By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site immediately.

  • Submit false, fraudulent, or misleading information.
  • Introduce viruses, worms, or other malicious code.
  • Use Site content in violation of any applicable local, state, or federal laws.

2. Vehicle Listings, Pricing, and Availability

Vehicle descriptions, photographs, equipment, incentives, prices, estimated payments, and availability are provided for general informational purposes and may change without prior notice.

  • Errors and Omissions: Information published may contain unintentional errors, inaccuracies, or omissions.
  • Prior Sale: Vehicles are subject to prior sale; not all vehicles shown are guaranteed to be available at the time of your inquiry or visit.
  • Verification Required: Contact D’Orazio Ford directly to verify current inventory, options, pricing, eligibility, dealer fees, taxes, and final purchase terms.
  • No Binding Offer: Nothing on this Site constitutes a binding legal offer to sell, lease, or finance a vehicle.

3. Financing, Trade-In, and Online Tools

Financing calculators, payment estimators, pre-qualification forms, and trade-in estimates are illustrative only.

  • These tools do not constitute an offer of credit, formal approval, or guaranteed trade-in valuation.
  • Actual financing is subject to formal credit application, lender approval, and statutory disclosures.
  • Trade-in valuations are tentative and subject to in-person physical inspection and verification by the dealership.
  • Submitting an online inquiry or credit form does not obligate you to purchase or finance a vehicle.

4. Service, Parts, and Appointments

  • Online Requests: Service scheduling requests, parts inquiries, and requested appointment times submitted via the Site are subject to confirmation and scheduling availability.
  • Estimates & Timing: Repair estimates, projected completion times, and parts availability may adjust upon physical vehicle inspection and diagnostic testing.
  • Authorizations: Any additional work required beyond the initial request will be performed only in accordance with applicable customer authorizations and standard dealership procedures.

5. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, all Site text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, layout, and software are the property of D’Orazio Ford or their respective licensors and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws.

You may view, download, or print Site content strictly for personal, non-commercial use. You may not reproduce, redistribute, modify, publish, or commercially exploit any content without express written permission.

6. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Site may contain links to third-party platforms, such as financial institutions, vehicle manufacturers (including Ford Motor Company), online scheduling platforms, and vendor integrations.

  • These external services are operated independently and governed by their own respective terms of service and privacy policies.
  • D’Orazio Ford does not endorse and is not responsible for third-party content, policies, or service uptime.

7. SMS/Text Message Communications

A. Program Description

When you separately opt in to receive text messages from D’Orazio Ford, we may send messages concerning:

  • No Purchase Required: Consent to receive marketing text messages is strictly voluntary and is not a condition of purchasing any goods, vehicles, or services.
  • Separate Channels: Informational/transactional consent and marketing consent are handled separately. Providing a phone number on a general contact or purchase form does not constitute consent to receive promotional texts.
