DESCRIPTION OF THE 5 YEAR NO CHARGE
1. The Foundation provides the Winner with a package of home-related benefits for a period of five (5) years (hereinafter referred to as "The 5-Year Free").
The Winner will take possession of the property when the Foundation deems the construction of the House to be completed to the Winner's satisfaction, and the beginning of the 5-year no-cost period will be the date the keys to the House are physically handed over by the Foundation to the Winner (hereinafter referred to as the "Possession Date"). The Foundation assumes no responsibility for any delay caused by any event beyond its control including but not limited to strikes, fire, explosion, etc.
2. In this document, the term "year" means twelve (12) months from the date of taking possession of the house.
3. The benefits offered are as follows:
MUNICIPAL AND SCHOOL TAXES
The Foundation will pay the cost of municipal and school taxes for a maximum amount and a maximum period of sixty (60) months from the date the Winner takes possession of the house. The Winner must present his tax bills to the Maurice Tanguay Foundation office and the Foundation will pay these bills, without exceeding the maximum amount.
The maximum amount paid per year by the Foundation will be six thousand three hundred and sixty dollars ($6,360) for a period of 5 years from the date of taking possession of the House, for a grand total maximum of thirty-one thousand eight hundred dollars ($31,800).
If the last year of the 5-year free ride ends prior to December 31 of the current calendar year, a fee adjustment will be made accordingly between the Foundation and the Winner.
Should the Winner add any outbuildings to the property, such as a pool, shed, etc., and these additions increase the assessment of the property, the Foundation will not be responsible for the payment of any additional taxes generated by these improvements and the Winner will be responsible for paying the taxes for the portion of the improvements made.
To be eligible for this benefit, the Winner must live in the 2016 Tanguay House. This benefit is refundable as per clause 6 of this document.
ELECTRICITY AND HEATING
The Winner shall present his electricity bills to the Maurice Tanguay Foundation office and the Foundation shall pay these bills, taking into account the study/evaluation made by Hydro-Quebec for the Foundation, which shows that a maximum amount of four thousand five hundred ($4,500) per year, all taxes included, is sufficient to cover the cost of electricity, including the heating of the house. The maximum amount paid by the Foundation will therefore be limited to this amount, for a period of five (5) years, starting from the date of taking possession of the house, for a grand total maximum of twenty-two thousand five hundred dollars ($22,500).
The Foundation delivers to the winner a single-family home with no outbuildings. It is understood that any excess electricity and heating costs required for outbuildings, such as a pool, shed, etc., or modifications made to the building by the Winner that increase the cost of electricity and/or heating of the property above the maximum amount will be the responsibility of the Winner or the owner.
To be eligible for this benefit, the Winner must live in the 2016 Tanguay House. This benefit is refundable as per clause 6 of this document.
TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP
The transfer of title to the property to the Winner will be made before a notary from the firm of Gosselin, Lagueux, Roy in Levis and all costs will be borne by the Foundation (value of $700).
4. In the event of the death of the Winner during the 5-year free period, the Foundation may require that only one (1) person be involved and the owners will be required to appoint an agent to represent them with the Foundation.
5. The Foundation reserves the right to pay in one (1) installment, at any time during the 5-year free period and at its sole discretion, the amount of the Foundation's estimate (see clause 6 below) of the cost of the benefits offered or any unpaid balance at the time of payment, and the homeowner shall give final release of all obligations to the Foundation.
6. In the event that the Foundation applies clause 5, the Foundation will compensate the Winner with a cheque for the value of the tax and heating benefits according to the table below:
1st year: $55,000
2nd year: $44,000
3rd year: $33,000
4th year: $22,000
5th year: $11,000
less any amounts incurred by the Foundation for such services since the beginning of the year in which the sale is to take place, which is accepted by the Winner, with final release by the Winner to the Foundation of all obligations to the Winner, upon receipt of the agreed amount.
7. Notwithstanding the conditions listed above, the Foundation also offers the Winner the option of releasing the Foundation from its 5-year obligations at no cost in consideration of the payment of fifty-five thousand dollars ($55,000 ) upon signing the notarized contract. In this case, the Winner will have to give the Foundation a final release of all its obligations, thus freeing the Foundation from all its commitments towards the Winner and any eventual buyer.
