| 2 | Obtain and provide quotations and arranging your insurance cover, including processing renewals, adjustments and checking no claims discount and generally administering the Services purchased through us | As an insurance intermediary we will use the personal details provided to try and obtain a competitive insurance quote from our insurance providers. This will include using Special Categories of Personal Data and Criminal Conviction Data to allow us to do this.
To allow us to get a quote we use automated decision-making (further details of what this means is set out in more detail in this Privacy Policy below and you can click [HERE] to go this). To minimise potential fraud we use your Usage and Device Data, and where you have specifically consented, your Location Data to help us. Insurers are legally required to provide details of motor insurance policies to the Motor Insurance Database (MID) managed by the MIB. MID data may be used by certain statutory and authorised bodies including but not limited to the Police, the DVLA, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Northern Ireland (DVANI), the Insurance Fraud Bureau and other bodies permitted by law. Insurers also share information with each other via the CUE Register, and the Motor Insurance Anti-fraud and Theft Register (MIAFTR), and other data bases (including our own). This exchange of information enables us and insurance companies to verify the information that is provided during the quote or claims process (including information about any third party who is named on the policy) and help prevent fraud. We will generally undertake searches on your credit file to check your identity, assess affordability and credit worthiness, make decisions on whether to offer insurance products or services, credit scoring, to help prevent fraud and money laundering, when you apply to use our Services and will use credit reference agencies to do so and may also contact insurance providers, premium finance providers, and fraud prevention agencies or services. To do this we will need to provide such credit reference agencies with your Contact Details, Individual Details, Official Body Data, Property or Vehicle and Driving Information and Financial and Transaction Information. You should be aware that any insurance providers we approach for Services may also perform these checks as well. Credit checks are registered as general insurance searches. They will appear on your credit report and may be viewed by other companies when you apply for credit or insurance. These searches should not harm or adversely affect your credit profile. We will use in App-messaging and push notifications to contact you about important information relating to our Services, including when it your insurance policy is due for renewal. Whilst we appreciate that some of the processing carried out here may feel intrusive, we cannot provide you with a quote without undertaking this processing. |

Searches may be carried out as part of your quote and at any point throughout the duration of your insurance policy. A search with the DVLA will not show on your (or the named driver's) driving licence record. For details relating to information held about you by the DVLA, please visit https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence. Undertaking searches using your driving licence number helps insurers check information to prevent fraud and reduce incidences of negligent misrepresentation and nondisclosure. We or your insurer may also request your (or another relevant person included on the proposal/insurance policy) driving licence information, licence share code and/or a copy of the photocard at any time, for example when a claim arises or in order to validate information you have provided. |

For this we will also use your Usage and Device Data, including your IP address to assist us in identifying potentially fraudulent activities.

We may also use automated decision-making to help us tailor our marketing to you and ensure we make you aware of the most appropriate Services.
When you provide us with your personal data, we will share your personal data with the third parties set out below for the purposes set out in the Privacy Policy:

In the performance of our activity as an insurance intermediary we may from time-to-time act as a Data Processor, for example where we collect or return premiums, or notify claims.

Any insurance policy purchased through this Website will be subject to these Terms, the Insurance Terms & Conditions we provide to you and the full policy wording. Your policy will be issued as confirmation that cover has been issued, however, a sample copy of your insurer's policy wording is available on this Website. Your policy will be issued based on the information that you gave to us and the declarations you have made and you are strongly advised to read your policy carefully, as it is this document, the schedule and/or certificate that form the insurance contract you have purchased. If you are in any doubt over the policy terms or conditions please seek our advice promptly.
We operate a two stage sales process which means that whether you buy your insurance online or accept an offer by our sales team you will be contacted by our support team who will check through your information to make sure it is correct and that you are eligible. For policies that are not bought online your insurance cover will not be effective until you have received a call from our support team and they have confirmed to you when cover is effective from. If you have any doubts about your cover or you have not received your policy documents after making a purchase please contact our customer services staff immediately.
We reserve the right to retain your certificate(s) of insurance until all payments due under the policy have been made. Any agreed facilities for payment of premiums by instalments will include our right to retain certificates of insurance until all such payments have been received. By accepting this agreement you agree that delivery of any certificate including certificates of motor insurance to us shall constitute delivery to yourself in accordance with United Kingdom law.
Cover cannot be granted in the absence of premium payment, or part thereof. In the event of an initial payment not being authorised, cover may not be deemed to have been afforded in any way. It remains your responsibility therefore to ensure that sufficient funds are available so that cover may commence.
Please note that we are only able to arrange insurance on this Website for individuals resident in the United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland), continuously for the past 12 months and all contracts arranged through our agency are subject to English Law.
The policies available on this Website are underwritten by a number of different insurers. You will be told which insurer is underwriting any particular policy before you decide to purchase your insurance and you will also be provided with details of the insurer. If you need to clarify anything before buying any insurance policy please contact us. Our opening hours are Monday to Friday 8:30am to 6:30pm, Saturday 9:00am to 5:00pm, Sunday & Bank Holidays 10:00am to 4:00pm.
If you are eligible, we may be able to offer you the option to spread your payments under a credit scheme by introducing you to a third- party finance provider or an insurers’ instalment scheme. In providing this service we are a Credit Broker and not a Lender.
Paying for your insurance using premium finance will make the cost of your insurance more expensive compared to paying in full upfront. You should also be aware that the monthly instalments may not run for the full term of your insurance policy, for example typically an insurance contract will run for 12 months but you might pay 9, 10 or 11 instalments by direct debit.
Where applicable details of this service (including any other applicable charges) will be provided in the credit/scheme agreement that the financier will provide to you. We do not charge a fee to arrange direct debits but we may make an administration charge but the finance provider may make a facility charge, which will be explained to you when you arrange your policy, to cover the administration of the agreement throughout the term of your insurance policy.
Finance providers may also make additional charges which will be detailed in your credit agreement, for example:
If you have chosen this method of payment, and fail to keep up repayments your insurance policy is at risk of cancellation.
Following cancellation, you will be liable for the immediate payment of any shortfall outstanding and we reserve the right to employ the service of debt recovery agents where necessary.
Please note that a finance agreement is a contract between you and the finance provider, and is separate to the insurance contract.
Please also note that in the event of a claim, any balance of the total amount payable shall become due immediately on demand.
