Our Role

We provide a connection to approved and authorised insurance brokers for the sole purposes of offering you an insurance quote based on your requirements.

We do not sell insurance or insurance related products, nor do we offer any advice on the purchase of insurance or insurance related products.

Your Duty of Disclosure

Consumers: You must take reasonable care not to make a misrepresentation to the approved broker. This means that all the answers you give and statements you make as part of your insurance application, including at renewal, any change in circumstances and when an amendment to your policy is required, should be honest and accurate. If you deliberately or carelessly misinform the insurers, this could mean that part of or all of a claim may not be paid. Non-consumer customers: Where we arrange insurance wholly or mainly for purposes related to your trade, business or profession, you have a duty under The Insurance Act 2015 to make a fair presentation of the risk. This means that you must disclose every material circumstance which you and/or your senior management and/or anyone responsible for arranging your insurance know or ought to know. Alternatively, you must disclose sufficient information which would put the insurer on notice that it needs to make further enquiries for the purpose of revealing those material circumstances. You are expected to carry out a reasonable search in order to make a fair presentation of the risk and will be deemed to know what should reasonably have been revealed by the search. Your duty of fair presentation applies at the start of the policy, at renewal, any change in circumstances, and when any variation of the policy is arranged. If you fail to make a fair presentation, the insurer may refuse to pay your claim or reduce the settlement amount, depending on the circumstances.

Protecting Your Information

All personal information about you will be treated as private and confidential (even when you are no longer a customer), except where the disclosure is made at your request or with your consent in relation to the administration of your insurance, or where we are required by law. Some or all of the information you supply to us in connection with your insurance quote request may be passed to insurance and other companies for underwriting, claims and premium collection purposes. Your data will be held in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 under which you have a right of access to any personal information about you that is held in our records, whether electronically or manually.
