What are my obligations?

When and how do I pay?

This is a monthly subscription insurance policy. Your initial payment is payable by credit or debit card before your policy starts. Once your policy is active, the premium is payable monthly by Direct Debit and/or recurring card payment. We will automatically take payment each month from the bank or building society account you nominate or the card you have specified on or around the billing date you choose.

If we are unable to take an automated recurring payment, we will immediately notify you and request payment via credit or debit card. We will give you a minimum of 24 hours notice to pay by card before issuing 7 days cancellation notice in writing via email to your last known email address. If payment is not received, your policy will be cancelled at the end of your 7 day notice period.

When does the cover start and end?

Cover starts on the date shown on your schedule and remains in force until you or we cancel.

How do I cancel the contract?

You can cancel the policy at any time through your customer account. Cover will cease immediately, and we will return a pro rata proportion of the premium for the period for which you have already paid but for which cover is not required. If a prejudicial claim has been made since the start of the policy term, the full premium paid will be retained by us. You will not be charged a fee to cancel your policy.
