The new MVDA became law January
1,
2010. Under the MVDA
changes are required to the
bills of sale used by registered
dealers. These changes include
the requirement to include
OMVIC’s logo and contact
information.
When using OMVIC’s logo on
bills of sale, dealers will need
to keep a few things in mind:
The OMVIC logo cannot be used in a manner
that would lead the buyer
to believe a dealership is being
endorsed by OMVIC.
OMVIC's contact information
should be clear and easy for th
consumer to read. The Regulations
in the MVDA describe what is needed concerning this. Regulations
can be viewed on the MVDA
page
for details.
The colour of OMVIC's logo (found
on our logo download page) is
reflex blue, but printing the
logo in black is acceptable.
Dealer associations may have
bills of sale available for
dealer use.
A section of the Regulations
is provided below, but you are
encouraged to review the
Regulations in their entirety.
Note:
Please refer to Section 39,
subsection (2), (4) and (5) of
the Regulations for information
on contracts for sales of new
motor vehicles. Please refer to
Section 40 for information on
used vehicle contracts and
Section 41 for information on
leasing contracts.
In Section 39, subsection (4)
a statement must be made
concerning OMVIC, that statement
is as follows:
Important Information Respecting

any concerns with this sale, you
should first contact your motor

Vehicle Dealers Compensation Fund

from this trade and if your
dealer is unable or unwilling to
make good on the loss.
You may have additional rights at
law.
Section 39, subsection (5)
mentions what information to
