Consumer Client Agreement - 2023

1. Introduction

This Agreement is between you and Howden Insurance Brokers Limited (“we”, “us”, “our”), a subsidiary of Howden Broking Group Limited, which is part of the Howden Group, whose registered office is One Creechurch Place, London, EC3A 5AF. We also trade under the names listed within Schedule 1.

The provision of insurance within the UK is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”). You are eligible to be treated as a ‘consumer’ under the FCA’s definition when you are buying insurance unconnected with a trade, business or profession. This Agreement provides you with the information about the basis on which we agree to act for you in arranging insurance as a consumer. If at any time you do not consider yourself to be a consumer, please contact us so we may provide a more appropriate client agreement.

2. Our Services

Treating you Fairly

We always aim to treat you fairly. This means that we will always endeavour to:

• conduct our business with due skill, care and integrity;

• not to put ourselves in a position where our duty to you is

compromised;

• deal with complaints sympathetically and independently;

• be transparent in the matter of our remuneration; and

• respect your confidentiality.

Basis of agreement

The intention of this Agreement is to clearly and concisely establish the basis of our relationship with you and the services that we will provide in respect of each insurance contract that we arrange or have arranged on your behalf, unless there is a more specific written agreement between us. If after receiving this Agreement you instruct us to act on your behalf, we will take this as being your informed consent to you being bound to the terms set out in this Agreement in relation to any services provided to you, by us, on and after that date, and supersedes any previous Agreement that may have been sent to you by us or on our behalf.

Please read this Agreement carefully as it contains important information and sets out the terms on which we agree to act for you and all other persons named as joint policyholders on any policy of insurance we arrange on your behalf. It is your responsibility to obtain authority to act for all joint policyholders and to keep them informed of matters relating to the services we provide, including this Agreement. If you require additional copies of this Agreement, please let us know.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, we are entitled to deal with and act upon the instructions of any named policyholder, including a request to disclose information to joint policyholders of any policy of insurance we arrange on your behalf.

From time to time, it may be necessary for us to amend or supersede these terms by new terms which will be communicated to you in writing.

Please contact us immediately if there is anything in this Agreement that you do not understand or with which you disagree.

We do not offer advice on tax, legal, accounting, regulatory or sanctions matters, and you should seek separate advice where you consider it necessary in relation to such matters.

Communication

If you communicate with us via electronic means, including e-mail, we shall take this as your consent to receiving all information from us using the same communication method. However, upon your request, we will be happy to provide you with any information we have provided to you, in paper format.

Your Obligations

As a consumer you have a duty to take reasonable care to answer all of the insurers’ questions fully and accurately and to ensure that any information that you provide is not misleading. If you fail to do this, your insurers may be able to impose different terms on your policy cover, may charge you a higher premium or, in some circumstances, may be able to avoid your policy from its inception date and any claims made would not be paid.

This duty exists whilst arranging your policy, when it is renewed and any time that it is varied, and your policy documentation may provide that your duty continues for the duration of the policy.

Please contact us immediately for assistance if you do not fully understand what you need to advise insurers, if you are unsure whether any information provided may be misleading or if it comes to your attention that full and accurate information may not have been provided.

Conditions, warranties and subjectivities

It is important that you are clear and understand all the terms of any insurance contract that we provide to you. It is also important that you treat all conditions precedent and warranties seriously and comply strictly with them. Failure to do so may entitle the insurer to decline a claim under the policy. If you are aware that you are in breach of a warranty, you should keep a record of when the breach occurred and when the breach was remedied. You should always remedy a breach as quickly as possible. If the breach is not capable of remedy, you should tell us as soon as possible. If you have any doubts or reservations, you should tell us.

A subjectivity in your insurance contract may lead to the contract being invalidated or coverage prejudiced if the subjectivity remains outstanding. It is very important that you promptly satisfy any subjectivity so that it can be removed.

Scope of Services

We are permitted and normally provide some, or all of the following services, on the terms set out in this Agreement:

• arranging insurance cover for you;

• advising you on your insurance cover;

• assisting you with claims for the duration of your insurance

contract; and

• acting as an agent on your behalf.

Where the service we provide you does not include the provision of personal advice we will make this clear to you.

As an independent insurance intermediary we act as your agent. We are subject to the law of agency, which imposes various duties on us. However, in certain circumstances we may act for and owe duties of care to other parties. We will advise you when these circumstances occur, so you will be aware of any possible conflict of interest.

Some insurers may delegate authority to us to underwrite, bind and administer an insurance contract on their behalf, including handling and processing claims. We will notify you if your insurance contract is placed under a delegated authority, as when conducting these activities we will also be acting on behalf of insurers and not solely as your independent agent.

In the event that our interests conflict with a duty we owe to you, we shall refrain from taking any action until we have received your informed consent to our intended course of action.

Remuneration

Our usual remuneration is either by way of brokerage (also known as commission), being a percentage of the premium charged by insurers in respect of the insurance contract arranged by us, or a fee which is agreed in advance with you for the services provided by us, or with your agreement a combination of both. Our remuneration is fully earned upon the inception of the insurance contract and, in the event that the insurance is cancelled or is terminated after inception for whatever reason, or if our appointment is terminated for any reason, we may retain/recover the remuneration we have earned.

We may sometimes act as a reinsurance broker to an insurer to arrange reinsurance for the insurer directly involved with your insurance. This placement is subject to a separate and distinct contract with its own terms and conditions, including separate remuneration terms.

In addition to brokerage or fee, we may be remunerated, by the payment of profit commissions, profit shares, service fees and commissions by insurers in respect of a specified portfolio of business, usually placed under a delegated authority.

Where we introduce you to our preferred premium finance company, we receive additional remuneration for the administration services we provide for the premium finance company. You remain free to make your own choice of premium finance provider.

If we introduce you to another intermediary to access an insurance product for you, we may receive a proportion of the brokerage received by the other intermediary and payable by insurers to them, out of the premium which you pay.

We may introduce you to a third party service provider and, in doing so, we may receive a proportion of the fee you pay to them, in recognition of the role we have undertaken in effecting the introduction. You will not be obliged to use the services of the third party service provider.

We are committed to ensuring that our remuneration and payments we may make to third parties are transparent and so, at your request, we will fully disclose our remuneration, including any income additional to the brokerage or fee.

Basis of Insurance Policy or Product Selection

Before commencing negotiations with insurers, we look to establish a proper understanding of your insurance requirements. We will advise on appropriate insurances available to meet your requirements and the relative merits of a single insurer or a multiple insurer policy. We seek to negotiate and secure competitive quotations for insurance, which provide a level of coverage, which, in our opinion, is suitable for you. Where we are unable to meet your requirements, we will advise you.

Our search for insurance to meet your requirements may vary depending on the nature of your requirements and our knowledge and experience of the insurance market, which may mean that we approach:

• a single insurer only;

• a range of insurers;

• a number of insurers to participate collectively in insuring the risk

presented to them;

• a Howden Group Managing General Agent (MGA) who holds a

delegated authority from certain insurers to quote and bind cover

on their behalf and is remunerated by insurers for its services. If

we have provided terms from a Howden Group MGA for your

consideration, it is identified in your quotation and/or policy

documentation, as are the details of the insurers on whose behalf

the MGA is acting;

• our own delegated authority arrangements, whereby insurers

have granted us authority to act on their behalf, which may

include underwriting the insurance risk presented and binding

them to cover.

Details of the approach we undertake and a list of insurers we select from or deal with in relation to any insurance contract or product we offer or arrange is available to you on request.

Policy Documentation

Our aim is to provide your policy documentation in a timely manner confirming the basis of the cover and giving details of the insurer(s). You should examine any insurance documents we send you very carefully to ensure they meet your requirements. If you believe they are incorrect please advise us immediately.

It is important that you keep your insurance documents safe.

Any paper documents that you provide to us will be treated as copy documents. Such documents may ultimately be destroyed by us in accordance with our document retention policy. Please let us know if you require any further information.

Midterm amendments and adjustments

Any changes to your circumstances that could impact your insurance needs or ability to comply with the terms of your insurance policy must be raised with us promptly and we request that any amendments to the insurance contract be communicated to us in writing. We will then use our best endeavours to get insurers’ agreement to these changes and will confirm this back to you, including any additional or return premium attributable to the changes, by way of an addendum or endorsement.

Renewal of Policies

In order to protect your interests relating to the risks you have insured, and in the event that we do not receive your instructions and payment prior to the date of renewal, we may (but shall have no obligation) to either renew your policy or arrange an alternative policy and (in the case of direct debit/instalment payments) to continue to accept payment from you, unless you specifically notify us that you either wish to cancel your policy or you do not require an alternative policy. In circumstances where we have assumed (in the absence of instructions to the contrary) that renewal or an alternative policy is required, you will be liable to make payment to us and/or the insurer(s), subject to this Agreement and to the cancellation clauses within your insurance policy.

Your agreement to this section provides us with your authority and represents your prior request for us to renew your policy or arrange an alternative policy as outlined above. You have the option to revoke this authority by advising us in writing at any time that cover may not be renewed or that alternative cover is not required.

Premium

An invoice will be sent to you clearly showing the amounts payable and date that the premium is due to be received by us in cleared funds. Please be aware that failure to meet the payment date may lead to the cancellation of your policy, although a time on risk charge may still be payable unless the insurer terminates the policy from the inception date.

Payment verification of our bank details

For new clients, on the first occasion that we provide you with our bank account details, we will provide you with contact details of the person(s) to contact to verify the bank account details and you must take reasonable steps to validate and confirm that our bank details are correct before making any payment.

For existing clients, in the event that we change our bank details:

• these will only ever be advised to you in a letter signed by our

Chief Financial Officer;

• we will provide you with contact details of the person(s) to

contact to verify the changed details; and

• we will use our best endeavours to provide you with not less than

four weeks’ notice of the change.

If you ever receive new bank account details from us, or someone purporting to be us, that does not follow the process outlined above, you should treat that communication as suspicious and immediately contact us to re-confirm the correct bank account details. We will have no liability for any losses you may suffer if you fail to appropriately verify our bank account details as outlined above.

Client Money

Client money is any money that we receive and hold in the course of arranging or administering insurance on your behalf, or which we treat as client money, in accordance with the FCA Client Assets sourcebook (“CASS”). Such monies shall include:

• premiums paid by you to us for onward payment to insurers; and

• premium refunds and claims paid to us by insurers, for onward

payment to you.

Non-Statutory Trust Account (Client Account)

We provide protection for your money by holding all client money in a Non-Statutory Trust Client Money Account (Client Account), with one or more FCA approved bank(s).

This money is segregated from our own money and CASS requires us to maintain the solvency of the Client Account and conduct regular reconciliations. In the unlikely event of our failure, client money is available to clients ahead of other creditors.

Under CASS, money held in the Client Account may be used for the payment of premium or claims for another client before their monies are received, but increased controls are maintained where this occurs. We are not entitled to use client money to pay our fees or commission before we receive the relevant premium from you.

In the event that we elect to fund premium on your behalf, you acknowledge that any funded amount, whether arising as a result of a payment by us or a deduction by you from amounts payable to us, is to be refunded to us immediately, and that for the duration of any funding, such funded amounts are not considered to be a gift from us. We reserve the right to charge interest on any such funded items from the date the funding commenced to the date of payment.

Risk transfer

In some instances, we may have agreed in writing with an insurer to receive insurance monies as their agent under a risk transfer arrangement. In such cases, this means that where:

• you have paid premium to us, it is deemed to have been paid and

received by the insurer, even if we fail to forward it to the insurer;

or

• the insurer has paid premium refunds of claims to us for onward

payment to you, the insurer remains liable to you for those

monies, until you have received them.

In all such cases where we have entered into a risk transfer arrangement with insurers, in accordance with CASS, they have consented to their monies being co-mingled and held in our Client Account, which means those monies are also afforded the protection associated with that account.

Segregation of designated investments

Whilst we pay client money into a Client Account, we may arrange to invest this in a segregated designated investment, as permitted under CASS. If we do this, we will be responsible for meeting any shortfall that is attributable to falls in the market value of that designated investment.

Interest on client money

We may earn interest on cash amounts held and may benefit from foreign exchange differentials and returns on segregated designated investments. As permitted by CASS, you agree that any such interest or investment returns shall belong to us and we shall not be required to account for it to you.

Payment to third parties

We may transfer client money to another person, such as another broker or settlement agent, for the purpose of effecting a transaction on your behalf. Where we act as agent of an insurer for the purposes of holding or receiving claim payments or returning premiums, we will remit them to such parties as the insurer directs us to pay. We may otherwise only pay client money to you or your duly authorised representative if we have your specific instruction or consent. Where an intermediary or settlement agent is outside the UK, the legal and regulatory regime applying to the intermediary or settlement agent will be different from that applicable in the UK and, in the event of a failure of the intermediary or settlement agent, the client money may be treated differently than if the client money was held by a broker or settlement agent in the UK.

Where you do not wish your money to be passed to a particular bank, intermediary or jurisdiction, you should tell us.

Claims notifications

You must notify us as soon as possible of any loss, claim or circumstance which falls within the notification provisions of your insurance contract. Failure to notify insurer(s) promptly may entitle them to reject your claim. You should not admit liability or agree to any course of action, other than emergency measures carried out to minimise the loss, or in the interests of health and safety, until you have obtained agreement from your insurer.

Details of claims notifiable to the insurer under the terms of the policy arranged may initially be advised to us by telephoning 01234 305555, unless you are required to make notifications directly to the insurer(s) concerned.

Claims procedures

We, or your insurer(s), will advise you on whether the claim is likely to be covered by your policy or not.

Unless otherwise instructed, we will act as your representative in negotiations with insurers and will endeavour to ensure prompt and equitable settlement of all valid claims.

However, where we have been granted authority by an insurer to negotiate and settle claims under a delegated authority, we will act on behalf of the insurer. We will make you aware of any claims that will be dealt with by us in this capacity, rather than as your agent.

You should be aware that we may perform a limited service for insurer(s) by relaying instructions, disseminating reports and collecting fees or other disbursements, for insurer(s)’ advisors (e.g. surveyors, adjusters and lawyers) where we consider this does not create a conflict of interest. If we consider a conflict of interest may arise, we will refrain from performing any (further) services for insurer(s), unless you otherwise agree in writing.

Claims payments due to you will be sent as soon as possible after they have been received by us on your behalf.

In the event that an insurer delays making settlement of a claim for any reason, we do not accept liability to pay such amounts, until and unless the insurer has paid the claim to us in cleared funds.

We will provide a claims broking service for you as long as you remain our client. However, if you cease to be our client but request us to continue to service any claim(s) on your behalf, we reserve the right to charge a specified fee to you for such claims broking services.

Complaints

We strive to do everything to ensure that you receive the best possible service. However, if you wish to make a complaint about our service you may do so by contacting any of our employees by whatever means is convenient to you. Alternatively, you can direct your complaint to our Compliance Team at the address set out at the beginning of this Agreement or by emailing: [email protected].

We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint in writing within 5 working days and give you our response to your complaint at this time if we can. If we are unable to respond to you within this period of time, we will provide you with our complaints procedure, (which is available on our website and on request) as well as further details as to when we will likely be in a position to respond.

If we cannot settle your complaint to your satisfaction, you may be eligible to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (“FOS”) or for policyholders based in Guernsey or Jersey, the Channel Islands Financial Ombudsman (“CIFO”).

The FOS is an independent and free to access service in the UK for settling disputes between consumers and businesses providing financial services. You can find more information on the FOS at www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk or in our complaints procedure which is available on our website or by request.

For clients based in the Channel Islands, the CIFO is an independent and free to access service in the Channel Islands for settling disputes between eligible complainants and businesses providing financial services. You can find more information on the CIFO at www.ci-fo.org. For policyholders located in Guernsey, if we have not provided you with a final response within three months of becoming aware of your complaint, we shall inform the GFSC and remind you of your rights to also inform the GFSC directly of your complaint.

Compensation

We do not and cannot guarantee the solvency or continuing solvency of any insurer. You should be aware that the financial position of an insurer can change once insurance has been placed with them and this may have an effect long after the insurance has expired if there is an outstanding claim with them.

We are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (“FSCS”). You may, depending on where the risk is located, your status and the type of insurance policy concerned, be entitled to compensation from the scheme, if we or your insurer cannot meet their obligations.

Further Information about the Scheme is available from the FSCS, (10th Floor, Beaufort House, 15 St. Botolph Street, London EC3A 7QU) and on their website: www.fscs.org.uk.

Financial Crime

We are obliged to conduct reasonable due diligence to protect us and our clients against the risk of financial crime. At the start and throughout our relationship, we will require you to provide evidence to assist us in verifying your identity and/or legitimacy of any transactions we conduct on your behalf. We may also take reasonable steps to verify any payment details you provide to us.

Neither party shall be involved in the offering, promising or giving of any financial or other advantage to any person in breach of any applicable anti-bribery laws (including the Bribery Act 2010, the Prevention of Corruption (Bailiwick of Guernsey Law) 2003 and Corruption (Jersey) Law 2006). Both parties shall also maintain their own policies and procedures which ensure compliance with applicable laws, including the Criminal Finances Act 2017 in so far as it applies to them, in order to prevent the facilitation of tax evasion. We are obliged to report evidence or suspicion of financial crime to the relevant authorities at the earliest reasonable opportunity and may be prohibited from disclosing any such report to you.

We shall not provide brokerage services or pay any claim or provide any benefit under this Agreement with any client that is the subject of any trade and economic Sanctions or embargos adopted and/or enforced by the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, the European Union and its Member States, Her Majesty's Treasury, the United Nations Security Council or other relevant economic Sanctions and embargo control authority across the world (collectively referred to herein as "Sanctions"), nor shall we provide services to any client that is located, organised or resident in a country or territory that is the subject of comprehensive country Sanctions, as may be adopted and enforced from time to time.

We will also be unable to provide brokerage services to any individuals and/or entities within any country or territory which is the subject of any targeted or transactional country Sanctions, which may be adopted and enforced from time to time. The insurer may not be deemed to provide cover and may not be liable to pay any claim or provide any benefit under your insurance contract insofar as the provision of such cover, payment or claim may expose the insurer or its related companies to any prohibition or restriction under the Sanctions.

If Sanctions apply, we shall not be able to process already notified claims and your insurers may terminate your insurance contract, and not pay any notified claims. If you become subject to Sanctions after the entry into force of this Agreement, we may have to terminate our relationship and your insurer may invoke its cancellation rights under your insurance contract. The parties to this Agreement shall notify each other immediately of any suspicion of exposure to Sanctions.

Confidentiality and Data Protection Summary

This is a summary of how we use your information, including where this information contains personal data and/or special categories of personal data such as information related to the physical or mental health of an individual. To the extent that we process personal data in connection with this Agreement, we shall generally do so as a controller in our own right. For certain ad-hoc services, and where you are an organisation, we may act as your processor, in which case we will enter into a separate agreement with you to enable us to comply with Data Protection Law. Further information about how and why we collect and use personal data can be found in our Privacy Notice, which can be accessed through our website at www.howdengroup.com/uk-en or we can provide this to you on request. Our Privacy Notice also explains what rights are available to individuals and how those rights can be enforced.

Your Obligations Where you provide us with the personal data of individuals, for example your employees, officers, clients, dependents or other third party individuals, you shall be responsible for ensuring that you have a lawful basis for sharing this information with us, and that you provide these individuals with a copy of our Privacy Notice.

Our Obligations

We shall comply with applicable Data Protection Law whenever we are processing information that contains personal data, and we have policies and procedures in place to protect and manage that information. We shall treat all such information as confidential, and we shall ensure that personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, transparently and in compliance with Data Protection Law.

Data Sharing

In order to deliver the services described in this Agreement, we may need to disclose your information to a range of third parties for the purposes of obtaining (re)insurance or employee benefit quotations as applicable, arranging, placing or administering cover for you, or providing any other related services. These third parties may include, where applicable, (re)insurers, other intermediaries, risk management assessors, uninsured loss recovery agencies, service providers, industry regulators, anti-fraud organisations, credit reference agencies, premium finance providers, auditors and other third parties involved directly or indirectly in our provision of services to you.

Many of these third parties receive and process personal data as controllers in their own right and are therefore independently responsible for the processing they undertake, but where a third party receives personal data as our processor we shall ensure that we satisfy the applicable requirements under Data Protection Law. Where we agree to make a third party platform or portal available to you, we retain responsibility for any personal data collected through that channel.

We may also make your information available to other Howden Group companies whom support us in providing our services to you. They may use this information for statistical analysis, business reporting or for external business development purposes for which they may receive remuneration, such as providing market insight to (re)insurers on a confidential basis. We and they will only disclose personal data to third parties outside of the Howden Group in accordance with Data Protection Law, or in an anonymised and/or aggregated format where necessary to support the purposes stated above.

International Transfers

Where such disclosures necessitate transfers of personal data to third party recipients outside of the UK, we will ensure that personal data is protected as required by Data Protection law. This may include adopting the UK’s International Data Transfer Agreement (“IDTA”), or other permitted transfer mechanism, in the event that the third party recipient is based in a country or jurisdiction that has not received an adequacy decision under Data Protection Law.

Call Monitoring

Please note that telephone calls may be recorded and monitored for training, quality assurance, complaint-handling and other internal investigation purposes.

Definitions

“Data Protection Law” means the UK GDPR (which merges the Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK’s retained sections of the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (“GDPR”); and any amended or successor legislation to the UK GDPR

References to “"Controller", “Processor”, "Personal Data", “Processing” and “Special Category Data” shall have the meanings given to them under Data Protection Law.

Third Party Rights

Other than where it is contemplated elsewhere in this Agreement, a person who is not a party to this Agreement shall not have any rights under or in connection with it.

Jurisdiction and Choice of Law

This Agreement and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter shall be governed by and construed with the laws of England and Wales.

We both irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim that arises out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter.

Your statutory rights to cancel your insurance policy

Provided you have not made any claim for benefits, you have a statutory right to cancel your policy, without penalty and without having to provide any reason, within 14 days*. This statutory period begins from the date the insurance contract was concluded or, if later, from the date you received the policy terms and conditions (and any other related documents that we were required to provide to you). (*30 days for some contracts).

If you choose to cancel your insurance policy after this time, the terms of your policy may allow insurers to retain the premium in full or to charge short-period premiums in the event of cancellation before the policy expires.

Full details of your rights to cancel your policy will be included within your insurance policy.

You should make any request for the cancellation of a policy in writing to us and any relevant certificate of insurance or other contractual document must be returned to us or to the insurer concerned.

Termination of this agreement

Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing 14 days’ written notice. In the event of termination we shall advise you of any outstanding matters and agree with you how these matters will be concluded.

We may end our relationship with you at any time by writing to you if you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the services.

If you have paid us any fees for our services, and where we have not yet undertaken any work on your behalf, we will return these to you without penalty.

However, if you have already received the benefit of our services you will still be obliged to pay for those services. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, if our relationship ends, any transactions previously initiated will be completed according to this Agreement. You will be liable to pay for any transactions concluded prior to the end of our relationship and we will be entitled to retain commission received for conducting these transactions, together with any fees charged by us for services provided.

The termination of the Agreement shall be without prejudice to rights and obligations accrued in respect of any services already provided prior to the date on which its provision is terminated.

In the case of termination, and except where you have exercised your statutory rights to cancel your policy, where the insurer requires us to repay any commission earned for arranging your policy, we shall be entitled to charge you the reclaimed commission.
