The rate of collection may vary from time to time and by location and by type of tender used for payment so check at your local Canadian Tire gas bar. eCTM can only be collected at Canadian Tire gas bars on fuel purchases.  

 You can also collect eCTM on purchases that you make at other merchants that are charged to a Program Payment Card. eCTM that you collect at other merchants will also be rounded to the nearest cent.  

The rate at which eCTM can be collected may vary from time to time and by location and is subject to change by Canadian Tire without notice. In addition, you may collect eCTM at a different rate if you pay with a Program Payment Card than you would if you use a Triangle Rewards Card (or Cardless Method) or based on the type of Program Payment Card that you use. Please call 1-800-226-8473 for current rates.  

When shopping at Canadian Tire stores or gas bars, if you forget your Triangle Rewards Card or choose not to use it, you may still be able to collect eCTM on a qualifying purchase if you provide the telephone number that you gave when you enrolled as a Member or you scan at a compatible point of sale device your mobile phone or other mobile device on which you have downloaded the Program App (each of these is a Cardless Method).  

Purchases made in a foreign currency with a Program Payment Card are first converted into Canadian currency (as set out in the cardmember agreement) prior to calculating the amount of eCTM that you have collected.  

eCTM can only be collected on one Triangle Rewards Account for each purchase transaction.  

If you use a Triangle Rewards Card or Cardless Method, it must be swiped or scanned or your phone number provided, as the case may be, before you make your purchase. When shopping online at canadiantire.ca (or other website as designated by Canadian Tire), you must enter your Triangle Rewards Account number at check out to collect eCTM.  

Members are also eligible to collect bonus eCTM, or to collect eCTM at a promotional rate offered from time to time on the purchase of select items, upon the occurrence of certain events or as part of a promotion or offer, but unless otherwise indicated, bonus eCTM or eCTM awarded at a promotional rate is awarded only once for a transaction, or for the occurrence of an event, as the case may be.  

You cannot use a Triangle Rewards Card (or Cardless Method) together with a Program Payment Card. If you charge a purchase to a Program Payment Card, you will only earn eCTM at the applicable Program Payment Card rate then in effect, even if you also present your Triangle Rewards Card (or Cardless Method). However, if you redeem eCTM to pay for part of a transaction and pay for the balance of the transaction with a Program Payment Card that is linked to a different Triangle Rewards Account than the account from which the redemption is occurring, all eCTM collected in respect of that transaction will be credited to the Triangle Rewards Account from which redemption is occurring.  

You will not be able to collect eCTM on that portion of a transaction in respect of which you redeemed eCTM. However, we may, from time to time and at our discretion, have special offers or promotions that would allow you to collect eCTM on that portion of a transaction in respect of which you redeemed eCTM.  

If you use more than one Program Payment Card to make a purchase (e.g. split the cost between two or more cards), all eCTM collected on that purchase will be credited only to the Triangle Rewards Account linked to the first Program Payment Card that is presented.  

If you make payment using a Program Payment Card in combination with some other form of tender, only that portion of the purchase charged to the Program Payment Card will earn eCTM at the then applicable Program Payment Card rate. That portion of the purchases made with the other form of tender may be eligible to earn eCTM at a different rate.  

Delays may occur in recording eCTM to a Triangle Rewards Account. You cannot collect paper Canadian Tire Money® and eCTM on the same transaction.  

If you are the holder of a Program Payment Card and you fail to keep your credit card account, or bank account to which your debit card is linked, in good standing, any eCTM that you might have collected as a result of transactions with that Program Payment Card, may, in Canadian Tire’s sole discretion, be cancelled. 


Eligible Merchandise   

All merchandise sold at Canadian Tire stores, or on-line at canadiantire.ca, is Eligible Merchandise except the following: gift cards, lottery tickets, hunting and fishing licences, tire disposal fees, tire taxes, Rug Doctor® rental charges, refundable deposits, environmental fees, repair charges, delivery or assembly charges, other store services (other than automobile service), inter-store sales, other store labour (other than labour for automobile repairs), donations at a discount, house account charges, towing charges, prepaid cards, phone cards, tobacco products or alcohol, Pit Stop® parts/labour charges, Canadian Tire Roadside Assistance® memberships that are purchased over the phone or on-line, premiums for credit card balance insurance or for insurance or extended warranties on items purchased with a Canadian Tire branded credit card, premiums for other Canadian Tire branded insurance products, cash advances, transactions using a convenience cheque, balance transfers and other cash transactions, any fees charged on a Program Payment Card, payments made to a credit card account, the value of any part or item traded-in in connection with a purchase, any item that we are legally precluded from awarding eCTM in respect of and such other goods or services as we may determine from time to time in our sole discretion. In addition, individual Canadian Tire stores may exclude additional items sold in that store from being Eligible Merchandise. We reserve the right, at any time without notice, to change what constitutes Eligible Merchandise. 

  

Redeeming electronic Canadian Tire Money   

eCTM can only be redeemed for merchandise (including applicable taxes) at participating Canadian Tire stores or at other locations designated by Canadian Tire.  

eCTM cannot be redeemed for alcohol, tobacco, gift cards, pre-paid cards, other stored value cards or products, items that we designate on the Program Website and those items which the law does not permit to be purchased this way, or used to make a payment on any Canadian Tire Bank issued credit cards or on loans or for financial or insurance products or in respect of fees or overdraft on any Canadian Tire Bank provided bank account.  

To redeem your eCTM you must present your Triangle Rewards Card (or Cardless Method) or Program Payment Card to the cashier with your purchase. Please note that in some Canadian Tire stores it may not be possible to simply provide your phone number when redeeming eCTM; presentation of your Triangle Rewards Card or Program Payment Card or scanning of the Program App may be required instead. eCTM can be used in combination with paper Canadian Tire Money and/or in combination with any other form of tender.  

eCTM collected on a purchase transaction cannot be redeemed on the same transaction.  

You may not redeem eCTM from more than one Triangle Rewards Account for the same transaction.  

You must have enrolled in the Program, or have activated your Program Payment Card, in order to redeem eCTM. 

  

What Happens When an Item is Returned? 

If you return an item for a refund and had received eCTM when you purchased such item, such amount of eCTM will be deducted from your Triangle Rewards Account.  

Merchandise that was purchased either in whole or in part by redeeming eCTM may not be returned for cash, rather, the connected Triangle Rewards Account will be credited with the same amount of eCTM used to make the original purchase. 

Expiration of Electronic Canadian Tire Money 

We may expire the eCTM in your Triangle Rewards Account in the event that there has been a period of inactivity of 18 months or more. For the purposes of this section, “inactivity” means that there has been neither a transaction in which you have collected eCTM, nor a transaction in which you have redeemed eCTM during the period in question. 

 

Termination of Membership and Cancellation of the Program 

Membership may be terminated by Canadian Tire if any of the following events occur: (A) the Member has failed to comply with any of these terms and conditions, or Canadian Tire determines that the Member has abused the Program or has made any misrepresentation or false statement to Canadian Tire; (B) the Member dies; (C) the Member becomes bankrupt or insolvent or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings are commenced by or against the Member, (D) the Member is charged with a “designated offence” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)), (E) the Member’s Program Payment Card is terminated by Canadian Tire Bank, or (F) Canadian Tire suspects the Member of any fraudulent activity in connection with the Program or the use of a Program Payment Card.  

A Member may choose to cancel his or her membership by written notice sent to the address below or by calling Program customer service.  

Termination or cancellation of membership in the Program will result in the immediate closing of the Member’s Triangle Rewards Account and the cancellation of all eCTM in such Triangle Rewards Account without any compensation or other liability to the Member. Termination of a Member’s Triangle Rewards Account will also result in the Member no longer being able to use a Program Payment Card linked to the Program. 

Canadian Tire may, in its sole discretion and at any time without prior notice either (i) cancel the Program or (ii) except if you are a Member residing in Quebec, Ontario or such other province where prohibited by law, establish a date upon which eCTM will expire and may no longer be used. 


Merging Triangle Rewards Accounts 

At Canadian Tire’s discretion, Members may be able to merge their Triangle Rewards Accounts into a single account. That merged account will bear the Triangle Rewards Account number of one of the accounts being merged and one Member will be designated as the holder of that account with full power and authority to deal with the account, including closing it, and will become the “Member” hereunder. All Members wishing to merge their Triangle Rewards Accounts will need to consent to the merger and agree on which account number will be designated as the number for the newly merged Triangle Rewards Account and who the accountholder will be. All remaining Triangle Rewards Account numbers will be cancelled and the persons who are not designated as the accountholder will no longer be Members in the Program. 


Donating electronic Canadian Tire Money 

Members may be able to donate their eCTM to select charities or community groups. Please visit the Program Website for details about donating eCTM. 


Lost or Stolen Triangle Rewards Cards 

If a Triangle Rewards Card is lost, stolen or destroyed, Canadian Tire will issue a new card on presentation of proper identification, and the balance in the Member’s Triangle Rewards Account will be transferred to a new Triangle Rewards Account.  

Canadian Tire assumes no responsibility if eCTM has been used by anyone who presents a lost or stolen Triangle Rewards Card, Cardless Method or Program Payment Card before Canadian Tire is notified of such loss or theft. 


Partner Locations 

We may, from time to time, designate certain other merchants as locations at which you can collect or redeem eCTM (a Partner). The names of Partners, the rates at which eCTM can be collected and redeemed and any items that will not be considered eligible for collecting eCTM or in respect of which you will not be able to redeem eCTM will be designated by us and will be posted on the Program Website and may be amended by us from time to time. eCTM that you collect at a Partner may not be recorded, or, if recorded, may be cancelled or may not be redeemed by us if that Partner does not provide all necessary information to us, if we cannot confirm that the eCTM was properly collected, or if that Partner is in default under its agreement with us respecting the eCTM. If you redeem eCTM at a Partner we are not responsible for any loss, damage, injury, death or expense as a result of any item or service you acquired at such Partner. 


General 
  

e-CTM is not exchangeable and cannot be redeemed for cash or made subject to any security interest. eCTM cannot be transferred from a Member to any other Member or other person without the consent of Canadian Tire.  

These terms and conditions, as amended by Canadian Tire from time to time, constitute the entire agreement between the Member and Canadian Tire with respect to eCTM.  

On occasion, Canadian Tire, our various businesses within the Canadian Tire family of companies and any Partners may communicate special offers, information and services to Members by email, text message (standard text messaging and data rates may apply) or other communication preferences selected by you using the contact information you have provided.

Please note that even if you have opted out of receiving marketing communications, we may still contact you for the purposes of administering your account and sending you transactional or operational messages.  

Any waiver by Canadian Tire of any of these terms and conditions at any time does not mean that Canadian Tire cannot rely on these terms and conditions at any subsequent time. No delay or omission by Canadian Tire in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy.  

All Triangle Rewards Cards remain the sole property of Canadian Tire and, if requested by Canadian Tire, must be returned to Canadian Tire upon the cancellation of a Member’s membership in the Program.  

The Member is responsible for informing Canadian Tire of any change to his or her personal information (e.g. name, address, email, etc.), by visiting the Program Website or by calling Program customer service. Canadian Tire reserves the right to terminate a Member’s participation in the Program or to block a Member’s ability to use the Member’s eCTM if Canadian Tire has inaccurate or incomplete information respecting the Member. 

Enrolment in the Program constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions and each applicant for membership in the Program consents to the collection and use of personal information in accordance with the Canadian Tire Privacy Charter, as amended from time to time. If any provision of these terms and conditions is invalid or unenforceable, such provision will not affect the validity and enforceability of any of the remaining terms and conditions. Participants are responsible for any taxes, duties or other charges associated with their participation in the Program.

Helpful Product Specific Information

• Sheds: 

o A minimum of 30˝ clearance to fences or other structures will be required to allow assembly/installation of the garden shed.
o A garden shed that is assembled/installed and anchored to a proper base helps to ensure it will function as it should and prolongs its useful service. If you have a cement pad, a concrete slab area, or a pre-assembled wooden base of an appropriate size that would accommodate the garden shed, our Authorized Installer will anchor the garden shed to that. While it remains your choice, we recommend that if a pre-existing base is not available, one should be purchased along with the garden shed installation.
If you purchase a base, our Authorized Installer will:

The amount of piping and cost of this work will depend of the extent of the work necessary to make the system operational.

 Some “roughed in” homes only have the pipes installed as far as the basement, and the pipe connecting to the unit is still required. The installation kit includes this piping but there is additional work needed to complete the installation.

 If there are additional charges for work outside of the original quote and installation agreement to make the installation safe and operational, you will be advised of those charges by the Authorized Installer prior to beginning the work.

 See the “What could lead to additional costs?” section above for more information.

MULTI-YEAR ACCESSIBILITY PLAN 

Last Updated October 2023

Who is Canadian Tire?

For purposes of this Accessibility Plan, "Canadian Tire" means Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited and its family of companies including Canadian Tire Services Limited, Canadian Tire Bank, Canadian Tire Real Estate Limited, Mark's Work Wearhouse Limited (Mark’s), FGL Sports Ltd. (FGL), Canadian Tire Petroleum and PartSource.  Canadian Tire also includes any successors or subsidiaries of the above-listed companies.[1]

Background

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) was adopted in 2005 with a goal of making Ontario completely accessible for individuals with disabilities by 2025.  To reach this goal, businesses and organizations that provide goods and services to people in Ontario, are required to meet certain accessibility standards in 5 areas: (1) Customer Service; (2) Information and Communications; (3) Employment; (4) Transportation; and (5) the Design of Public Spaces. 

Canadian Tire is committed to eliminating barriers and improving accessibility for persons with disabilities and to providing goods and services in a way that respects the dignity and independence of people with disabilities.  In 2012 we implemented an Accessible Customer Service Policy to ensure that people with disabilities are given the same opportunity to access and benefit from our goods and services, in the same place and in a similar way as other customers.

The Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (“IASR”) under AODA, which incorporates the remaining 4 accessibility standards, requires us to establish, implement, maintain and document a multi-year accessibility plan which outlines our strategy to prevent and remove barriers for persons with disabilities through the requirements under the IASR.  

The following accessibility standards are applicable to Canadian Tire under the IASR:

1.       General Requirements

2.       Information and Communications

3.       Employment

4.       Design of Public Spaces

In accordance with the IASR, Canadian Tire will:

·         Establish, review and update this Accessibility Plan

·         Post this Accessibility Plan on Canadian Tire’s public website at www.canadiantire.ca

·         Provide this Accessibility Plan in an accessible format, upon request
