GDC Plan¶
A GDC Plan is the member's plan for a participating vehicle during the effective period. One vehicle equals one Plan.
Pledge Amount¶
Pledge Amount is the maximum sharing amount a member is committed to share during one effective period of the GDC Plan. It equals 80% of the quote price and is not paid upfront.
Remaining Pledge Balance¶
Remaining Pledge Balance is the remaining amount of a member's pledge available during the plan period. It is reduced by weekly sharing and by the member's own use of RPB when the member experiences an eligible event.
Out-of-Pocket Amount¶
Out-of-Pocket Amount refers to a fixed amount that the applicant is responsible for paying as their portion of the loss amount for each Eligible Event. GDC currently offers default options of $250, $500, and $1,000, and may match other out-of-pocket amounts from the uploaded policy.
Eligible Event¶
An Eligible Event is an incident that qualifies for submitting a sharing request after review under GDC criteria.
Authorized Sharing Amount¶
Authorized Sharing Amount is the amount eligible for community sharing after applying the relevant loss assessment, member responsibility, remaining pledge balance, out-of-pocket amount, and program limits.
Referrer¶
Referrer is the starting Promoter status. A Referrer has eligibility to refer potential members to enroll in a Plan and to earn direct referral commissions and points after meeting applicable requirements.
Affiliate¶
Affiliate is an advanced status a Referrer may apply for after signing the Affiliate Application and Agreement and meeting the L1 upgrade criteria. Affiliates may be eligible for a broader range of commissions and benefits.
Paid-As Title¶
Paid-As Title is the title basis used to calculate and pay a Promoter's commissions. It cannot exceed Lifetime Title and may be lower depending on monthly team performance requirements.
Lifetime Title¶
Lifetime Title is the highest Affiliate Level an individual or Business Entity has ever achieved, unless the Affiliate's status is terminated.
Restore Plan¶
Restore Plan is the App action for restoring the original plan after an eligible voluntary exit. It keeps the same Plan/VIN, original plan dates, and invitation relationship, without a new quote or enrollment. Each plan can be restored once. It is different from renewing for a new term or submitting a new enrollment after a final termination.
Plan restoration window¶
The plan restoration window is the seven-day opportunity following an eligible voluntary App exit, subject to the plan's displayed deadline and possible earlier closure. It is separate from the 14-day payment grace period for overdue amounts. Use Restore Plan and the displayed deadline when guiding a member.
Weekly Sharing¶
Weekly Sharing is the recurring contribution toward eligible community events. A plan's Individual Shared Amount is the amount calculated for a sharing cycle. Use Weekly Sharing consistently in App instructions.
Weekly Sharing Cap¶
The Weekly Sharing Cap is the maximum Weekly Sharing contribution for a plan in a cycle, determined by its Pledge Amount and the cap rate applicable to that cycle. The payment rules define the applicable rates and dates. Restoration uses each missed cycle's cap rather than a fixed restoration percentage.
Restoration Amount¶
The Restoration Amount is the current plan's pre-exit formal Weekly Sharing debt plus missed-cycle amounts required to restore it, before payment transaction fees. Missed-cycle amounts are collected only on restoration; formal pre-exit debts remain payable even if the plan is not restored. See restoration payment rules.
Returning Auto¶
A Returning Auto is a previously enrolled vehicle seeking a qualifying new enrollment under Section 5.1.2 of the Affiliate and Referral Program Regular Plan. Its reward and Direct Points eligibility is subject to that section's conditions. Restoring an original plan through Restore Plan is not a Returning Auto enrollment.
