Ford revised its terms regarding automatic renewal and pricing for paid plans. The updated language states that paid plans automatically renew until cancelled and that prices are subject to change. Additionally, Ford removed language requiring a credit card for plan activation and replaced references to 'purchase' with 'a paid plan is required' after the one-year trial period ends. The practical effect is that users with equipped vehicles will transition to automatic paid plans following their trial, with pricing subject to adjustment.
Consumers: Your paid plan will renew automatically and you will be charged recurring fees unless you manually cancel.
Consumers: Ford can increase or change the price you pay for your plan.
Consumers: The terms no longer explicitly state that a credit card is required to activate your plan.
The updated terms establish automatic renewal for paid plans following the one-year trial period, meaning users will be enrolled in recurring billing unless they affirmatively cancel. The revised language also states that prices are subject to change, which means Ford retains the right to adjust fees during the subscription term. Under the updated agreement, equipped Ford vehicle owners transitioning from trial must enroll in a paid plan to continue service access. You can cancel the automatic renewal at any time through your Ford app account to halt recurring charges.
→ Review your Ford app account settings after your one-year trial ends to understand your auto-renewal options and cancellation process.
→ Set a reminder to cancel your paid plan before renewal if you do not wish to be charged recurring fees.
