These terms and conditions ("BRP Terms and Conditions") govern the participation of all Purolator business account customers who are enrolled in the Purolator Business Rewards Program ("BRP" or the “Program”). Tendering Shipments to Purolator at a Fixed Discount (as defined below) constitutes your acceptance of these BRP Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these BRP Terms and Conditions, it is your responsibility to advise Purolator that you no longer wish to participate in the Program. Purolator reserves the right to make any additions, deletions or modifications to these BRP Terms and Conditions at any time.
The Purolator Terms and Conditions in effect at the time a Shipment is tendered to Purolator (including payment terms and limitations on our liability described in the Purolator Terms and Conditions), apply to such Shipments.

Fixed Discount
You shall receive a discount off of the List Rates (the “Fixed Discount”), in accordance with these BRP Terms and Conditions. It will be Purolator’s sole discretion to choose the fixed discount rate, and time period during which the discount shall apply, for each eligible account customer.
The discounted amount will be reflected on your invoice. No BRP discounts will be applied to any shipping charges incurred prior to your Date of Enrolment.
Surcharge Discounts
At Purolator’s discretion, your Fixed Discount may also be applied to select Purolator Specialized Service charges, administrative charges and shipping charges (as such terms are defined in the Purolator Terms and Conditions) that may be applied to a Shipment (“Approved Additional Charges”).
Discretionary Discounts
You may, from time to time while you are enrolled in this Program, receive additional discounts or promotions as determined by Purolator in its sole discretion on Eligible Shipments (“Discretionary Discounts”). Any Discretionary Discounts will either be applied in lieu of your Fixed Discount or in addition to your Fixed Discount. Where such Discretionary Discount is applied at the Date of Enrolment or at any other time while you are enrolled in the Program, such Discretionary Discount will be applied in lieu of the Fixed Discount that you would have been entitled to receive under the Program for the period over which the Discretionary Discount applies. Upon the expiry of such Discretionary Discount, your Fixed Discount may be reinstated. Where such Discretionary Discount is applied in addition to your Fixed Discount, Purolator may fix your Fixed Discount for the entire period over which the Discretionary Discount is offered to the Fixed Discount you were entitled to at the date the Discretionary Discount offer begins. Please note that the terms of each Discretionary Discount for which you are eligible will be communicated to you at the time such Discretionary Discount is offered to you.
Invoice Errors or Discrepancies
You should call Small Business Sales Professionals at 1 888 529-9777 to report any Program-related errors or discrepancies on your invoice within ninety (90) days of the date of the invoice, after which time you will be deemed to have accepted such invoice. Purolator will investigate such reported Program-related errors and discrepancies and make any corrections, adjustments or modifications deemed necessary using the Fixed Discount that applied at the time the Shipment(s) to which the error or discrepancy relates occurred.
To report non-Program related errors or discrepancies on your invoice, please call the number on your invoice.
Restrictions
Unless you are eligible to receive Discretionary Discounts, the Fixed Discounts offered through this Program cannot be combined with any other Purolator discounts, promotions, rebate or reward programs, savings plans or waivers that may be available to you from Purolator or through any authorized Purolator representative. By participating in this Program you hereby: (i) agree to waive any non-Program discounts that you may have been entitled to receive from the Date of Enrolment, and (ii) acknowledge and agree that your enrolment in any other Purolator savings, reward, rebate or other similar type of program in which you may have previously been enrolled will cease to be effective at the Date of Enrolment.
Purolator reserves the right to remove you from the Program if you are authorizing others to ship Eligible Shipments under your Approved Account Number for the purpose of benefiting from the consolidation of such other Shipments that are tendered to us, or you are otherwise acting as an express delivery consolidator.
Associations and buying groups are also not eligible to participate in the Program.
