• withdraw from an agreement to buy securities (including mutual funds) within two business days after receiving the prospectus;
• cancel the purchase of mutual funds within 48 hours after receiving confirmation of purchase;
• cancel the purchase of a mutual fund if the disclosure documents such as the simplified prospectus, annual information form, Fund Facts document or financial statements contain a misrepresentation or if the dealer did not send or deliver the prospectus in compliance with the regulations; or
• make a civil claim for rescission or damages if the disclosure documents contain a misrepresentation or if the dealer did not send or deliver the prospectus in compliance with the regulations.
