Your participation in CAA’s MyPace auto insurance billing
plan (“Program”), including the
use of the telematics device (“Device”), is conditional on
your express acceptance of these terms and
conditions.
It is very important that you, as a participant,
read the following so that you
understand how CAA Insurance Company (“CAA”) collects, uses,
safeguards, discloses and retains the
information (“Data”), transmitted by the Device and how your
insurance premium will be calculated and
billed as part of the Program.
The Program is optimal for you if you drive 9,000 kilometres or
less
on an annual basis. You are able to purchase insurance in 1,000 kilometre
increments, within a 12-month policy term thereby controlling your costs
by
driving less, as set forth in Section 4 below. An automatic reload of
1,000
kilometre increments will occur within the 12-month policy term each time
the previous increment has been exhausted. The Device monitors your use of
kilometres and alerts will be sent by CAA when each 1,000 kilometre
increment is close to being exhausted. Please see Section 3 below for more
details.
Participation in the Program is voluntary. You are not
required to participate in the Program in
order to purchase insurance, instead you may choose CAA’s
traditional auto insurance product. By participating
in the Program, you will be voluntarily waiving the right to the monthly
payment options for the kilometre portion
of the premium.
By enrolling in the Program, you consent to receiving electronic
communications from CAA for the purposes of
providing alerts related to your kilometre usage.
If you do not agree with all of these terms and conditions, you
should not participate in the
Program.
-
2.1 Minimum Vehicle Requirements to Participate in the Program
Not all makes and models are eligible to participate in the Program
as some vehicles are not compatible
with
the Device. This includes but is not limited to electric vehicles,
diesel vehicles with a model year 2005
and
older, and all vehicles older than 1997. Some vehicles may be deemed
incompatible due to unforeseen
circumstances after enrolment in the Program.
-
2.2 Installation of Device
The Device must be plugged into your vehicle within 10 days of the
device being received by you, or within
48 hours of your policy effective date, whichever comes first.
-
2.3 Continuous Use of Device
The Program requires the continuous transmission of Data from the
Device to CAA to allow us to accurately
measure the kilometres driven. In order to be eligible for
participation in the Program, the Device must be
plugged into your vehicle 100% of the time during the policy period,
unless otherwise authorized by CAA. You
may remove the Device prior to taking your vehicle in for service or
emission testing. Once the vehicle is
returned to your possession, you must verify that the Device is
reinstalled properly.
-
2.4 Removal from this Program for Non-Compliance
If CAA believes that you have intentionally removed the Device in
order to avoid measuring your kilometre
usage, CAA has the right to remove you from the Program. If CAA
determines that the Device is not plugged in
within 48 hours of the policy effective date (see Section 2.2), or at
any time during the policy term
(except
during vehicle servicing, emissions testing, or as otherwise
authorized by CAA, see Section 2.3), CAA
reserves
the right to remove you from the Program and/or offer you coverage
under CAA’s traditional auto
insurance product.
-
2.5 Device Transfer to a Replacement Vehicle
If you replace the described vehicle in which the Device is
installed with a newly acquired vehicle and
the newly acquired vehicle is insured under this policy, you
will be required to transfer the
Device
from the described vehicle to the replacement vehicle.
Any change in premium resulting from replacing the vehicle will be
calculated by CAA and notice will be
sent
to you separately.
-
2.6 Interaction with your Vehicle’s Battery
Once connected to your vehicle, the Device will use a negligible
amount of current from your
vehicle’s
battery, even when the vehicle is not running.
-
3.1 Program Qualification
CAA MyPace payment program is optimal for you if you drive 9,000
kilometre or less on an annual basis. The
Program is entirely voluntary and is designed to provide flexibility
and choice for you. The Program offers
identical coverage to CAA’s traditional auto insurance product
with the exception of billing you for
kilometre usage.
-
3.2 Program Design
The Program:
-
Requires the installation of a
Telematics device into your vehicles OBDII
port;
-
Allows you to purchase insurance in
1,000 kilometre increments;
-
Is made up of 2 premium components:
-
The kilometre premium portion, which
is the premium portion for coverages
while the vehicle is driven;
- The kilometer portion of your premium requires you to use
your Credit Card or pre-authorized
debit for payment upon exhaustion of each 1,000 kilometre
increment.
-
Non-kilometre premium portion, which
is the premium portion for coverages,
such as, Comprehensive, Accident Benefits, Direct Compensation
- Property Damage;
- The non-kilometre portion of your premium allows you to
choose between two payment options:
- Lump-sum payment; or
- Monthly payment plan.
-
If you reach the same cost as
CAA’s traditional auto insurance product,
the Program allows you the choice to remain in the Program or
transfer your policy without penalty to
CAA’s traditional auto insurance product with a new policy
term.
-
Allows you to carry over unused
kilometres on policy renewal as further
explained in Section 4.5, if you have unused kilometres when the
policy is set to renew.
-
3.3 Limitation of Vehicles
The Program is limited to a maximum of one vehicle per policy.
-
3.4 Purchase of Kilometres
The Program is designed to automatically reload 1,000 kilometre
increments within the 12-month policy term
once the previous increment has been exhausted.
Your payment method on file, such as credit card or pre-authorized
debit will be automatically billed for
the
next 1,000 kilometre increment.
During each 1,000 kilometre increment purchased, you will be notified
via alerts from CAA. Alerts can be
provided to you in one or more of the following forms:
-
Via SMS/Text message;
-
An e-mail;
-
An invoice; and
-
A message on the portal.
You can monitor your usage at any time by logging onto your “My
Account” on www.caamypace.com
(“Online Portal”) and/or using the CAA MyPace
mobile application.
You will be notified four (4) times during each 1,000 kilometre increment
usage:
-
At 750 kilometres – an Email/SMS
notification will let you know that you
have
reached 75% of your 1,000 kilometre increment;
-
At 900 kilometres – an Email/SMS
notification will advise you that you have
reached 90% of your purchased kilometres. In this notification, you
will be given the option to suspend the
billing if you only want to drive up to the 1,000 kilometre purchased
without being charged for a new 1,000
kilometre increment. If CAA determines that the vehicle has been
driven beyond the 1,000 kilometre increment
purchased, CAA will automatically charge your chosen payment option
for the next 1,000 kilometre
increment;
-
At 950 kilometres – an Email/SMS
notification and an Invoice notification
will
let you know that you are 95% through the use of the 1,000 kilometre
purchased. You will be automatically
billed for the next 1,000 kilometre increment. Please see Section 4
below which details how premium is
charged
under the Program; and
-
Upon successful or unsuccessful 1,000 kilometre increment payment – an Email notification
will
let you know that your payment was received successfully or if your
payment was declined.
-
4.1 Premium Components
There are two (2) premium components for the Program. The
first is the premium that you pay for
every 1,000 kilometre purchased. The second is the premium
for the non-kilometre portion for
coverages not related to kilometres driven such as Comprehensive,
Accident Benefits, and Direct Compensation
-
Property Damage.
-
4.2 How is Premium Charged?
There are two payment options available to you for the non-kilometre
portion of the premium with the
Program. At the time of binding the policy you will need to choose
either the lump-sum payment option or the
monthly payment option for the non-kilometre portion of the premium. A
service fee is applicable to the
monthly payment plan option for the non-kilometre portion of the
premium.
At each 1,000 kilometre increment, billing options will either be by
credit card or pre-authorized payment
from your debit card. This is not subject to any service fee from CAA.
Option 1: Lump-sum Payment (for non-kilometre
premium
portion)
At the time of policy issuance you are responsible for the full
payment of the non-kilometre premium
portion
of your insurance, plus the cost of purchasing the first 1,000
kilometre increment.
Example: Cost related to non-kilometre premium
portion of policy is $900 and cost for each
1,000 kilometre increment is $500, purchased twice in the
year.

4.3 Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF)
Should your payment be declined, you will be contacted by CAA for
payment. Failure to reach you and/or to
receive payment will result in:
-
CAA notifying you via email/SMS/registered letter of the missed
payment;
-
For declined 1,000 KM increment payments:
- No action being taken until you drive the 1st kilometre in the
new 1,000 kilometre increment (i.e.,
1,001 kilometre)
- Once the new increment is reached and payment has not been
received, CAA will invoke its
cancellation
process, in accordance with the terms of the policy, which may
result in your policy being cancelled
for
non-payment.
-
For declined non-KM scheduled payments:
- If payment has not been received by the due date, CAA will
invoke its cancellation process, in
accordance with the terms of the policy, which may result in
your policy being cancelled for
non-payment.
-
4.4 CAA MyPace Program cost equals CAA’s traditional auto
insurance product
If CAA has determined that the premium cost for the Program is equal
to CAA’s traditional auto
insurance product, then you will be given the option to cancel and
enter into a new policy under CAA’s
traditional auto insurance product with a new policy term.
You will be notified three (3) times as you approach 9,000 kilometre
usage.
-
At 6,750 kilometres – an
Email/SMS
notification will let you know that you have reached 75% of the
annual 9,000
kilometre usage;
-
At 8,100 kilometres – an
Email/SMS notification will advise you that
you
have reached 90% of your annual 9,000 kilometre usage. In this
notification, you will be given the
option to discuss with a CAA Agent/Broker the best course of
action for you based on your kilometre
usage; and
-
At 8,550 kilometres – an
Email/SMS notification will let you know that
you are 95% through the use of the annual 9,000 kilometre usage.
You will be asked whether you wish to
stay with the Program or transfer to CAA’s traditional
auto insurance product. Should you wish
to
transfer to CAA’s traditional auto insurance product, a
new policy will be issued to you with a
new policy term. Please note that any unused kilometres
from the Program are not transferable
to
CAA’s traditional auto insurance product.
-
4.5 Policy Renewal
You will carry over any remaining unused kilometres from your most
recent 1,000 kilometre increment
purchased
into your renewal term. Billing for the first 1,000 kilometre
increment at the renewal term rates occurs
when
you reach 950 of the 1,000 kilometre increment that was carried over.
If a premium decrease occurs upon renewal resulting in a reduction of
more than $5 in premium for the
carryover kilometres, CAA will issue a premium adjustment. If you are
driving on carried over kilometres
during the new policy term and are involved in an accident, CAA will
provide you with the coverage which has
the greatest protection.
