  9. One of these two CAMVAP Statements in large bold print:
    1. If CAMVAP is available:

      CANADIAN MOTOR VEHICLE ARBITRATION PLAN
      The Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan may be available to resolve disputes concerning alleged manufacturer’s defects or implementation of the manufacturer’s new motor vehicle warranty.
    2. If CAMVAP is NOT available:

      CANADIAN MOTOR VEHICLE ARBITRATION PLAN NOT AVAILABLE
      The manufacturer of this vehicle is not a participant in the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan.
      Therefore, the program under that Plan is not available to resolve disputes concerning alleged manufacturer’s defects or implementation of the manufacturer’s new motor vehicle warranty.

    3. Note: CAMVAP Statements are required only if the vehicle is the current model year or one of the previous four, or has been driven less than 160,000 km.
  10. If a current Safety Standards Certificate under the Highway Traffic Act is provided for the vehicle, the following Safety Standards Certificate Statement in bold print:

    SAFETY STANDARDS CERTIFICATE
    A Safety Standards Certificate is only an indication that the motor vehicle met certain basic standards of vehicle safety on the date of inspection.
  11. All restrictions, limitations and conditions imposed on the lessee, stated in a clear, comprehensible and prominent manner.
  12. Any required disclosure statement related to a vehicle’s previous use, history and/or condition.
  13. A statement of all particular facts, if any, respecting the vehicle that the lessee considers material to the lease.
  14. If the lessee is a consumer, the dealer (other than a Fleet Lessor) must provide the information required in the “Lease Disclosure Statement” (LDS) of Section 79 of the Consumer Protection Act. The LDS provides the lessee with full disclosure of payment terms including monthly payments, interest rate, term, total payments and other charges.
  15. The dealer is responsible for ensuring the contract is signed by the parties and the salesperson, and that the lessee receives a copy immediately after signing. If the vehicle being leased is used, the dealer must also ensure the lessee receives a copy of the current Safety Standards Certificate.
