Your Authorization When Signing up with IndyCover Insurance Agency

By signing up with IndyCover Insurance Agency (“IndyCover”), you agree that we will shop insurance on your behalf. To shop insurance for you, we may ask you to authorize us to obtain and review your insurance coverage information by providing your personal information to us. Accordingly, you authorize us to send request(s) to your current insurance company or agent for them to send all your insurance policy information to us, if needed. During the course of using our services, if you have insurance policies with insurance companies we do business with that allow for broker of record changes, we may ask you to appoint IndyCover as your new broker of record. We will not become your broker of record unless you give IndyCover express authorization to do so. You agree that we may send communications to your insurance provider using your automatically generated e-signature as authorization.

 

IndyCover uses third party partners to provide additional quotes for insurance carriers that we do not have direct appointments with. We request our partners and those carriers to share with us certain information, including but are not limited to, policy number, term length, policy premium and effective date, so that we may provide that information to you and enhance your user experience on our site. The information will be what was provided by the carrier and may or may not be accurate based on the processes of the said carrier.

Your Authorization When Using IndyCover for Your Insurance Payment

If you intend to purchase insurance from an insurance company through IndyCover, you agree and understand that (1) IndyCover is an insurance agent that may collect premium on behalf of the insurance company at its direction; (2) IndyCover retains the right to collect unpaid premium on the insurance company's behalf; (3) IndyCover retains the right to change billing method on file with the insurance company if the insured does not make payment.

 

Tools We May Offer: We may from time to time offer you the ability to access certain financial management tools. Examples of such tools may include, but are not limited to, bill payment reminders and other similar services. Unless we indicate otherwise, these tools will be provided to you free of charge and are provided exclusively for personal use.

 

Limitations on Tools: You agree that we may modify the tools or cease making them available to you at any time without notice. We have no obligation to continue to make any particular tool available to you or to do so without charge. If we modify a tool or cease to make a tool available to you, you understand that you may lose access to any information that you may have supplied in connection with your use of the tool and have no rights to obtain such information from us. To the extent that the tools present information regarding financial accounts you may have with other lenders or financial institutions, you understand that the information may not be up to date. Before acting on any such information, you should confirm its accuracy with the lender or financial institution holding the account. There may be times when a tool we offer is unavailable or not properly functioning, and you agree that we have no liability to you if this occurs or in connection with the tools generally. You may need certain hardware or software to utilize the tools, and you understand that your failure to have such hardware or software will result in your not being able to use the tools or some tool functionality. You understand that some tools or some tool functionality may only be available to consumers who have relationships with certain lenders, service providers or financial institutions or who have certain financial products. If you do not have such relationships or products, you understand that you may not be eligible to use a tool or all of its functionality. You agree that we may use information we gather through the tools to market other products and/or services to you, including those of third parties.

 

Third Party Providers: IndyCover may rely on third party providers to assist in making a tool or other IndyCover Service available to you. By linking your bank account to IndyCover via a third party provider, you authorize IndyCover and its third party providers to access information about your financial accounts on your behalf, and to gather information about you, including but not limited to your account balance, and whether your account is in good standing. You give us and our third party providers a limited power of attorney, and appoint us and our third party providers as your true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent to act on your behalf and access, transmit, and use your information as necessary to provide the tools and other Services. You agree to the transfer, storage, and processing of your information by these third party providers in accordance with their respective privacy policies, including third party’s privacy policy. We have no liability to you for any damages you may suffer as a result of any such third party’s actions or inactions or from inaccurate account information.

 

Cancelling Payments. We may choose not to provide service to you or to specific merchant sites at any time for any reason, including but not limited to your history of transactions on our site, the user’s account history or any other reason. At termination of your relationship with IndyCover, you may still have a balance with IndyCover. You may still owe money (or owe money to) IndyCover at the termination of your relationship with IndyCover. Any outstanding balance will be resolved with final debit or credit transaction(s).

 

Return Insurance Premium. You understand and agree that any premium due to you upon cancellation, by you or us, will be returned to you as directed by the insurance company.

How IndyCover will use the user's payment information. As an agent of the insurance carrier, IndyCover will charge your selected payment method (such as your credit card, debit card, gift card/code, etc.) to collect insurance premium, fees, and facilitate other transactions as directed by the insurance carrier, including any applicable taxes. IndyCover, its affiliates, or other third parties will store your payment information for the purposes of conducting transactions. You authorize IndyCover to: (i) periodically initiate payments from or debits against your financial account(s) for the amounts then due to the insurance carrier as directed by the carrier; (ii) initiate any other payments or debits authorized by you or anyone using your account; iii) periodically verify the balance of your account using 3rd party tools as enrolled by the user. This authorization will remain in force for thirty (30) days after you change your payment preferences. All payments must be made in U.S. dollars. You acknowledge and agree that IndyCover may share your information, including information about your financial accounts, with our payment partner for this purpose. You should be aware that online payment and debit transactions are subject to validation checks by our payment partner and your card issuer or financial institution, and we are not responsible if your card issuer or financial institution declines to authorize payment or a debit for any reason. For your protection, our payment partner uses various fraud prevention protocols and industry standard verification systems to reduce fraud and you authorize our Payment Partner to verify and authenticate your payment information. Please note that it is possible that your card issuer or financial institution may charge you an online handling fee or processing fee for these online transactions. We are not responsible for such fees. You understand and agree that no transaction, including without limitation the purchase of any insurance policy, is final until you receive a confirmation from IndyCover.

 

If your primary payment method cannot be charged for any reason (such as expiration or insufficient funds), you authorize IndyCover to attempt to charge your other eligible payment methods. If IndyCover cannot charge you, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts due to the insurance carrier, and IndyCover or the carrier may attempt to charge you again or request that you provide another payment method. In accordance with local law, IndyCover may automatically update your payment information regarding your payment methods if provided such information by the payment networks or your financial institutions.

 

Payment Reminders. You agree to allow IndyCover to send you payment reminders from time-to-time. Such payment reminders may take the form of any available communication.

California Waiver. If you are a California resident, to the extent permitted by California law, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party,” or any statute or common law principle of similar effect.

 

Indemnification. You hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless IndyCover, its affiliates and their respective owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, and/or licensors from and against any and all claims, losses, expenses, liabilities, damages or demands (including attorneys' fees and costs incurred), in connection with or resulting from, directly or indirectly: (i) your use or misuse of or inability to use the IndyCover Services, (ii) your violation of this Agreement, (iii) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; and (iv) your information and content that you submit or transmit through the IndyCover Services. IndyCover reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to your indemnification. You will not, in any event, settle any such claim or matter without the prior written consent of IndyCover.

Dispute Resolution

Arbitration. Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the IndyCover Services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms of Use as a court would. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to IndyCover’s Registered Agent/Legal Department, located at 111 Dallas Street Suite 16 Argyle Texas 76226. The arbitration will be conducted in Santa Clara, California, by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, IndyCover will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

 

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

 

Applicable law. By accessing or using the IndyCover Services, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of a different country or state, will govern these Terms of Use and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and IndyCover.

Other Provisions

General. You may not assign these Terms without IndyCover's prior written approval. IndyCover may assign these Terms without your consent to: (i) a subsidiary or affiliate; (ii) an acquirer of IndyCover's equity, business or assets; or (iii) a successor by merger. Any purported assignment in violation of this section shall be void. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent under law. IndyCover's failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by IndyCover in writing.

 

Complaints of copyright infringement. We respect the intellectual property of others. We will respond to properly submitted notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law. In the event that a person or entity has a good faith belief that any materials provided through the IndyCover Services infringe upon that person's or entity's copyright or other intellectual property right (such person or entity, a "Complainant") and sends to us a properly submitted copyright notice as indicated below, we will investigate, and if we determine, in our discretion, that the material is infringing, we will remove the content. All notices claiming an infringement of copyright rights must contain the following: (i) identification of the intellectual property right that is allegedly infringed (all relevant registration numbers, or a statement concerning the Complainant's ownership of the work, should be included); (ii) a statement specifically identifying the location of the infringing material, with enough detail that we may find it (please note it is not sufficient to merely provide a top level URL); (iii) the complete name, address, telephone number and email address of Complainant; (iv) a statement that Complainant has a good faith belief that the use of the allegedly infringing material is not authorized by the owner of the rights, or its agents, or by law; (v) a statement that the information contained in the notification is accurate, and under the penalty of perjury, Complainant is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other property rights that are allegedly infringed; and (vi) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the intellectual property rights that are allegedly being infringed.
