FORD is providing the website solely to facilitate an efficient and easy means for customers to order parts from participating dealers. FORD is not a party to the transaction between you and your dealer, nor does it control the dealer's customer pricing.
You agree to comply with all applicable export and re-export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and trade and economic sanctions maintained by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, in regard to products purchased on this website. You specifically acknowledge and understand that products offered on this website are subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations.

FORD reserves the right to change, suspend or discontinue all or any aspects of this website at any time without prior notice. FORD, as website administrator and parts manufacturer, or your dealer may make changes to any products or services offered on this website, or to the applicable prices for any such products or services, without notice at any time prior to placement of your order. The products and services listed on this website may not be up to date, and FORD and your dealer are not obligated to update them. The products and services offered or referred to on this website are subject to availability and are subject to change without notice.
Tampering with the site, misrepresenting your or any other user's identity, using buying agents or conducting fraudulent or illegal activities on the website are prohibited. You agree not to use any robot, spider, automated technology, device, or manual process to monitor or copy the information contained on this website and you will not use any of the same to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of this website.
Pricing
Your dealer, not FORD, is the seller of the parts on this website and all customer prices are set by each individual dealer. All transactions are solely between your dealer and you, the customer. FORD is not a party to the transaction between you and your dealer and does not have any input into or control over the dealer's customer pricing.
Unless noted otherwise, the price displayed for products on this website represents the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) listed on the product itself or estimated in accordance with standard industry practice. These prices do not include materials/handling fees, labor, taxes or any other fees that may apply. Your dealer is solely authorized to set prices for the product and services, by either accepting the MSRP or setting customer pricing, and for any applicable fees including but not limited to those mentioned herein. Prices are subject to change without notice.
The price of an item will not be confirmed until you order. Further, your credit card will NOT be charged until after your order has been shipped to you or picked up by you from the dealer, as the case may be. Despite best efforts, a small number of the items on this website may be mispriced. If an item's correct price is higher than the dealer's stated price, your dealer will, at his or her discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation and the reason for such cancellation.
Taxes
The amount of tax charged for your order depends upon many factors, including:
- The identity of the seller
- The type of item purchased, and
- The destination of the shipment or location where you will pick it up.
The dealer(s) providing the service(s) and merchandise on this website charge sales tax in the tax jurisdiction(s) in which they are registered. Taxes not collected by them may be your responsibility depending on the laws of the jurisdiction in which the sale takes place.
How Sales Tax Is Calculated
If an item is subject to sales tax at the location where the sale takes place, tax is generally calculated on its total selling price. In accordance with state tax laws, the total selling price of an item may include, some or all of the following; item-level shipping charges, handling charges if applicable, discounts and an allocation of order-level shipping and handling charges and discounts.
The tax rate applied to your order will generally be the combined state and local rate for the address where your order is shipped or the location where it is picked up, as required by state tax laws. Therefore, the sales tax rate applied to your order may be different for an order shipped to your home address than it is for an order for the very same items shipped to your work address or items picked up at the dealership.
Your dealer is solely responsible for accepting/confirming your tax exemption.
Estimated Tax
Many factors can change between the time you place an order and the time your order is shipped. Therefore, the amount appearing on your order as "Estimated Tax"may differ from the sales taxes ultimately charged.
Payments
As noted above, transactions made via FordParts.com are solely between you and the applicable dealer. FordParts.com and participating dealers utilize third-party service providers to process payments and store your card information.
Most US-issued credit and debit cards can be used on this website. In order to make a payment, you must enter valid credit or debit card information. By submitting an order on FordParts.com, you authorize the dealer to charge your card in the specified amount. You will receive a receipt of your FordParts.com transactions.

FORD reserves the right to change or terminate this website, or any parts thereof, at any time without notice. Any and all changes and/or amendments to these Terms and Conditions will become binding immediately.
Shipping/Delivery/Pickup
Delivery options you choose are based on items in stock at your dealer, from the time that an order is received and processed. Your dealer cannot ship to PO, FPO or APO boxes or international addresses other than those in Puerto Rico.
All items purchased from this website are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items passes to you when your dealer delivers the item to the carrier. FORD and the dealer reserve the right to refuse to replace orders for customers who have made excessive loss and replacement requests determined at the sole discretion of FORD and the dealer.
Orders
FORD and your dealer are not responsible for orders that are not received. All orders are subject to a verification process, and any information submitted that cannot be verified by a customer's financial institution(s) may cause delays.
Order Acceptance/Confirmation
Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify your dealer's acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of your dealer's offer to sell. FORD and your dealer reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason in their sole discretion.
You may cancel an order via this website that is in a pending processing status on the My Orders page. Once an order is processed, it is your sole responsibility to contact your dealer directly if you wish to cancel the order.
Cancellations, Returns and Exchanges
Your dealer will accept returns or exchanges of most Motorcraft®, Ford Parts and Ford Accessories postmarked within 30 days of your receipt; and, credit you within 30 days. All returns and exchanges must be returned to your dealer in person or via shipping (solely at your expense unless in the case of dealership error), in the original box, in new, resalable condition, with all instructions and hardware, and in the condition it was received; otherwise, it is at the dealership's discretion to accept the return. If you opted not to provide a VIN(s), your dealer, at his or her discretion, may not be responsible for incorrectly ordered parts. Returns and exchanges may be subject to a restocking fee of up to 10 percent, which will be waived if the return or exchange is due to an error by your dealer. Shipping is nonrefundable.
Attempting to return any parts or assemblies that have been tampered with or modified in a manner that affects the resalability and/or safety of the part(s) is prosecutable under the law, and these parts or assemblies are not eligible for return credit, refund and/or exchange.
No-Risk Core Return Policy
By purchasing products from your dealer via this website, you agree that you accept and will abide by the terms of FORD's no-risk core return policy. You can obtain a copy of the FORD core return policy directly from your dealer or by clicking on the no-risk core return policy link.
A core is typically a rebuildable part used as a partial trade-in for a new or rebuilt part and a 'core charge' is similar to the deposit paid for a returnable can or bottle. It is an additional charge at the time of purchase to promote the return of the core when the part is replaced. When the core is returned, the charge is refunded.
Labor costs or any other consequential expenses incurred on products purchased on this website are nonrefundable by FORD.

You agree to the limited warranties for the products that have been purchased. See your dealer for a copy of the limited warranty applicable to the part purchased.

Individual bank policies will dictate when this amount is credited to your account. If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, you may return it in accordance with your dealer's return policy.
