You can now get the card at loblawcard.ca

I am curious, in the Release section, I found the following interesting. Is it saying that by receiving the Card, you can only participate in the Class Action but not do anything on your own?
When I first read it, I almost thought the two paragraphs contradicted each other.

In exchange for this twenty-five (25) Canadian Dollar Loblaw Card you hereby release and forever discharge Loblaw (“Loblaw” includes Loblaw Companies Limited, its parent corporation George Weston Limited and their affiliates as well as all of their current and former officers, directors, and employees) from any and all claims or causes of action (of whatever nature or kind) for damages, costs or other relief that you may have relating to or otherwise in connection with any overcharge on the price of packaged bread in the period between January 1, 2002 and March 1, 2015, to the extent of twenty-five dollars.

Agreeing to this release will not impact your right to participate in any class actions relating to an overcharge on the price of packaged bread. However, doing so will mean that twenty-five (25) dollars will be deducted from any compensation that you may otherwise be entitled to receive in any class action judgment against, or settlement with, Loblaw relating to any overcharge on the price of packaged bread in the period between January 1, 2002 and March 1, 2015.

I ain't no lawyer, but doesn't the 2nd paragraph contradict the first?

It sounds like the release just protects Loblaws from paying the $25 twice should they lose any lawsuit (individual or class action)over this issue. I still don’t get why they aren’t being criminally charged. I mean, they “cooperated” in the investigation by ratting out a competitor and now are bribing customers with a card that can only be used at Loblaws (when the excess money spent on bread as a result of their price fixing could have been spent anywhere). Pretty sweet deal for Loblaws.
