Terms and Privacy Policy (“Terms”)

Version: 1.9

Effective: January 1,2024

FordPass is a platform that empowers you to rethink the way you travel. Through a collection of current features and programs, and features coming soon, FordPass provides you with more options so you can go further than you thought possible.

Ford is continually working to improve and expand the FordPass programs, features and functionality to meet the everchanging needs of our customers. These Terms describe FordPass programs and features currently available as well as features planned for the future.  The Terms apply to all of the features described below, but you can check the FordPass website and mobile app to see which features are currently available.  Some FordPass features may be available only in the App or on the Site.  FordPass may also integrate with other services or devices, and these features may be subject to separate or supplemental terms or privacy practices – these will be presented to you in connection with that feature.  Check back often as we add new programs and features to understand how you can get the most out of FordPass!

Before we get started, we want you to know how FordPass works and we need you to click “Accept” to accept our Terms. Please review carefully.

A few important points:

· FordPass relies on data from you, your computer or mobile device, and from your vehicle -- such as vehicle location and driving data -- if your vehicle is equipped with connectivity features or technologies and associated to your FordPass account. This is so we can deliver to you great functionality and services, as well as communications tailored to your interests. We may share this information, including with our authorized dealers and affiliates, as described in the FordPass Privacy Policy, which you can read in Section 2 below.

· In addition to App updates and things including but not limited to wireless network strength and availability issues,  dead batteries, or lost phones, make sure that you can always access your vehicle even if you can’t access FordPass – always take your key or key fob with you, and check your in-vehicle systems if any information in FordPass doesn’t seem right.  And only use FordPass when it’s safe to do so.

· Periodically, we update the App to introduce new features or fix issues.  In some cases, you may need to install the newest version of the App before you can use FordPass again.

· Even if you choose the Spanish version of the App, some sections of the App including certain messages regarding vehicle health may be displayed in English.  If you have any questions regarding any such message please contact a Ford Guide.

· These Terms contain important disclaimers and other provisions that limit our liability to you.

In order to register your car with the Vehicle Details feature, you will need to input your VIN number. By registering your vehicle with Vehicle Details you expressly opt-in to receiving notifications, including email, as well as other communications from us related to the My Vehicle feature. If you wish to opt-out of these communications, please contact Ford Guides through FordPass or stop using the Vehicle Details feature by changing your preferences in the settings menu of FordPass. You must be an authorized user of a vehicle in order to link your FordPass account to the VIN of a vehicle you do not own or lease, which may have to be approved by a primary account holder and authenticated in the vehicle. You may remove your VIN from FordPass at any time, however removal of the VIN may affect certain FordPass features.

If equipped, the vehicle status feature may allow you to view certain notifications on FordPass, regarding Vehicle Health Alerts. These alerts may include electric battery health, fuel level, fuel consumption, odometer, tire pressure, VIN number, and other diagnostic information. These notifications should not be used or relied upon in place of normal vehicle maintenance. If at any time you believe there may be an issue or problem with your vehicle, consult with a professional for diagnosis and required maintenance.

If your vehicle has Wi-Fi hotspot functionality and you have activated a data plan, you can view information about your data plan through FordPass.  You must sign up for wireless service directly with your vehicle’s wireless provider, and your provider is solely responsible for the wireless service, subject to separate terms and conditions you agree to when you activate your service, and for the data about your plan available through FordPass.  Always pay careful attention to the road and do not drive distracted. Wi-Fi hotspot intended for passenger use only.

The Vehicle Details feature also may allow for you to view how-to videos about your vehicle. In order to view these videos, FordPass will link to the FordOwner website. This website is operated by Ford but may have unique terms and conditions. Please review the terms and conditions and privacy policy for the FordOwner website prior to viewing any how-to videos. Your use of the how-to videos is at your own risk and we are not liable for any damage to your vehicle or injuries to you or any third party based on your use of the videos. Please use these videos with caution and never attempt to perform vehicle maintenance that may require a professional.

The Monthly Fuel Report feature (“Fuel Report”) provides you with an estimate of your average monthly fuel usage and cost. The purpose of the Fuel Report is to assist you in tracking and comparing your fuel usage on a monthly basis. Your Fuel Report is an estimate only and may differ from in-vehicle fuel reports. Your estimated fuel efficiency is affected by a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, driving behaviors, temperature and weather, road and traffic conditions, and use of air conditioning or other powered accessories.

7. Parking

Parking-related services are limited to informing you of the location and potential availability of parking, and (for certain parking locations, as indicated) enabling you to reserve and pay for parking. We may use third parties to provide these services. We do not, however, sell parking, provide a parking service, operate a parking lot, or otherwise accept custody of motor vehicles. These services are provided by others, such as parking facility owners or operators, and they are in no way our agent or acting on our behalf.

You will be required to set up accounts with third party operators to reserve and pay for parking.

Parking rates are set directly by the parking owner or operator, not us. Reserved rates may differ from drive-up rates (if available), and may be subject to change. You are responsible for paying the actual rates for all parking, including any costs for parking in excess of your booked time.

You are responsible for selecting your parking and compliance with all signs, laws, and regulations relating to parking. You also are responsible for compliance with the agreement with the operator of the parking facility as posted at the location or otherwise provided to you (which agreement will, in all cases, govern the parking arrangement). Allocation of parking spaces is not within our control and we do not guarantee the availability of a specific parking spot. Please use your best judgment when deciding on a parking facility or location and do not park at a facility or location that you do not feel is safe and secure.

We do not represent or warrant the quality, suitability, safety, or security of any parking, and we disclaim all liability arising from any lack of quality, suitability, safety, or security of any parking or otherwise related to your use of parking and parking facilities and locations (including, without limitation, liability regarding the safety or security of persons or property in parking facilities and locations, and the consequences of not being able to park or delays associated with parking). This limitation does not preclude the refunds listed herein or other remedies available to you by law.

8. FordPass Rewards (Not available in Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands)

When you register with FordPass you are automatically enrolled in FordPass Rewards. FordPass Rewards (“FPR”) is brought to you by Ford and participating Ford and Lincoln dealerships (“Dealers”). Participation in FPR is subject to these terms and conditions of Section 8 (collectively, the “FPR Terms”).

a.  MEMBERSHIP

Membership in FPR is open to U.S. residents, excluding residents of U.S. territories, 18 years of age or older, or the age of majority in their place of legal residence, whichever is older. Membership is only open to individuals; companies, groups and organizations cannot be members. You must have a valid email address at the time of enrollment. Your FordPass account email address may only be associated with one FPR member and one membership account (“FPR Account”). Individuals may not have multiple memberships. However, a household may have more than one membership. Individuals who have the same permanent address are members of the same household (“Household”). Memberships cannot be merged or transferred. You may register an eligible vehicle with your FPR Account. Only vehicles which are owned by a member of your Household may be registered to your FPR Account.

b.  EARNING POINTS

FPR allows Members to earn FordPass Rewards Points (“Points”). To earn Points, you must have an active and valid FPR membership at the time you engage in any FPR activity.

Points can be earned through multiple different activities, (“Qualifying Point Activities”), including the purchase of Ford, Motorcraft, or Omnicraft parts, and any associated labor from a Participating Dealer, as well as through use of FordPass and other Ford-related activities. If a Member uses Points to discount the price of a product or service (including but not limited to Recurring Payments), the Member will only earn Points for the net discounted price paid in cash.  Points will not be awarded for paid taxes, fees, or shipping. Click here for more information about earning Points.

Members can also  achieve Tier levels through a variety of Qualifying Tier Activities (“Qualifying Tier Activities”). Click here for more information about Tier levels and Qualifying Tier Activities. Qualifying Point Activities and Qualifying Tier  Activities are collectively referred to as Qualifying Activities (“Qualifying Activities”).

In some cases, a Member may earn both Points and earn activities toward Tier elevation for the same Qualifying Activities. However, some activities may only earn Points and others may only be designated as a Qualifying Tier Activity. FPR may provide bonus Point earning opportunities and Tier Activities to select members at the sole discretion of Ford.

Points will typically be deposited into a[CD(1] n FPR Account within 10 days of confirmation of a Qualifying Activity and Qualifying Tier Activities will be reflected within 60 days[CD(2]  of confirmation of a Qualifying Activity. A qualifying vehicle purchase may take at least sixty (60) days to be deposited or reflected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain Qualifying Activities may require additional time to validate, therefore you should allow additional time for Points and Qualifying Tier Activities to be deposited into or reflected in your FPR Account[NCM3] .

Points and Qualifying Tier Activities are not transferrable.

c.  MEMBERSHIP TIERS

FPR has three Membership Tiers (“Tier(s)”): Bronze, Silver and Blue. Bronze is the entry level Tier. Silver and Blue Tiers may be achieved in a calendar year (“Qualification Year”) by completing Qualifying Tier Activities.

Tier status begins when Qualifying Tier Activities are reflected to your FPR Account based on your Qualification Year activity. You must earn a minimum number of Qualifying Tier Activities (“Qualifying Threshold”) during the Qualification Year to attain or renew Silver or Blue Tier status.

Silver or Blue Tier status is retained for the remainder of the year in which the Qualifying Activity took place, plus the next full calendar year.[NCM4] [MB(5] [MB(6] [NCM7]

d. REDEEMING POINTS

FordPass Rewards Points can be redeemed for various items and services from Ford; for discounts on the purchase of a vehicle, service, parts or accessories at any participating Dealer and on-line; for eligible subscriptions or Recurring Payments; or for any other rewards as determined by Ford (collectively, “Rewards”). Ford reserves the right to modify, add, or remove Rewards redemption options at any time without notice and without further obligations or FPR members.

Points will be subtracted from your FPR Account balance immediately upon completion of the redemption transaction unless otherwise indicated when redeemed. Rewards may be subject to additional terms and conditions, such as expiration dates, refunds or restrictions on use.

Once redeemed, Points cannot be refunded or returned to you, unless otherwise indicated when redeemed.  If returns or refunds are permissible, the return or refund will be governed by the relevant return or refund policy. When you use your Points to pay for a Recurring Payment, you may be eligible to receive a refund of the Points you used towards the Recurring Payment, if the terms for the Recurring Payment provide for a refund. When you use your Points to pay for a Recurring Payment that is non-refundable, you will not be eligible for a refund of your Points.

e.  POINTS VALUE

FordPass Rewards Points do not have any cash value. Points are only a measurement of your activities in FPR and are not considered your property. Points are not redeemable for cash, check, or any other form of credit. All aspects of Points may be modified by Ford at any time, including but not limited to the number of Points required for a Reward, the Qualifying Thresholds, qualification periods, or other aspects of the structure of FPR.

The Qualifying Tier Activities will be reset on January 1 of each calendar year.

You are responsible for verifying that Points and Qualifying Tier Activities are credited to or reflected in your account. All account discrepancies must be reported within 365 days of date of the Qualifying Activity. Ford is not responsible for the delivery of incoming correspondence. You should maintain copies of receipts for your records until proper credit appears in your FordPass Rewards account.

If you do not receive a Point accrual, Reward, Tier elevation, or other benefit or if a Qualifying Tier Activity is not reflected in your account, Ford’s liability will be limited to the equivalent of that Point accrual, Reward, or benefit.

Ford has the right to correct any Points, Qualifying Tier Activity, or Tier elevation posted[CD(11]  in error.

j.  FPR CREDIT CARD

FordPass Rewards Visa® Card

With the FordPass Rewards Visa® Card, you’ll earn FPR Points on every purchase.  Visit www.fordpassrewards.com/VISA for important details.[NCM12] [MB(13] [NCM14]

l. POINT EXPIRATION AND ACCOUNT TERMINATION

Your FordPass Rewards Points balance expires and is forfeited when you have not earned Points, redeemed Points, or fulfilled a reward earned through FPR for two (2) consecutive calendar years.

Participation in FPR is a privilege granted to members, and as such can be suspended, revoked, or terminated at any time by Ford for any reason. If your FPR membership is terminated, all Points associated with your FPR membership and membership benefits, including Tier benefits, will be forfeited immediately upon termination. If your FPR membership is terminated due to fraudulent activity or noncompliance with these FPR Terms, you cannot participate in or rejoin FPR.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, your FordPass account will remain open and active unless discontinued pursuant to Section 1(a).

m.  PROGRAM CHANGES AND PROGRAM TERMINATION

Ford reserves the right to change or terminate FPR, or parts thereof, at any time without notice and without further obligations to FPR members, including, but not limited to modifications which: (a) govern Points, Tier elevation, and Rewards earned on and after the date of change; (b) change the value of Points, Rewards or benefits associated with the different Tiers; (c) change the number of Points required for a Reward, Qualifying Thresholds, or qualification periods; (d) change the list of Rewards; or (e) modify, add, or remove Rewards redemption options.

This section does not affect, and is not intended to affect, any rights that a consumer has that are not able to be excluded under applicable consumer laws.

21. Class or Collective Actions

For purposes of this section: “Us” or “We” shall mean Ford Motor Company, its Assignees, and their employees, directors, officers, agents, predecessors, successors, subsidiaries, and affiliates. “You” shall include yourself, and/or your successors and beneficiaries. “Party” shall mean either You or Us.

AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE: Arbitration is a method of resolving any claim, dispute, or controversy (collectively, a “Claim”) in front of one or more neutral individuals instead of filing a lawsuit in court and having a trial in front of a judge or jury.

Each Party may bring Claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in a class, collective, representative, public injunctive relief, or private attorney general action.  The arbitrator may not preside over any consolidated, representative, class, collective or private attorney general action involving You and Ford.  The arbitrator may award relief only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by the Claims.  The arbitrator cannot, without consent of all parties: 1) combine one claim with another, 2) facilitate notification to others of potential claims, or 3) arbitrate any type of representative or multi-plaintiff proceeding.

If the bar to Claims or remedies for public injunctive relief or private attorney general actions is held unenforceable, You and Ford agree any such Claims or remedies shall be severed and stayed before a Court with applicable jurisdiction pending final resolution of the arbitration on any remaining Claims or remedies subject to arbitration.

22. Miscellaneous

These Terms together with any additional terms to which you agree when using particular elements of FordPass or FordPass Rewards constitute the entire agreement regarding FordPass, FordPass Rewards and any services. Unless and to the extent local law requires otherwise, these Terms are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Michigan, except in relation to any conflict of law provisions thereof. Unless local law mandates otherwise, all lawsuits arising from or relating to these Terms shall be brought in the Federal or State courts located in Wayne County, Michigan. If a court determines that any term or condition in these Terms is illegal or unenforceable, then such term will be eliminated and the remaining terms and conditions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect.
