**While we have attempted to demonstrate the potential value of annual benefits which could be earned by an average small business in Canada using the Citi STAPLES easyRewards Business MasterCard (the "Card") relying on research materials and assumptions which we believe to be reasonable, reliable and relevant, the value of actual annual benefits your business may earn will vary depending on your business' annual spending amounts and patterns using the Card.
