Summary
Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

This document sets out the rules governing your use of Ford's platforms. Ford can change these rules at any time without telling you. Any legal disputes are handled under Michigan law, no matter where you are located.

Analysis

These Terms and Conditions establish the governing legal framework for Ford Motor Company's relationship with users of its platforms. Ford and its affiliates reserve the right to modify the Terms at any time without prior notice to users. All disputes and interpretations are governed exclusively by Michigan law, with conflict-of-laws principles expressly set aside.

What this means for you

As a user, you are bound by whatever version of the Terms is currently in effect, even if Ford changes them without notifying you. Disputes over the Terms will be resolved under Michigan law. Because changes can be made without notice, checking the Terms periodically is the only way to stay aware of your current obligations and rights.

What changed Ford removed extensive cookie consent and privacy preference language from its Terms and Conditions. The updated document previously included detailed disclosures about cookie usage, targeted advertising, data sharing with partners, opt-out mechanisms, and support for Global Privacy Control signals. The revised version retains only a basic reference to redirect users to a separate privacy policy, eliminating the inline cookie settings, opt-out toggles, and preference management interface that were previously embedded in the terms.
Why this matters The updated Terms and Conditions remove inline cookie consent disclosures, preference toggles, and opt-out mechanisms that were previously embedded in the document. Users are now directed to a separate privacy policy for information about cookies, tracking technologies, data sharing with advertising and analytics partners, and opt-out options. The removal of the inline Cookie Preference Center and Global Privacy Control documentation means these controls are no longer described within the terms themselves, though Ford states they remain available through the redirected privacy policy.

What changed Ford revised its paid plan terms for connected vehicle services. The updated language states that paid plans automatically renew until cancelled and that prices are subject to change. Previously, the terms required a credit card for plan activation and stated automatic renewal unless cancelled. Additionally, the language describing trial eligibility was changed from 'purchase is required' after the one-year trial to 'a paid plan is required,' clarifying that subscription continuation is mandatory for continued service access.
Why this matters The updated terms clarify that paid plans for Ford connected vehicle services automatically renew until cancelled and that prices are subject to change. After the included one-year trial period ends, a paid plan is required to continue accessing connected features. The revised language makes explicit what was previously stated in different terms: automatic renewal is the default, and users must actively cancel to stop charges.
