Insurance advising and arranging is covered for 100% of the first £2,000/€3,000 and 90% of the remainder of the claim, without any upper limit.
For compulsory classes of insurance, insurance advising and arranging is covered for 100% of any claim, without upper limit.
Further information about the compensation scheme arrangements is available from the FSCS.
Your Duty of Disclosure
It is your responsibility to provide complete and accurate information to insurers when you take out your insurance policy, throughout the life of the policy
and when you renew it.
It is important you ensure that all statements you make in a telephone application or on a web-based proposal form, claim form or other documentation are full and
accurate.
Please note that if you fail to disclose any material information, or change of circumstances, to your insurers this could invalidate your insurance cover and
could mean that part or all of a claim may not be paid.
We strongly recommend that the information provided is checked thoroughly prior to submission and that you keep a record of all correspondence
supplied in relation to the arrangement of your insurance cover.
Settlement Terms
We will be responsible for requesting payment for all new and renewal premiums and mid-term alterations as soon as practicable but prior to inception or renewal of your policy.
We will hold premiums as agent of the insurer and remit premiums to insurers in accordance with the agreed terms of trade.
You will be responsible for paying promptly all of our payment requests for premiums, to enable us to make the necessary payments to insurers.
For the avoidance of doubt, we have no obligation to fund any premiums on your behalf, and have no responsibility for any loss which you may suffer as a result of insurers cancelling the policy or taking any other prejudicial steps as a result of the late payment of such sums if such delay is attributable to you.
In certain circumstances insurers may impose a specific Premium Payment Term whereby they require payment of premium by a certain date. We must stress that breach of that term will entitle insurers to void the policy from inception of cover. You agree that the settlement of premiums in good time is your responsibility.
We normally accept payment by selected credit cards, debit cards or monthly instalments from bank accounts (full details are available upon request).
Policy Termination
Your policy may be terminated at any time, and for any reason, either by:-
• you giving notice in writing, or
• ourselves, giving at least 14 days’ notice in writing to you last known address
In the event of terminating an insurance policy, any return premium will be calculated subject to any claims payments during the policy year and administration fees as set out above.
Policy Cancellation – your right to cancel following the conclusion of the contract
You have a legal right to cancel your policy, for any reason, subject to no claims having occurred, after receiving this information following the conclusion of
the contract.
The cancellation period is 14 days from the day after you receive this information, following the conclusion of the contract.
If a policy is cancelled outside this period, any premium refund may be subject to the deduction of the administration fee with a pro rata amount being
charged for the time that the property was on risk.
You will need to provide us with a written request to cancel before the expiry of the 14 days to the following
address:
