Conflicts of Interest
Occasions can arise where one of One-Sure Insurance's associated companies, clients or product providers will have a conflict of interest with business being transacted for you. If this happens and we become aware that a potential conflict exists, One-Sure Insurance will write to you and obtain your consent before One-Sure Insurance carry out your instructions, and detail the steps we will take to ensure fair treatment.
What are Your Responsibilities?
It is your responsibility to provide complete and accurate information, which insurers require in connection with any proposal for insurance cover. This is particularly important before taking out an Insurance policy, making a mid term alteration and at renewal, but also applies throughout the life of the Insurance policy. If you fail to disclose any material fact or other information material to the insurance this could invalidate the Insurance policy and mean that claims are not paid. You should check all details on any Insurance proposal form or statement of facts and pay particular attention to any declaration you may be asked to sign.
You should read all insurance documents issued to you and ensure that you are aware of the Insurance cover, limits and other terms that apply. Particular attention should be paid to any warranties and conditions as failure to comply with them could invalidate your Insurance policy. You should take a note of the required procedures in the event of an Insurance claim, which will be stated in the Insurance policy documentation. Generally insurers require immediate notification of an Insurance claim or circumstances that might lead to an Insurance claim. You should inform us immediately of any circumstances that may affect the services provided by One-Sure Insurance or the Insurance cover provided by your Insurance policy.
If you are unsure about any matter then please contact us for further guidance.
Termination of Authority
You may terminate your Insurance contract within 14 days from the conclusion of the Insurance contract without penalty. Notice of this termination must be given in writing and will take effect from the date of receipt. Termination is without prejudice to any transactions already initiated which will be completed accordingly to these terms of business unless otherwise agreed in writing. You will be liable to pay for any transactions of adjustments effective prior to termination and we will be entitled to retain any fees or brokerage payable in relation to Insurance policies placed by One-Sure Insurance prior to the date of termination.
