1. e-DEPOSITS
The payment of an "e-Deposit" allows you to reserve a specific Audi vehicle that is featured on this Website (a "Vehicle") by a participating, independently-operated Audi dealership in Canada (a "Dealer").
We reserve the right to refuse access to the Services to anyone, at any time, for any reason.
All prices shown on this Website are quoted in Canadian dollars and reflect the selling prices as set by Dealer, and include applicable fees such as freight and PDI, environmental levies (for new vehicles) and any dealer administration fees, but do not include any applicable sales taxes.
When placing an e-Deposit on a Vehicle:
Under no circumstances will Audi be responsible: (i) for any charges that your credit card issuer may apply to you as a result of our processing your e-Deposit; (ii) if your credit card issuer refuses or fails to authorize payment by you; or (iii) for any delays in the purchase or non-availability of the Vehicle that you endeavored to reserve arising from any validation checks that may be carried out regarding your payment or identification.
Once processed (by our third party service providers), your e-Deposit will be paid directly to your selected Dealer and shall be applied to the potential purchase price of your reserved Vehicle. Please note, however, that:
Please note that you may not sell, give-away, or otherwise transfer your e-Deposit to another person, entity or organization.
2. SERVICE LIMITATIONS

3. CANCELATIONS AND REFUNDS
Your e-Deposit is fully refundable. Refunds of the e-Deposit will be processed by your selected Dealer and returned to the same credit card used to pay the e-Deposit. Alternatively, you may elect to have your selected Dealer apply the funds to the purchase of a different Audi vehicle.
Audi reserves the right to cancel your e-Deposit (and corresponding Vehicle reservation) for any reason, including due to your non-compliance with these Terms and Conditions.
Please note that your selected Dealer reserves the right to cancel your e-Deposit (and corresponding Vehicle reservation) for any reason, including: (i) an inability to contact you; (ii) an inability to fulfill the requested Vehicle, (iii) your inability to complete the purchase of the Vehicle within a reasonable time; or (iv) any other reasonable occurrence beyond your selected Dealer’s control.
