Program
You have been selected to participate in the Program. ICBC has contracted with Samba Safety as the data aggregator to collect and standardize telematics data provided by you and other participants in connection with the Program.
Program Requirements
You must maintain the following for the entire duration of the Program:
your Fleet’s participation in Fleetplan with ICBC; and
a TSP supported by Samba Safety for the purposes of the Program.
You represent and warrant to the ICBC Group that:
you have the power and capacity to enter into, observe, perform, and comply with these Terms;
all information provided in the Application Form is true and correct;
by participating in the Program, and by observing and performing your obligations under these Terms, you will not be in breach or default of any law, rules or regulations applicable to you (including applicable privacy legislation) nor will you be in breach of any agreements with third parties (including your agreements with any TSPs or with your personnel), and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you represent and warrant to the ICBC Group that:
you have all the rights necessary and authority to and do grant to ICBC the rights to collect, use and disclose the Telematics Data and Standardized Data as described in these Terms, and
you have provided the required notices and/or obtained the consent of data subjects or others to participate in the Program and provide the Telematics Data to Samba Safety and Standardized Data to ICBC as described in these Terms, as required by applicable laws, rules and regulations.
Discount
If your Fleet includes policies that have ICBC optional Collision coverage at the time of submission of your Application Form and you provide Telematics Data for the Program, you will receive a 5% discount on the ICBC optional Collision coverage upon renewal of your Fleet term on the terms set out below. After ICBC has confirmed the data connection between your TSP and Samba Safety, the 5% discount will be applied beginning at the next renewal cycle of your Fleet term. If you have renewed any policies under your Fleet before the data connection is established, then the discount will be applied beginning at the NEXT renewal cycle of your Fleet term. The discount is applicable for the 12 month Fleet term (and no longer) for the policies included in your Fleet following successful data connection between your TSP and Samba Safety.
If your Fleet does not have any policies that include ICBC optional Collision coverage at the time of submission of the Application Form, you will not receive any discount or incentive for your participation in the Program.
Telematics Data Collected
During the Program, Samba Safety will collect various types of information from you via your TSP, including data about your vehicles and drivers’ driving behaviours, locations, speed, and other driving-related data (collectively, the "Telematics Data"). Specific data collected depends on your TSP and the information you have permitted your TSP to collect; subject to that, the Telematics Data may include, but is not limited to:
geographic location and coordinates (i.e. identified through the GPS) - used solely for the purpose of analyzing driving behaviour
speed of travel and average speed
accelerometer and gyroscope data including average acceleration, deceleration and cornering
when trips occur, including both start and stop times (date and time of day)
amount of time travelled
distance driven in kilometers
Samba Safety may collect personal information from you, such as driver first and last name and driver licence number, if such information is collected by your TSP. However, ICBC will not have access to any personal information collected by Samba Safety.
See Schedule A for the data points that will be collected (subject to availability and your TSP) and additional information regarding storage, security, access, and retention of the Telematics Data.
Samba Safety will use the Telematics Data to generate the Standardized Data, but ICBC has required Samba Safety to provide only Standardized Data to ICBC. Samba Safety has agreed with ICBC that it will not include any personal information (or any information that could be used by ICBC to identify individual drivers) in the Standardized Data.
You agree that you will acquire no interest in or right to any of the Telematics Data or Standardized Data. You agree that you will not receive a copy of any of the Telematics Data or Standardized Data either during or after your participation in the Program. ICBC will retain the Standardized Data after your participation in the Program ends, but any use of the Standardized Data thereafter will only be in accordance with these Terms.
ICBC and Samba Safety, as may be applicable, retain all intellectual property rights in any services made available to you in connection with the Program, and you obtain no rights or interest in any such services.
Data Usage
ICBC will use the Standardized Data to help inform future telematics-based insurance programs, improve road safety, and improve education on safe driving behaviour. ICBC may disclose the Standardized Data with researchers and educational institutions for research purposes.
Unless otherwise stated in these Terms, required by applicable law, or in accordance with any applicable regulatory requirement, direction, review or process, ICBC will not:
disclose the Standardized Data to any person other than authorized ICBC staff, Samba Safety or its authorized sub-contractors, and then only on an as-required basis for the purposes of the Program; and
use the Standardized Data for insurance rating (whether commercial and personal) or claims purposes.
Withdrawal from Program
You may withdraw from the Program at any time for any reason by giving ICBC notice of such withdrawal. Following receipt of such notice, ICBC will work with Samba Safety to remove you from the Program, including disconnecting connections to the TSP.
Termination of Participation and/or Program
ICBC reserves the right, in its sole discretion, for any reason and at any time, to terminate your participation in the Program or to terminate the Program entirely, in either case effective immediately upon giving notice to you.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnity
Your participation in the Program is voluntary and is solely at your own risk. ICBC disclaims all warranties, representations and covenants (express, implied or statutory) in connection with the Program, including any warranties, representations or covenants of accuracy, completeness, performance, or non-infringement. ICBC is not responsible for the security or accuracy of any information transmitted by you or your TSP to Samba Safety in connection with the Program. Your sole and exclusive remedy for dissatisfaction with the Program is to withdraw from the Program.
The total aggregate liability of the ICBC Group for any and all Losses related to the Program or to these Terms is limited to direct damages suffered by you not to exceed $100. Any action against ICBC must be brought within 12 months of that cause of action arising. In no event will any of the ICBC Group be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, exemplary or aggravated damages, or for any loss of revenue, savings, income, business, profit, goodwill or reputation whatsoever, based on any legal theory (including tort or negligence), and even if advised of the possibility of those damages.
You will indemnify and hold each of the ICBC Group harmless from all Losses arising from or relating to your participation in the Program or a breach of these Terms.
