Please consult the applicable policy for its exact terms and conditions.

We help to connect you with insurance companies for which we act as an agent based on information you provide. In addition, we may work with insurance intermediaries to connect you with other insurance companies with which we do not have a relationship. We also provide enrollment assistance and customer support services.

As such, you authorize us to take any actions appropriate to act as the agent for the insurance carrier, including transmitting your information to insurance carriers to obtain quotes and to submit cancellations if you instruct us to, to Paychex, Inc. and its affiliates, and to third party vendors to service your policy and to provide additional services and quotes, and to use any and all of your information in a manner appropriate for such purposes.

All decisions regarding any insurance products, including approval, premium, commissions, and fees, will be made solely by the authorized insurance company underwriting the insurance under the insurer's then-current criteria. We do not guarantee that you will obtain coverage or the terms of any such coverage, nor do we guarantee that an insurance company or insurance intermediary to which we forward your User Information will find you coverage or provide you coverage.

3. ACCOUNTS

3.1 Account Registration

While certain areas of the Website are publicly available, you may be required to register for a user account before you are able to use certain Services in which case you may register to create an account directly via the Website. You may not register for an account on behalf of any person other than yourself or a business organization for which you are authorized to act. No person or entity may have more than one active account at any given time.

3.2 Account Set-Up

Your account and account profile will be created based upon the information you provide to us or that we obtain via other authorized means, consistent with our Privacy Policy.

You agree to provide complete, accurate and up-to-date information during the registration process and to update such information as necessary to ensure that it remains complete, accurate and up-to-date.

When you create your account, you will be asked to create a password, which you will be solely responsible for safeguarding. We encourage you to use "strong" passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols) with your account or any other account that you may connect to your account. You agree not to disclose your password to any third party, and you agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account. You further acknowledge and agree that you will be solely responsible for, and we may rely on, any activities, actions, instructions, or information provided on or through your account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.

3.3 Account Suspension and Cancellation

You may cancel your account at any time. If you do so you may no longer be able to access certain Services.

We may in our discretion, without liability to you and without limiting our other remedies, with or without prior notice and at any time, limit, suspend, deactivate, or cancel your account and/or take technical and legal steps to prevent you from using our Website and Services at any time for any reason, and screen or delay the posting or delivery of your User Information.

Without limiting the foregoing, we may suspend or terminate your account or your access to the Website if you create more than one account, if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter is determined to be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, deceptive, or fraudulent, and we may cancel unconfirmed accounts or accounts that have been inactive. We may also cancel accounts of Users who fail to comply with the Terms, including the terms and conditions regarding User conduct, as set forth in the "User Conduct Guidelines" section below and elsewhere in the Terms.

If your account is deactivated or cancelled, we will have the right, but not the obligation to delete your User Information.

If we suspend your account due to your actual or suspected breach of the Terms, such suspension may continue at least until the suspected breach is cured or otherwise resolved to our reasonable satisfaction.

Cancellation of your account does not affect the status of any insurance policy you purchased. However, insurance may be cancelled if you fail to make required payments or otherwise maintain your insurance policy, and if you use the Website in conjunction with these things that functionality may not be available to you if you do not have an active account. Cancellation of your insurance policy is governed by the terms of the policy and the requirements of the issuing insurance company from which you purchased the policy. Please see section 4.4 for fees that may apply if you choose to cancel your insurance policy.

When an issue arises, we may consider any factor we deem relevant including the User's history and the specific circumstances in interpreting and applying our policies, and to determine how strictly to enforce such policies.

9. INTERPRETATION & DISPUTE RESOLUTION

9.1 Governing Law

The Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws of the state of New York without regard to conflict of law principles.

9.2 Arbitration

Subject to section 93 below but otherwise notwithstanding any contrary provision of these Terms, all disputes, claims, controversies, and matters relating to or in connection with these Terms or the breach thereof or any transactions hereunder shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules"), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration shall take place in Rochester, New York before a single neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the AAA Rules and shall be conducted in the English language. All arbitrations shall be conducted and resolved on an individual basis and not a class-wide, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar basis; the arbitrator will not have authority to resolve cases otherwise. No arbitration shall be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding involving any other person or entity without our consent. The arbitrator will render a reasoned, written opinion based on the law and evidence adduced only (and not on notions of fairness).

9.3 Jurisdiction and Venue

Subject to the above arbitration provisions, the parties agree that any and all disputes, claims and actions, at law or in equity, arising out of or relating to or in connection with the Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, the Services, or the use of the Website (collectively, "Disputes") will be resolved exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Monroe County, New York and each party agrees and consents that such courts shall have jurisdiction and venue for any such actions, except that we retain the right to submit a Dispute to any court of competent jurisdiction. We also may seek injunctive or other equitable relief for breach of these Terms in any court of competent jurisdiction wherever located. You consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in such courts and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum. The prevailing party in any suit, action, or proceeding, including any arbitration proceeding, will be entitled to recover its reasonable legal fees and costs and expenses.

9.4 Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief

YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US OR OUR AFFILIATES ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, OR OTHER COLLECTIVE ACTION TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. UNLESS BOTH WE OTHERWISE AGREE IN WRITING, NO COURT OR ARBITRATOR MAY CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR ENTITY’S CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE PERMIT ANY FORM OF CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

9.5 Future Amendments to this Section

If we make any amendment to this Dispute Resolution section (other than an amendment to any notice address or site link provided herein) in the future, that amendment will not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against us prior to the effective date of the amendment. However, the amendment will apply to all other disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between the parties.
