- We reserve the right to make the final decision on whether any purchase qualifies for Points and the amount of Points earned for any activity.
8. Waivers
We can delay enforcing our rights under these Terms without losing them. In addition, our failure to exercise our rights on any one occasion, or even on more than one occasion, does not constitute a waiver of our rights for any future occasion. All waivers by VinFast must be in writing.

All information you provide to VinFast will be handled in accordance with the VinFast Privacy Policy.
By participating in the Program through the Website, you agree to the Terms of Use which govern your use of the Program. In the event that the Privacy Policy or Terms of Use conflict with these Terms, these Terms will control.

You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your Account or any other breach of security known to you. The Program is a service provided to an individual participant, not a company or other entity, and a company or other entity may not direct, encourage or allow individuals to participate in the Program for anything other than individual use. ANY ATTEMPT BY YOU OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY TO DAMAGE ANY WEBSITE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE PROGRAM IS A VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS.

You will cooperate as fully required by us in the defense of any Claim and Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we retain the exclusive right to settle, compromise, and pay any and all Claims and Losses.

IN ANY CASE, OUR AND OUR AFFILIATES’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE LIMITED TO $100 PER OCCURRENCE.
16. Miscellaneous
- Your relationship with VinFast is that of a participant in this Program, and nothing in these Terms or the Program are to be interpreted as establishing any other relationship. You may not represent yourself as an employee or agent of VinFast, and you have no authority to represent or bind VinFast or its affiliates in any way.
- Limited Time to File Claims. If you want to assert a dispute against VinFast, then you must commence it within two (2) years from the date of the activity that first gave rise to the dispute, or it will be forever barred.
- Governing Law. These Terms will be governed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without reference to its conflicts of laws principles and you consent to the jurisdiction of courts, both state or federal, in California, with respect to any dispute under this Agreement.
- Waiver of Injunctive or Other Equitable Relief. IF YOU CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE INCURRED ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM, THEN THE LOSSES, DAMAGES, AND INJURIES WILL NOT BE IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION OR TO OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND.
- Updates to Terms. These Terms, in the form posted at the time of your use of the Program, shall govern such use (including transactions entered during such use). AS OUR PROGRAM EVOLVES, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH WE OFFER THE PROGRAM MAY BE MODIFIED AND WE MAY CEASE OFFERING THE PROGRAM UNDER THE TERMS FOR WHICH THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY OFFERED. ACCORDINGLY, EACH TIME YOU SIGN IN TO YOUR ACCOUNT OR OTHERWISE USE THE PROGRAM YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A NEW AGREEMENT WITH US ON THE THEN APPLICABLE TERMS AND YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY NOTIFY YOU OF OTHER TERMS BY POSTING THEM ON THE WEBSITE (OR IN ANY OTHER REASONABLE MANNER OF NOTICE WHICH WE ELECT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, VIA EMAIL), AND THAT YOUR USE OF THE PROGRAM AFTER SUCH NOTICE CONSTITUTES YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE REVISED TERMS. Therefore, you should review the posted Terms each time you use the Program. The revised Terms will be effective as of the time that we post them, or such later date as may be specified in them or in other notice to you. You should frequently check the Website and the email associated with your Account for notices, all of which you agree are reasonable manners of providing you notice. You can reject any new or revised Terms by discontinuing use of the Program. VinFast will provide thirty (30) days’ notice prior to termination of the Program.
