Car Dealerships, corporate accounts and other accounts receiving a discount or currently on another TDG annual program are not eligible to become TreadXperts Members.
There is no fee to participate in the TreadXperts Program other than a monthly fee for the CFIB membership of $19.95 which will be deducted at the end of the year from earned Volume Bonus.
Dealer members may withdraw from the Program at any time. Doing so will void any current earnings and will require the removal of all TreadXperts signage and access to the TreadXperts Digital Advertising Network including content and hardware if applicable.
