Welcome to Lincoln Way, a platform that will empower you to rethink the way you travel. These Terms describe programs and features currently available as well as features we expect to add in the future. The Terms apply to all the features described below, but you can check the website and mobile app to see which ones are currently available. Some features may only be available on the App or the Site. Lincoln Way 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.

 

Before we get started, we want you to know how Lincoln Way works and we need you to agree to our Terms. Please review carefully and click I accept to agree. Your acceptance and use of Lincoln Way is your agreement to our Terms.

 

A few important points:

We update Lincoln Way from time to time 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 Lincoln Way again.

 

Because of this, and because of things like network failures, dead batteries, or lost phones, make sure that you can always access your vehicle even if you can’t access Lincoln Way – always take your key or key fob with you, and check your in-vehicle systems if any information in Lincoln Way doesn’t seem right. And only use Lincoln Way when it’s safe to do so.

 

These Terms contain important information about Lincoln Way and Lincoln Access Rewards, as well as disclaimers and other provisions that limit our liability to you. Lincoln Way and Lincoln Access Rewards are services that rely on data from you, your mobile device, and your vehicle, such as location and driving characteristics, so we can deliver you great functionality and services, and communications tailored to your interests. Please see our Privacy Policy below for more information. Further, you agree to make all other drivers, passengers or guests of your vehicle aware of these Terms and subject to these Terms including owner access to Connected Vehicle Information (as defined in Section 2, below). You are solely responsible for the use of Lincoln Way and its features for your vehicle, even if you are not the one using Lincoln Way or features and even if you claim later that another persons’ use was not authorized, and agree only vehicles owned by you or a member of your household may be registered to your Lincoln Way account.

Lincoln Access Rewards Points are not redeemable for cash, check, or any other form of credit. The list of Rewards, the number of Lincoln Access Rewards Points required for a Reward, and the structure of Lincoln Access Rewards may be modified by Lincoln at any time.

    e. Points balances

Any errors or omissions on transactions posted to your Lincoln Access Rewards Points balance must be reported within 60 days from the date of the eligible activity by contacting the Lincoln Access Rewards Centre as noted in the Contact Us section below (see Section 21). Failure to supply necessary documentation may result in an inability to award Lincoln Access Rewards Points. For verification, you should retain all receipts and documentation until your Points are credited to your Lincoln Access Rewards Account.

If you do not receive a Point accrual, Reward, or other benefit, Lincoln’s liability will be limited to the equivalent of that Lincoln Access Rewards Point accrual, Reward, or benefit.

All Lincoln Access Rewards Points are subject to verification at any time for any reason. Lincoln has the right to correct any Lincoln Access Rewards Points posted in error, or as the result of any fraudulent activity, or any activity not in keeping with the letter and/or spirit of these Lincoln Access Rewards Terms, as interpreted by Lincoln in its sole and absolute discretion.

    f. Promotional offers

At any time, Lincoln may issue special promotions that alter the rate at which Lincoln Access Rewards Points are earned, such as multipliers, bonus points, or other promotional offers on certain products, services, days, or portions of any day. We may also offer contests or sweepstakes in association with Lincoln Access Rewards. Lincoln may make such promotional offers to all Lincoln Access Rewards participants, or any subset of them, in its sole and absolute discretion. These Lincoln Access Rewards Terms shall apply to such offers, along with any additional terms and conditions, rules and eligibility criteria that accompany the offer, unless you are notified otherwise.

    g. Lincoln Access Rewards membership cancellation

You may cancel your Lincoln Access Rewards membership at any time by contacting the Rewards Centre at 1-833-502-1690. Any accrued Lincoln Access Rewards Points will immediately be forfeited upon cancellation.

    h. Point expiration and account termination

For members residing outside Quebec:

Your Lincoln Access Rewards Points balance expires and is forfeited when you have not earned Lincoln Access Rewards Points or redeemed Lincoln Access Rewards Points or Lincoln Access Rewards for 365 consecutive calendar days.

If under a promotional offer, we provide you with a gratuitous offer of Lincoln Access Rewards Points, unrelated to any purchase of goods or services by you (“Gratuitous Points”), such Gratuitous Points may expire on any timeline no later than 30 days we disclose to you in association with those Gratuitous Points.

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

For members residing in Quebec:

Your Lincoln Access Rewards Points balance expires and is forfeited when you have not earned Lincoln Access Rewards Points or redeemed Lincoln Access Rewards Points for 365 consecutive calendar days. If your Lincoln Access Rewards Points balance is set to expire, we will send you a notice before 30 and 60 days before this expiry is set to occur. This notice will be sent to the email address we have on file for your account and will state that your inactivity will result in the expiry of your Lincoln Access Rewards Points balance, and the date on which this expiry is set to occur.

If your Lincoln Access Rewards membership is terminated due to fraudulent activity or noncompliance with these Lincoln Access Rewards Terms, you cannot participate in or rejoin Lincoln Access Rewards.

    i. Program changes and program termination

For members residing outside Quebec:

Lincoln reserves the right to change or terminate Lincoln Access Rewards, the Lincoln Access Rewards Terms, or any part thereof, at any time without notice and without further obligations to Lincoln Access Rewards members, including, but not limited to modifications which: (a) govern Lincoln Access Rewards Points earned on and after the date of change; or (b) change the value of Rewards. If the Lincoln Access Rewards program is terminated, in our discretion, all Lincoln Access Rewards Points associated with your Lincoln Access Rewards membership and membership benefits will be forfeited immediately upon termination. No Lincoln Access Rewards Points will be earned or redeemed after the effective date of termination. Any and all changes and/or amendments to these Lincoln Access Rewards Terms will become binding upon all members immediately.

For members residing in Quebec:

Lincoln reserves the right to change or terminate Lincoln Access Rewards, the Lincoln Access Rewards Terms, or any part thereof, at any time. Without limiting the foregoing, we may modify:

a) the eligibility conditions for participation in Lincoln Access Rewards;
b) the manner in which a member participates in Lincoln Access Rewards;
c) the way in which and rate at which Lincoln Access Rewards Points are earned;
d) the way in which and rate at which Lincoln Access Rewards Points are redeemed;
e) the participating dealers;
f) the existence of the Lincoln Access Rewards program; in that we reserve the right to terminate it.

In the event of an amendment to an essential element of the Lincoln Access Rewards or these Lincoln Access Rewards Terms, we will notify you at least 60 days (but not more than 90 days) before the amendment comes into effect. Such notice will be sent to the email address associated to your account, and will set out the new clause, or the amended clause and how it read formerly, and the date on which the amendment will come into effect. If the amendment pertains to a non-essential element of Lincoln Access Rewards or these Lincoln Access Rewards Terms, we will provide you with at least 30 days’ notice, using the email address associated to your account, and setting out the new clause only, or the amended clause and how it read formerly, and the date on which the amendment will come into effect. If the amendment entails an increase in your obligations or a reduction in our obligations, you may refuse the amendment and cancel your participation in Lincoln Access Rewards without cost, penalty or cancellation indemnity, by sending us notice to that effect no later than 30 days after the amendment comes into force, at the address or email address indicated in the notice. You will then have 45 days to redeem any outstanding Lincoln Access Rewards Points. Any Lincoln Access Rewards Points that are not redeemed after 45 days will be forfeited.

If you do not exercise your right to rescind or cancel your participation in Lincoln Access Rewards by sending us notice no later than 30 days after the amendment comes into force, your continued participation in Lincoln Access Rewards after such 30-day delay has expired will constitute your consent to be bound by the amendment.

Notwithstanding the above, we may unilaterally amend for a temporary period of time an essential element of the Lincoln Access Rewards (including, but not limited to, an essential element of these Lincoln Access Rewards Terms) to a member’s advantage.

    j. Transfer of rights

 

Lincoln’s rights and obligations under Lincoln Access Rewards may be assigned or transferred by Lincoln to any other related or unrelated entity at any time, and performances shall be the responsibility of that entity.

    k. Interpretation of Lincoln Access Rewards Terms

All interpretations of these Lincoln Access Rewards Terms will be at Lincoln’s sole discretion and Lincoln’s decisions will be final.

    l. Owner Advantage Rewards members; Service balances

 

Lincoln Access Rewards members who were previously members of the Owner Advantage Rewards program (“OAR”, “OAR Program”) have 550 consecutive calendar days from the launch date of Lincoln Access Rewards and the termination of the OAR Program to accept the Lincoln Way Terms and enroll in Lincoln Access Rewards to transition OAR Service Rewards to Lincoln Access Rewards. OAR Service Rewards will become subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Access Rewards Program, including those relating to the expiry of Points.

FSM Canada reserves the right to change, update, improve, correct, modify, suspend, discontinue or cancel all or part of a Connected Service, including any of its features, programs, functionalities or manners of operation at any time without any notice or obligation to you. Your use of a Connected Service after any changes are implemented will be considered acceptance of such changes. You agree to use the Connected Service for your personal use and shall not use the Connected Service for commercial, business or resale purposes. A Connected Service may not be available during maintenance breaks and other times. We will not be liable to you in the event that any part of the Connected Service provided by us is unavailable or modified in any way.

    a. Ordering: you place your order by completing the check-out process and submitting your order and payment details through your Account online.

    b. Reviewing your order: Before placing your order, the check-out process will give you the opportunity to review and, if necessary, to change your selection and/or correct any errors in your order information. Please take the time to read and check your order at each step of the order process, and to fix any errors before proceeding.

    c. Accepting the terms: You may be asked to confirm that you accept any applicable terms and conditions for your order (“Contract Documents”). If you do not wish to be bound by what you read, you should not place on order.

    d. Acknowledgement of your order: Once you have submitted your order details, you will see an on-screen acknowledgement that your order has been placed. However, please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. FSM Canada’s acceptance of your order will take place as described in Section (f) below.

    e. Acceptance of your order: A confirmation of FSM Canada’s acceptance of your order will be sent to you by email (“Order Confirmation”). Please note that the Contract between you and FSM Canada will only be formed when you receive the Order Confirmation.
