SCHEDULE

CONSUMER'S RIGHT TO CANCEL

A TRAVEL CLUB CONTRACT

The Travel Clubs Regulation specifies that a consumer who enters into a

travel club contract may cancel the contract from the day it is entered

into until 10 days after the consumer receives a copy of the signed

contract. A consumer does not need a reason to cancel the contract.

If a consumer cancels a travel club contract within the 10-day period

described above, the travel club operator has 15 days to refund the

consumer's money. To cancel, the consumer must give a notice of

cancellation to the travel club operator by any means that enables the

consumer to prove that notice was given, including registered mail,

facsimile, courier or personal delivery.

A consumer may be entitled to additional cancellation rights in accordance

with the Travel Clubs Regulation.

A consumer who wishes more information about cancelling a travel club

contract or who feels unfairly treated with regard to a travel club

contract may contact Alberta Government Services at 427-4088, or toll-free

at 1-877-427-4088 if calling from outside Edmonton.
