You are only permitted to use our website if you are a UK resident and you are using it for personal use. Commercial use of our website is strictly prohibited and we reserve the right to take steps - including legal action - against any person or company who uses our website or services for commercial use or in any other unauthorised manner. Unauthorised use includes (but is not limited to) breach of copyright, processing multiple quotes for other customers or companies, and other companies checking their prices against those presented on this website.

You are not permitted to do anything that may affect the security of our website or any information or material stored within it.

Disclaimer

The content on our site does not constitute advice or a recommendation upon which you should rely. It is provided for general information purposes only so that you can select the product that you feel is most appropriate to meet your needs. You should always check the suitability, adequacy and appropriateness of the product that is of interest to you. Professional or specialist advice should always be sought before taking any action relating to a mortgage or insurance related inquiry.

By submitting enquiries and using our website you are agreeing to the Terms & Conditions in relation to our non-advised insurance and mortgage services. It is crucial that you answer any questions honestly, accurately and in full, and that you disclose all relevant facts and information. It is your responsibility to identify and correct any mistakes or errors in the information held by the insurance or mortgage provider about you before you apply for the product. Failure to do so could invalidate the product you purchase, meaning, for example, that you could be responsible for any third party costs if any event occurs where you would otherwise have been covered by an insurance product.

The information you provide may be used to carry out certain credit checks through licensed credit-referencing agencies. This is used as part of the underwriting process for mortgage and insurance providers. A record of this search will be made although this will not adversely affect your credit profile.

You agree that we may use your data to send you renewal quotes as a reminder when your policy is due to expire. This involves reusing the data you previously supplied to us and some providers may carry out soft credit checks as part of this process. These searches will be visible on your credit file, but will be clearly noted as being for quotation purposes and they will not affect your chances of obtaining credit in the future.

It is crucial that before you apply for any mortgage or insurance product that you carefully read the terms and conditions of the product and any other documentation that applies and to ensure that the product matches your requirements and that you agree to the terms and conditions of the product before applying for it. We accept no responsibility or liability for any loss or damage you may suffer or incur in the event that any product you apply for does not meet your requirements or is not suitable for you.

We make no representation, warranty, or guarantee that our site will meet your requirements, that it will not infringe the rights of third parties, that it will be compatible with all software and hardware, or that it will be secure.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that content on our site is complete, accurate, and up-to-date. We do not, however, make any representations, warranties or guarantees (whether express or implied) that the content is complete, accurate, or up-to-date.
