Payment for our services may be by way of:

1.    A fee that we agree in advance with you
2.    Brokerage/commission, which is a percentage of the insurance premium paid by you and given to us by the insurers with whom we place your business; or
3.    Reasonable charges in addition to any insurance premiums for the administration, arranging, amending, renewing and cancelling of any policy of insurance.

Payment for our services may be a combination of a), b) and c). The taxation element of any insurance premium is not subject to commission.

Details of any fees/charges will be declared to you in advance of them being incurred so that you are able to make an informed decision. We may receive additional payments such as a profit share or profit commission from insurers’ payable under a delegated underwriting authority or other facility or individual contract in recognition of overall profitability. We may also earn income from arranging premium finance.

We are committed to transparency in our relationship with you and upon request we will be pleased to provide information regarding any earnings we may receive or may have received as a result of placing your business.

Unless we have specifically agreed otherwise, and subject to regulatory requirements, we earn our entire brokerage/commission or fees when we place the insurance policy for you. This means that if the insurance policy is subsequently terminated, amended or cancelled we reserve the right to retain the commission element of the premium. For Consumers this does not affect any statutory cooling off rights you may have. This Terms of Business Agreement constitutes both your acceptance that we may do this and your prior request for us so to do

Prior to your premium being forwarded to the insurer, and for your protection we hold it in a non-statutory trust  account. We may extend credit to other customers from this account and we may transfer your money to another intermediary in some cases. However your money will be protected at all times because of the requirement of FCA rules. We also reserve the right to retain interest earned on this account. By accepting this Terms of Business Agreement, you are giving your consent for us to operate in this way.

It is our intention to provide a high level of service at all times.  However if you have reason to make a complaint about our service you should contact The Compliance Officer at the above address or call 0115 9312800. You may be entitled to refer the matter subsequently to the Financial Ombudsman Service.  You can contact the Financial Ombudsman Service by telephone on 0800 0234567 and further information is available at http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/. If you do decide to refer any matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service your legal rights will not be affected

We are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.  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 90% of the claim, without any upper limit.  For compulsory classes of insurance, insurance advising and arranging is covered for 100% of the claim, also without any upper limit.
