• In order to get a quote through our comparison service, you will need to answer a number of questions which are required by the underlying product providers to enable them to provide a quote. The answers you give will determine the cover you can be offered and the amount you will need to pay for the level of cover you receive. You must get permission from any other people whose details you propose to use in requesting a quote, before you provide us with any of their information. This applies to all information that you provide, but especially sensitive data like health information or criminal proceedings or convictions. In submitting any other person's details, you are confirming to us that you have their permission to do so, and that they understand how their information will be used.
• All information you provide is true, accurate and complete and that you disclose all relevant and material facts. Failure to do so could lead to a product being unsuitable, claim being declined or product being terminated by the provider. We cannot be held responsible if as a result of your error in providing correct information, or from a failure to disclose all material facts to us or your selected provider that the product is unsuitable, a claim is declined or the product is terminated.

If any information is not correct, it is your responsibility to identify the mistake and correct this with the provider directly.
