Throughout the period of insurance we act on behalf of both you and the insurer. We act on behalf of you when providing a quote and arranging cover. When we issue policy documents, handle claims and collect premiums payments, we act on behalf of the insurer. A detailed description of any insurance policy we arrange on your behalf will be contained in an Insurance Product Information Document which will be made available to you as part of the process of you obtaining a quotation from us. We can also supply you with a specimen copy of the insurance policy should you request this. Quotations are based on the information provided by you at the time of the quotation and are valid for 14 days from that date. All premiums quoted include the government s Insurance Premium Tax at the current rate. We only provide insurance for customers based in the United Kingdom and all premium transactions are in pounds sterling.

This may be either the full premium due or a deposit amount if we have agreed that the premium may be paid by instalments. You will be provided with renewal terms in good time prior to the expiry date of the policy, or notified if renewal is not being invited. Fees and Charges We arrange the policy with the insurer on your behalf. You do not pay us a fee for doing this. We receive commission from the insurer which is a percentage of the total annual premium. For any optional extras you

choose to purchase, we receive a commission from the insurer which is a percentage of the total annual premium. Demands and Needs Statement This policy meets the demands and needs of those who wish to insure against the cost of replacing hand-held gadgets that are stolen, lost, break down or are damaged accidentally. Some customers may have existing cover as part of a packaged bank account or limited cover as part of a Home Insurance Policy. To avoid purchasing dual cover, we recommend that you check you do not have cover elsewhere.

Full details of our complaints handling procedures are available on request. Or alternatively you can use the Online Dispute Resolution Platform (ODR) http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr You may go directly to The Financial Ombudsman Service with your complaint, but the Ombudsman will only review your complaint at this stage with our consent. CLAIMS In the event of a claim please refer to your policy documents. Please note that if we replace your gadgets the damaged, lost or stolen item becomes ours. If it is returned or found you must notify us and send it to us if we ask you to. Your Gadget Cover insurance policy is underwritten by Zenith Insurance Plc, Authorised Insurers, registered in Gibraltar No 84085. Registered Office: 846-848 Europort, Gibraltar. To help us improve our service we may record or monitor telephone calls. COMMISSION We are usually remunerated by commission from the insurance providers. We will be pleased to provide this information upon written request. If your policy is cancelled or altered mid-term, we may also make a charge equal to the amount lost to us in commission reclaimed by insurers. CANCELLATION OF INSURANCE POLICY Cancelling within fourteen days You have the right to cancel your policy during a period of 14 days either from the day of purchase or the day on which you receive your policy documentation, whichever is the later. On receipt of your written notice of cancellation you will receive a full refund of all premium paid provided that no claim has been paid by us and you do not intend to make a claim under this insurance. Cancelling after the first fourteen days Unless otherwise stated, insurance policies are arranged for a period of 12 months and you are required to pay the full amount stated. If you wish to cancel the policy before the expiry date (other than within the first fourteen days as above) and there have been no claims, we will refer to the published cancellation procedures as detailed in your policy documents. We may cancel the policy by giving you 30 days notice in writing. In the event of any claim you are responsible for the payment of any outstanding premium. We recommend that you read the Insurance Product Information Document carefully before making a decision to purchase insurance cover. If you have made a claim it is highly unlikely that any premium will be refunded.

Policies Cancelled by Us or the Insurer Your policy may be cancelled by us or the insurer, for reasons such as misrepresentation, failure to take reasonable care not to make a misrepresentation and providing false or incomplete information when requested at point of claim. We may also decline the claim and cancel the policy with immediate effect. If a premium for your policy is not paid on time, we will notify you of this, and if the payment is not received within 14 days, either by our second attempt to take the payment, or you making the payment by alternative means, your policy will be cancelled from the date the premium was due without the need for us to give any further notice to you. At our discretion, we may, following a request from you, allow this policy to resume where payment has been made after such a 14 day period, but we are under no obligation to do so. The cancellation will be treated as a standard cancellation and will incur charges as above and the refund of premium will relate to the remaining period of insurance left after the cancellation date. In any event of your policy being cancelled by ourselves or the insurer, we will give you 30 days notice in writing to your last address notified to us. How to cancel To exercise your right to cancel, please contact us at the address or telephone number shown on the front of this communication. If being sent via post, we strongly recommend you use Recorded Delivery or other traceable postage method to advise of cancellation and to return your documents (if applicable). We are not responsible for documents that have been lost in transit. PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS AND REFUNDS Unless otherwise agreed and formalised by a premium instalment plan, all premiums are due on the day cover is arranged, the date the policy is due for renewal or the date of any mid-term adjustment. Refunds Any refund is dependent on the insurer returning the premium to us and can take up to 4-6 weeks. Most refunds are issued back to the method that original payment was made with; alternatively a cheque will be issued. Other taxes and costs Other taxes and/or costs may exist in respect of other products and services offered by us, which are not paid through or imposed by us. RENEWAL To make the process of renewal easier we may automatically renew a policy and take payment by the same payment method as the previous year. We will always write to advise you before we automatically renew any policy and give you the opportunity to contact us to cancel the renewal. If your policy is not eligible for automatic renewal we will write to you prior to your renewal date to remind you that your renewal is due and to advise you how much the new premium will be. You will need to contact us to arrange your renewal. RISK TRANSFER Premiums that we collect from you are held in an insurance broking bank account specifically for the purpose of holding client money. By virtue of agreements held with insurers, we collect premiums as agents of the insurer. Once we have collected the premium from you, under the terms of our agreements with insurers, those premiums are treated as having been paid to the insurer.

Money that we collect from you will be held in a segregated account, separate from our own business account, and will be remitted to insurers in accordance with our agreement with them. If we become insolvent, the terms of the trust dictate that insurers will have a prior claim on the money in the account according to their respective interests. Earning interest on customer premiums We hold premiums that you pay us in our client money bank account. Under Financial Conduct Authority regulations we have to inform you that we may earn interest from money held in this account. Interest earned will not be held for the benefit of customers. We may also invest these premiums in a range of permitted designated investments as prescribed by the Financial Conduct Authority. In the event that there is any shortfall in our client money resource attributable to falls in the market value of any of these permitted designated investments we shall make provision for, and bear the cost of, any such shortfall. Customer money passed to another organisation In accordance with Financial Conduct Authority Regulations we have to inform you that in managing or arranging your insurance requirements, we may transfer money that you have paid us in payment of an insurance premium to another insurance intermediary. This has no effect on your insurance arrangements with us as your broker or your insurer. GOVERNING LAW This agreement shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales and the parties agree that any dispute arising out of it shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts. VARIATIONS No variation of these terms is held to be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorised officer of the company. The company s staff are not authorised to agree to any variation of these terms. From time to time the company may review the terms and reserve the right to amend them without notice. STATUTORY RIGHTS Agreement to our Terms of Business does not affect your statutory rights. These are our stated Terms of Business. We will assume you are in agreement with these terms unless you notify us to the contrary within five days of receipt of the documents.
