5. PROGRAM POLICIES
Customer/Sponsor Obligations and Rules
It is a direct violation of the program rules to provide PINs to customers referred to the sponsor by a dealership employee or to use a dealership employee as a broker to locate X-Plan customers. In other words, you may not use a dealership or dealership employee to find customers, and you may not sell PINs to a dealership or dealership employee. In fact, selling PINs to anyone is a violation of Plan rules and is strictly prohibited. Violations of these rules will result in suspension of X-Plan eligibility (sponsor and/or company).
Vehicles purchased or leased by customers sponsored by a Partner Recognition employee/retiree count against the number of vehicle sales which an employee/retiree may sponsor during any calendar year.
Any solicitation or acceptance of money, items of value or discounts off the New Vehicle Purchase Program price not defined in this document from a dealership or anyone connected with or acting on behalf of the dealership in connection with the purchase or lease of a vehicle under the New Vehicle Purchase Program, is contrary to the Plan's provisions and to Ford Motor Company policy and is prohibited.
If after ordering a vehicle under the terms of the New Vehicle Purchase Program, the customer cannot take delivery from the designated dealership, the customer must promptly advise the proper dealership representative, and the customer must refrain from signing any dealership document indicating acceptance or delivery of the vehicle.
X-Plan customers are required to arbitrate warranty-related disputes via the Dispute Resolution Program (DRP) before initiating or proceeding with legal action. Failure to seek resolution of warranty-related disputes via the DRP before initiating legal action may result in the suspension of Purchase Plan privileges for sponsor and/or company.
The Dispute Resolution Program (DRP) process is a cost-free program available to
owners or lessees of qualifying Ford Motor Company vehicles. The program is
independently owned administered by the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Service or
product performance complaints involving Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln cars, vans, sport
utilities and light trucks, which are within the terms of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty,
are eligible for DRP review. The Warranty Guide provided with all new Ford, Lincoln, and
Mercury vehicles at delivery contains important information about customer assistance
and the Dispute Resolution Program. For more information about the program, call the
BBB Auto Line at 1-800-428-3718, or the Ford Customer Relationship Center at 1-800-
392-3673.
Failure to seek resolution of warranty-related disputes via the DRP process before
initiating legal action may result in the suspension of Purchase Plan privileges (as noted
under "What if a Customer Ignores the Conditions?").
Dealership Obligations and Rules
Participating dealerships agree to comply with all of the terms outlined in this document, including the Red Carpet Lease Option provisions. Authorized Ford, Lincoln-Mercury, Jaguar, Volvo, Land Rover, and Mazda dealerships are encouraged, but not obligated, to participate in the New Vehicle Purchase Program. Participating dealerships must sign a Dealer Agreement located on the AXZD-Plan Pricing Agreement on each New Vehicle Purchase Program sale or Red Carpet Lease.
Dealerships must be authorized dealers ("under their Sales and Service Agreement(s)") for the product being sold.
The AXZD-Plan Pricing Agreement must identify the X-Plan price, the price of each dealer-added option, negative equity on trade, gifts, and any other allowable fees and taxes. A copy of the factory invoice showing the New Vehicle Purchase Program price in the box labeled ”X-Plan" (not displayed for Jaguar, Land Rover, or Mazda (S-Plan)) and a completed, signed copy of the AXZD-Plan Pricing Agreement must be given to the customer.
All commission claims are subject to future audit and possible charge back to the dealership. Participating Dealerships agree to make available such dealership records to the extent considered necessary by Ford Motor Company for audit of the transactions claimed under the New Vehicle Purchase Program. Dealers must retain all records and documents, including AXZD-Plan Pricing Agreement, journals and ledgers, which relate in any way, in all or in part, to covered transactions- for at least two years.
All sales or lease contracts with Purchase Plan customers will be conducted by an employee of the participating dealership. Commissions to dealerships will be withheld or charged back if non-employees, including brokers, or agents are used to participate in Plan transactions in any capacity.
What if a Customer Ignores the Conditions?
The purchase, lease and disposal of vehicles under the New Vehicle Purchase Program are monitored regularly for abuse through a computerized system. Customers who do not comply with the requirements noted above will be contacted and asked to explain the circumstances involved.
The privilege to participate may be withdrawn or suspended if Ford Motor Company determines that the employee or retiree has violated the provisions of the New Vehicle Purchase Program or Ford Motor Company policy. The employee, retiree or surviving spouse may be required to reimburse the Ford Motor Company for the full amount of the dealer commission paid.
NOTE: Even if the customer who violates these provisions is not a Company employee, the sponsoring employee or retiree is responsible and subject to the above sanctions.
Dealer-to-Customer Gifts and Fees
The following are guidelines regarding what is, and is not, permissible.
Nominal Gifts
Unless prohibited by your state law, X-Plan customers may accept items or services of nominal value (i.e. $50 or less dealership cost) as a gift or reward in connection with an X- Plan sale or lease. All gifts or rewards offered by the dealership for sponsoring an X-Plan sale or lease must be comparable with gifts or rewards offered by the dealership on retail sales or leases, and may not exceed $50 in value (dealership cost).
Examples of acceptable gifts include a wall calendar, Motorcraft apparel, gas card, an oil change, a car wash, etc, provided the item or service does not exceed $50 in value (dealership cost).
Dealerships may not offer services or items below their market value (dealership cost) to stay within the $50 limit (i.e. $1 for rust proofing or $10 for a bed liner).
No service, accessory or items valued above $50 may be accepted by an X-Plan customer, even if the same offer is extended to non-Plan customers.

Unless otherwise provided by state or local laws or regulation: In states where dealers are not permitted to charge as much as $75 for doc fees, dealers would be capped at the lesser amount as provided by the state. In states that permitted more than $75, dealers would be permitted to charge the Plan customer $75. In states that permitted more than $75 and also required that all customers be charged the same amount, dealers may charge the Plan customer $75 and indicate any additional fees have been paid by Ford Motor Company as part of the AXZD-Plan Program dealer reimbursement on the buyer's order.
Doc Fee Charges should be detailed on the AXZD Plan Pricing Agreement located in number 4.
Mazda dealerships may charge reasonable and customary document preparation and/or administrative service fees for S-Plan sales. Please review all fees with your Mazda sales consultant and be sure you understand and agree prior to completing a sale.

I see California is a state that requires a front plate (so is my state, Virginia)... now is the time to stop your dealer from drilling the front bumper if you don't want them to. I went with a bracket from Craig's Custom Mustang Brackets for my GT/CS.
Here are a few pics:

The problem was that the prep crew wasn't informed. They got the car, saw that it was already sold, and moved it to the top of the list to get prepped. My bumper was drilled less than 15 minutes after it arrived at the dealer.
My dealer stepped up, fixed the holes and repainted the bumper. Now I don't even have the dimples that were there originally as a guide.
This could have been avoided if the person that gets the keys from the delivery driver knew about it (my dealer now has a new policy in place to handle these types of requests).
Mine said the same thing, they send the bracket with the car, that's all. It's up to the dealer to do the installation.

Fastrack here, (Ben) makes a great front plate bracket.
Craigs is IMO just a poor imitation

I don't happen to agree. The Mustang bracket I have looks as well made as the one you mentioned. Once it's on the car, you're going to have about the same look. The attached pictures exagerate it a bit because of the angles used to take them.
This'll be my last post on this subject in this thread... I'll let it get back on topic...
