  1. In order to be eligible for Silver Membership, an applicant must:

    1. Be a full-time, self-employed individual, or an employee of a professional imaging business, who has a direct role in the creation of moving or still images for third parties on a professional basis.

    2. Be a legal resident of the 50 United States, or the District of Columbia, who is at least 18 years of age at the time of enrollment. Residents of Puerto Rico and Guam, and other U.S. territories not referenced in the preceding sentence, and any non-US territories, are not eligible for membership in the CPS Program (“Ineligible Territories”).

    3. Have earned ten (10) Product Points under the CPS Program (Product Points are earned based on the eligible products you purchase. Point values for individual products are subject to change without notice).
       
  2. All applications are subject to approval by Canon U.S.A., Inc. (“Canon”), in its sole discretion. Canon reserves the right to confirm that the prospective member’s application information is accurate and may require additional proof upon request. Canon may reject any applicant in its sole discretion, with or without reason. Applicants are not eligible for membership if they have been previously expelled or terminated from any current or previous Canon program including the current, and any predecessor, CPS Program.

  3. Applicant hereby represents and warrants that all information submitted with their application is true, accurate, and up to date (including any contact or payment information). Any misrepresentation may result in immediate termination of membership with no refund of the annual membership fee.

  4. If accepted into the CPS Program, Canon will provide the benefits specific to the Silver Membership level as detailed in the Benefits Section below. If Member desires to upgrade their CPS Program Membership level, they must reapply for such upgraded level and pay the full amount of the upgraded membership fee. There will be no credit or refund for the current membership level.

  5. CPS Membership Cancellations and Refunds. You may cancel your CPS Membership at any time, however you are only entitled to a refund if you cancel within the first fourteen (14) days of enrolling. Once you are issued a refund, you will no longer have access to your CPS Membership. If you have already requested and/or utilized any benefits of CPS Membership, you are not entitled to a refund of your initial CPS Membership fee, regardless of when you cancel. If you cancel your CPS Membership after the first fourteen (14) days of enrollment, you will not be entitled to a refund, but you will continue to have access to your CPS Membership through the end of your current annual billing period. To cancel your CPS Membership, you must call the CPS Membership Team at 1-888-CPS-4540. Your CPS Membership will only automatically renew at the end of the Membership period if you have enrolled in the Automatic Renewal option. Visit your CPS Account Profile to learn more about your CPS Membership, manage your CPS Membership settings, or to cancel your Automatic Renewal. If you cancel your CPS Membership, you will still have access to your CPS Account (but not to the benefits of Membership). We may terminate, restrict, or suspend your access to your CPS Membership without credit or refund to you for any reason in our sole discretion, including if we determine that your activity violates these Terms, is improper, involves fraud or misuse, or harms or interferes with our or any other person’s interests. In the event you move to an Ineligible Territory during your CPS Membership term, your CPS Membership will be terminated and you will not be entitled to a refund (unless you move to an Ineligible Territory and request to cancel your CPS Membership during the first fourteen (14) days of enrollment, in which case you will qualify for a refund in accordance with the terms stated above).

  6. Automatic Renewal. At any time during your membership in the CPS Program, You can elect to automatically renew your CPS Membership (“Automatic Renewal”). The initial term of enrollment in the CPS Program is one (1) year from the date applicant accepts the Terms and Conditions and pays the membership fee (although some benefits may start 24 hours after the start of such initial term). If you choose to elect the Automatic Renewal option then at the conclusion of the initial term, your membership will automatically renew for another one (1) year term (the initial term and all renewal terms are collectively referred to herein as the “Term”) unless you cancel the Automatic Renewal feature before the end of the then current Term. Before you are automatically billed on the renewal date indicated in your “Canon Professional Services Profile”, see CPS Account profile, we will notify you via email of your upcoming renewal and the applicable membership fee (if any) before the renewal occurs. You will have the opportunity to cancel your Automatic Renewal feature before your membership is renewed. Cancelling your Automatic Renewal feature will not cancel the current term of your CPS membership which can only be cancelled as set forth above in paragraph 5. Canon assumes no responsibility or liability for our failure to contact you if your CPS Account profile contact information changes or becomes out of date. Credit cards are the only valid form of payment for our auto-renewal services (debit card, check cards or “ATM” cards are not accepted). We will charge the credit card listed in our subscription manager at the time of auto-renewal. Your initial sign-up is an authorization for us to use the credit card in our subscription manager to pay for your initial membership subscription and any subsequent membership renewal. By enrolling in Automatic Renewal, you understand your membership will automatically renew and you authorize Canon to collect the then-applicable membership fee, using the credit card found in the subscription manager. You also understand that if you would like to cancel your Automatic Renewal, you must notify us prior to the expiration of the current Term by: 1) updating your CPS Account profile; 2) calling our CPS Membership team at 1-888-CPS-4540; or 3) by following the instructions set forth in any email notifications sent by the CPS team.


  7. Applicant hereby represents and warrants that all information submitted with their application is true and accurate. Any misrepresentation may result in immediate termination of membership with no refund of the annual membership fee.

  8. Payment for Your Membership. You must maintain accurate and up-to-date credit card or other payment information in your CPS Account profile.
