4. What we do
The terms and conditions that apply to our insurance policies are set out in the policy wording. We act as intermediary between you and the insurer. The quotations provided on this site are intended as an indication only of the likely premium based on the information you provide. They are not binding quotations. If you decide you wish to buy an insurance policy, then we will ask you to confirm the information you have provided. If you fail to disclose any relevant information, or if you provide any inaccurate information, this may invalidate your insurance policy. If you provide us with information about other people, then it is your responsibility to check that the information you provide is accurate and that the other people have given you permission to give their information to us. When you complete the Payment Details section of the site, we will treat this as your proposal of insurance. You are not insured until you receive confirmation from us that we have accepted your payment and proposal. The decision as to whether to offer you insurance is at our discretion. We may cancel your insurance policy before the start date of the policy at any time and for any reason which we do not need to give you. We may also cancel your policy even if it has already started for reasons such as fraud or any other reason we deem sufficient. If we choose to do this we will inform you using the email address you provided at the time of purchase that your policy has been cancelled but we do not need to give you the reason. You should keep a copy of all information submitted to and/or received from us for your own records.
Customer Service: There may be occasions where you feel we have not met your expectations. In this event please contact our Customer Services department and we will do our best to resolve any problems for you. If we are unable to resolve the matter to your satisfaction, please write to us at the address on our contacts page. However please note that we will not refund the insurance premium (either in full or part) after the Policy Schedule has been issued other than under our refund policy as stated in our FAQ's in the 'help centre' section of this website.
Auto-Renewal of Annual Multi-Trip Policies: To ensure you receive continuous cover, we operate an auto-renewal process for Annual Multi-trip policies. Auto-renewal means that your travel insurance policy will be automatically renewed at the end of your policy. If you wish to cancel the auto-renewal of your policy you must contact us prior to the renewal date.
