4.1. Your policy documents will state your customer classification.


4.2. You must, at all times act with utmost good faith towards your insurer. This means that before your policy is placed, at renewal, when varying or extending the policy (and also during the policy period if your policy contains a particular clause stating that any change in circumstances must be advised to your insurer), you must disclose to us all information, facts and circumstances which are, or ought to be, known to you and which are material to the risk. When providing information or completing a proposal form or otherwise confirming any information to us, you should take care to ensure that the details provided are complete and accurate. You should note that your duty of disclosure is not confined to answering specific questions asked by us or your insurers and that all material circumstances should be disclosed to us whether or not we or your insurer has asked for the information. Circumstances which may be considered material are:

  • special or unusual facts relating to the risk;
  • any particular concerns which led you to seek insurance cover;
  • anything which would generally be understood as being something that should be disclosed for the type of risk in question.

4.3. If you are unsure whether a fact or circumstance should be disclosed, or whether the duty of disclosure information continues throughout the period of your policy you should disclose the information anyway as failure to do so may lead your insurer to reduce its claim payment, apply additional terms or even avoid your policy.


4.4. You should keep a record (including copies of letters) of all information provided for future reference.


5. Renewal of Contract

5.1. We will write to you in good time before your renewal date, offering your terms or in situations where we are not inviting renewal we will tell you. Renewal of the contract is based on the information you supplied when we arranged your current contract along with any amendments you have made during the period of cover. It is important that you tell us about any changes to your requirements.


5.2. Where we offer you renewal terms and your insurance is paid by continuous monthly direct debit instalments, in the absence of a response from you, we will deem this as your consent to renew automatically.


6. Payment of the Premium

6.1. You must provide the premium due in cleared funds in accordance with the amounts and dates specified in our payments options schedule. Failure to meet the payment date may lead to insurers cancelling your policy.


6.2. Please refer to our payment options schedule for full details on how to make a payment.


6.3. Please note that cover will cease if you fail to keep up payments under a credit agreement.


7. Cancellation Rights

7.1. Your policy documents will provide you with specific information on your full rights to cancel your insurance. A personal policy which lasts for more than one calendar month offers you the facility to cancel cover (providing there have been no claims), within 14 days from the policy start date or the date when you receive the full policy documentation from us or your insurers; whichever occurs later. You will be entitled to a refund of premium less our administration charge and a charge by your insurer for the time your insurance cover was in place.


8. Refund Procedures

8.1. Where you cancel your personal insurance outside the 14 day cancellation period, we reserve the right to charge for our time in providing you with advice and for the administration costs involved. This results in us retaining our original commission and fees.


8.2. For some insurance contracts, insurers will not provide refunds for mid-term cancellation of cover. We will tell you if this affects you.


9. Notification of Claims or Incidents

9.1. Many insurers provide a 24 hour helpline in respect of claims. Please refer to your policy documents for contact details.

9.3. If you receive correspondence from a third party about your claim please pass it to us or your insurer immediately and unanswered.


9.4. If you require any assistance with a claim or incident please contact us.


10. Client and Insurer Money

10.1. We are not authorised to handle client monies, all client money is handled by BBPS Ltd. Details of who BBPS Ltd are shown in section 2 above. BBPS Ltd hold all client money in a trust account, the purpose of which is to protect you in the event of financial failure since, in such circumstances, general creditors would not be able to make claims on client money. 


10.2. If BBPS Ltd hold money on a client’s behalf, it will be held in a trust fund that is separate from their own cash assets. These separate trust fund arrangements are commonly known as 'client money'. If they were ever unable to pay their debts, then those to whom they owe money (their creditors) should not be able to make claims on their client money in the separate trust funds as it does not form part of their own cash assets.


10.3. The trust arrangement BBPS Ltd use for client money is known as a non-statutory trust. Here, they may use premiums and claims monies they receive to fund other clients’ premiums and claims; for example they may pay a premium on to an insurer before they have received it from the client if they believe it is in the best interests of that client.


10.4. BBPS Ltd have agreements with some insurers (known as 'risk transfer agreements'). Under these risk transfer agreements the insurers agree that they are responsible to you for any premium that you have already paid to us and that the insurer remains responsible for any premium refunds or claims payments until the premium refund or claim payment is received by you. In this case BBPS Ltd may hold client money due to or from the insurers in the same trust fund.


10.5. Where BBPS Ltd do not have risk transfer agreements in place with insurers, the client money they hold will still be protected within the non-statutory trust. Money held as client money has priority over insurers to the money in the trust fund as insurers granting risk transfer have agreed to subordinate their interests in the trust to those of BBPS Ltd non risk transfer clients.


10.6. BBPS Ltd do not use client money to pay commission before they receive your premium. 


10.7. When BBPS Ltd hold client money on trust for you this gives rise to fiduciary duties upon them that will not be discharged until the client money is deemed to have reached the insurer or product provider (as detailed above, this is when they receive premium in case of risk transfer agreements).


10.8. Without affecting BBPS Ltd's fiduciary duties to you, in some cases they may:

  • hold client money in accounts which are outside of the United Kingdom and which may be subject to different legal and regulatory conditions and may be treat money differently in the event of an bank failing. If you are a consumer (a person who buys products or services for personal use and not for business purposes) you can ask them not to put your client money in an account in a particular country.
  • pass client money to another intermediary, including ones outside of the United Kingdom where different legal and regulatory conditions apply and where money may be treated differently in the event of an intermediary failing. If you are a consumer, you can ask them to pass your money to an intermediary outside of the United Kingdom or in a particular country.
  • arrange to hold certain investments with a value at least equal to the money that would otherwise have been paid into a separate client account. If they do this, they will be responsible for meeting any shortfall in the client money funds if the shortfall is due to a reduction in the market value of those investments.

10.9. If, in the process of handing client money, they earn interest or benefit from investment income or from foreign rate movements, they will keep any such amounts.


11. Confidentiality and Security

11.1.
