Canadian Law. We have a strong Consumer Protection policy laid down
federally. That's why Electronic Manufacturers have to give us a year
before we bring it to the Landfill. We don't bow to big
business....hehe.

The credit card companies here had their own rule that you could not
charge
a different price for other methods of payment or they would cancel your
account. There was a lawsuit and the credit card companies lost so we
can
charge different amounts depending on method of payment. Are you sure
that
it is a law?
