Insurance and your protection
Our strategic partner for this website, Moneysupermarket,com
is a member of the General Insurance Standards Council ("GISC"),
which is an independent organisation set up to regulate
the sales, advisory and service standards of members (insurers,
intermediaries (including brokers), agents and anyone acting
for them). Its main purpose is to make sure that general
insurance customers are treated fairly.
The private customer code
This private customer code sets the minimum standards of
good practice that all members of GISC must follow when
they deal with private customers. It gives you important
protection and should help you to understand:
A) How insurers, intermediaries and agents, and anyone
acting for them, must deal with you.
B) What information you should receive before you commit
yourself to buying any insurance.
C) How your insurance should be dealt with once it is in
place.
Insurance products and services covered by the private
customer code
The private customer code covers all types of general insurance
products and services that are sold to private customers,
including: Motor Insurance, Home insurance - buildings and
contents, Insurance for caravans, boats, pets and other
property, Travel insurance, Private medical and Dental insurance,
Personal accident insurance, Extended warranty and Breakdown
insurance, Legal expenses insurance, and Payment protection
insurance for mortgages and other loans.
Your legal rights
The Private Customer Code forms part of the Membership
contract (which is governed by English Law) between GISC
and us. Nothing in the Private Customer Code or in our membership
Contract with GISC will give any person any right to enforce
any term of our Membership Contract which they would otherwise
have under the Contracts (Right of Third Parties) Act 1999.
