12 Insurance Products
Our insurance service, provided by arrowe.io, enables you to search for and compare various insurance products from multiple insurance providers.
To compare or obtain a quote for any insurance product, you'll need to answer a series of questions on our website. These questions are designed to ensure that both we and the relevant insurance providers have all the necessary information to provide you with accurate and timely details about the insurance products you're interested in. Your responses to these questions will determine the level of coverage and the cost associated with the insurance product. It is of utmost importance that you answer these questions truthfully, comprehensively, and accurately, disclosing all relevant facts. Failure to do so could render the insurance product you purchase invalid, leaving you without coverage. In such cases, claims may not be paid, and you may be held responsible for any third-party costs arising from events that would have otherwise been covered by the insurance product.
To apply for an insurance product, you must get in touch with the respective insurance provider. We will provide you with a direct link to their website and/or a dedicated telephone number, along with any necessary identification to access your details.
Before applying for any insurance product, it's critical to verify all information held by the insurance provider about you to ensure its accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness. Any mistakes or errors in the information must be corrected before you proceed with your application. Failure to do so may jeopardize your selected insurance product's validity.
Please note that the information you provide may be used for specific credit checks carried out by licensed credit-referencing agencies. These checks are part of the underwriting process for certain insurance providers, and while a record of the search will be made, it will not adversely affect your credit profile.
Some insurance providers may share loyalty scheme data with their insurance underwriters to assess and rate your coverage, determining your premiums. If you are uncertain whether any information is relevant or should be disclosed, or if you suspect inaccuracies, you should communicate this to your prospective insurance provider before applying for the insurance product. Failure to provide complete and accurate information or to disclose any circumstances that may affect their risk assessment could lead to the invalidation of your insurance policy.
Most insurance providers make certain assumptions about you, which may differ from any assumptions made by us. It's your responsibility to review the assumptions made by insurance providers as they form an integral part of your contract with the selected insurance provider. If any assumption made by an insurance provider is incorrect, you must inform them before applying for any insurance product to prevent potential invalidation of the insurance product.
By using our services, you consent to us using your data to send you renewal quotes as your annual policy's expiration date approaches. These reminders may include generating a new quote for you based on previously provided information. It's crucial to ensure the accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of all your information before applying for any insurance product. Correcting any errors or inaccuracies in your information is your responsibility before proceeding with your application.
Before applying for any insurance product, it's essential to thoroughly read the product's terms and conditions, the insurance provider's terms and conditions, and any other related documentation. Familiarize yourself with all the specifics of the insurance product, such as restrictions, exclusions, conditions, and obligations associated with it. It's your responsibility to ensure that the insurance product aligns with your needs, and you agree to its terms and conditions before applying. We bear no responsibility or liability for any losses or damages you may incur if the insurance product you apply for doesn't meet your requirements or isn't suitable for you.
