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 12,000 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 12,000 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

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 12,000 kilometre usage.
-
At 9,000 kilometres – an Email/SMS notification will let you know
that
you have reached 75% of the annual 12,000 kilometre usage;
-
At 10,800 kilometres – an Email/SMS notification will advise you
that
you have reached 90% of your annual 12,000 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 11,400 kilometres – an Email/SMS notification will let you know
that you are 95% through the use of the annual 12,000 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.

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.
