Your
duty to disclose information:
It is your responsibility to provide complete and accurate information
to insurers when you take out your insurance policy, throughout the
life of your policy and when you renew your insurance. It is important
that you all statements you make on proposal forms, claim forms and
other documents are full and accurate. If a form is completed on your
behalf, you should check that the answers shown to any of the questions
are true and accurate before signing the document. Failure to disclose
any material information to your insurers could invalidate your insurance
cover and mean that part or all of a claim may not be paid. If you are
in any doubt as to whether information is material, you should disclose
it.

As part of our service we can assist you with any claim you need to

Financial
Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)
We are covered by the FSCS. You may be entitled to compensation from
the scheme if we cannot meet our obligations. This depends on the type
of business and the circumstances of the claim. Insurance advising and
arranging is covered for 100% of the first £2,000 and 90% of the
remainder of the claim, without any upper limit. For compulsory classes
of insurance this increases to 100% of the claim, without any upper
limit. Further information about compensation scheme arrangements is
available from the FSCS.
Confidentiality
All personal information about you will be treated as private and confidential.
We will only use and disclose information we have about you in the normal
course of arranging and administering your insurance. We may pass information
about you to credit reference agencies for the purpose of arranging
payments via instalments and may also pass to them details of your payment
record with us. We will not disclose any information to any other parties
without your consent, unless required to do so because we are authorised
by the FSA, it is in the public interest, or we have to by law. We may,
however, use the information we hold about you to provide information
to you about other products and services which we feel may be appropriate
to you. Under the Data Protection Act 1998 you have a right to see personal
information about you that we hold in our records. If you have any queries
in this regard please write to us. If you do not wish to receive marketing
