On a return premium, we will repay commission on the amount to your insurer and this will be deducted from the final amount due to you. If a policy
is cancelled we will refund any return premium due after deduction of our commission and our fee and/or charges as follows:
Where a consumer cancels the policy after the 14 day cancellation period for general insurance contracts or 30 days for pure protection and payment
protection contracts we will refund any return premium after deduction of the commission and our fees and/or charges pro-rata to the period for which
the contract is in effect.
Where a commercial customer cancels the policy we will refund any return premium after deduction of the commission and our fees and/or charges
from return premium pro-rata to the above.
There will be no refund of premium where a fault claim has occurred
Minimum Deposit Contracts:
Minimum deposit contracts can be cancelled, however, cancellation will not generate a premium refund and full payment of the premium must be
made, whether payment is made by a single payment or by instalments, including by direct debit. Minimum deposit contracts include Goods In Transit
insurance and some types of Liability insurance such as Public Liability and Employers Liability insurance. A list of policies which are minimum
deposit contracts is available on request.
