Introduction to your insurance

We want to be there for you when you need us, so it’s really important that you take the time to read this policy booklet in full. It sets out what you need to do (or not do) and to be aware of, so that this policy will respond when you need it most.

After taking out this policy alongside this policy booklet, you will have also received the following documents:

  • a policy schedule which will include any endorsements;

  • a certificate of motor insurance; and

  • an Insurance Product Information Document (IPID). The IPID does not form part of your policy but is useful to read for a summary of the main covers and exclusions.

You can read a bit more about what these documents are and what they do under the ‘What words mean’ section below, but the really important bit is that this policy is made up of your policy booklet, policy schedule, and your certificate of motor insurance. You should read each one carefully, and if there is anything that you don’t understand, then please tell us straight away.

IMPORTANT

Please also keep in mind that this policy is based on the information that you gave to us and Zego when you were buying the insurance. If anything has changed since that time, or if you are aware of anything else significant which you think may impact upon the insurance cover provided, then you must tell us or Zego straight away, because if you don’t, it may mean that the policy won’t pay out.

Any changes to your policy may result in a change in your premium and may be subject to an administration fee. Administration fees are paid to Zego for the cost of arranging and handling your policy. Details of fees and charges can be found here - https://www.zego.com/fees-and-charges/ as shown in Zego’s Terms of Business. Any fees charged for your policy are non-refundable.

Conditions specific to legal expenses

Following policy terms

You must:

  • comply with all of the terms of this policy;

  • take all reasonable steps to minimise the cost of claims;

  • take all reasonable precautions to prevent a claim from happening;

  • notify us within 7 days of any incident which could lead to a claim or legal proceedings involving you;

  • send all letters, notices and communications regarding any claim made to us or the authorised representative.

If you fail to follow any of the terms of this policy, prejudicing our position, we have the right to:

  • refuse or withdraw from the claim;

  • refuse to cover legal costs – even if we have previously agreed to them;

  • ask you to reimburse legal costs that we have already paid.

Co-operating

You must:

  • cooperate with us and the authorised representative;

  • obtain our agreement before instructing a barrister or an expert witness;

  • keep us and the authorised representative up to date with any developments to do with the claim;

  • give us and the authorised representative any information, evidence and documents that you have or know about as soon as reasonably possible;

  • not take any action that has not been agreed by us or the authorised representative.

We may ask the authorised representative for information, documents or advice relating to a claim or legal proceedings whether privileged or not and on request you must give us any assistance necessary to ensure this happens. If the authorised representative refuses to grant such access we have the right to refuse to pay legal costs.

Choosing who represents you

We will appoint an authorised representative in your name and on your behalf. You may only change the authorised representative when it becomes necessary to start court proceedings, or if there is a conflict of interest and only with our prior agreement.

If you do want to choose your own representative:

  • you must make sure they are aware of the conditions of the policy and of the limits of your cover;

  • they must agree to our terms of appointment. We will only provide cover for their legal costs from the date they agree to our terms of appointment;

  • you will have a separate contract with them and if they charge any legal costs that we do not agree to, you will be responsible for paying these;

  • you must not enter into any agreement with them regarding the payment of your costs without our agreement;

  • we may withdraw consent given at any time where we have reasonable grounds to do so. For example your representatives fees are unreasonably high.

Ending who represents you

If the authorised representative refuses to continue acting, or if you dismiss them, we will end cover for legal costs immediately, unless we agree to a different authorised representative.

Ending your claim

You must tell us if:

  • you receive an offer to settle your claim;

  • If anyone makes a payment into court.

If you refuse an offer or payment that we or the authorised representatives think you should accept, we can refuse to provide cover for any further legal costs.

Unless we agree, you must not:

  • stop, settle, negotiate or withdraw your claim.

  • dismiss your authorised representative.

If you do stop, settle, negotiate or withdraw your claim without our and the authorised representative’s agreement, you may become liable to pay any legal costs we have paid.

Settling claims outside of court

We can choose to settle your claim outside of court if we think it makes financial sense to do this. If we do this we will give you the amount you are likely to be awarded by a court.

6. Telematics & integration

What is Sense

Sense is Zego’s app which uses your location information and motion data to build up a clearer understanding of how you drive, allowing us to offer you the fairest price possible.

That means we'll know:

  • how much you drive,

  • how far you drive,

  • which areas you drive in,

  • how quickly you go, and

  • how you accelerate, brake and corner.

This is the only data Sense can access. Sense cannot, and will not, access any other apps or documents, such as your emails, contacts, photos, banking information, health information, or social media.

What do you need to do

If you have taken out a Sense policy, as noted on your schedule 'Sense app required Yes', for us to provide you with cover you must:

  • install Zego’s Sense app; and

  • sign in; and

  • grant all motion, location and background permissions required to enable the app to operate and collect data in the background.


This must be done before or on the policy start date.

If you fail to do this we will provide you with warnings and a reasonable period to install Zego’s Sense app, sign in and grant all motion, location and background permissions required.

If you ignore the warnings we will cancel your policy in accordance with the ‘Cancellation’ section.

For more information on how to setup and set the correct permissions please visit:
https://www.zego.com/blog/how-to-download-and-log-in-to-the-zego-sense-app/

What can we do if you become non-compliant

If, during the period of insurance, you become non-compliant, we/Zego will send you warnings providing reasonable notice to allow you time to re-install the Sense app (if needed), sign in and grant all motion, location and background permissions required.

If you ignore our warnings and continue to be non-compliant we will cancel your policy in accordance with the ‘Cancellation’ section.

If we have previously issued you with a warning for being non-compliant on two or more separate occasions and you become non-compliant again, we may cancel your policy in accordance with the ‘Cancellation’ section.

If your policy is cancelled you may be entitled to a refund of premium paid, please refer to the ‘Cancellation’ section

How we use your driving data

Poor driving

Your driving score will be shown in the Sense app.

If your score suggests poor driving behaviour, such as reckless or dangerous driving for example, we will send you a warning identifying areas of concern and a time frame when your score must have improved by. You can see how you are driving and how you can improve in the Sense app.

If your score suggests that you continue to drive poorly despite our warnings, we may cancel your policy in accordance with the ‘Cancellation’ section.

Price

As we have said, the aim of the Sense app is to build up a clearer understanding of how you drive as an individual, allowing us to offer you the fairest price possible.
This means we may use your Sense data to provide a price which reflects how you drive.


You can see how you are driving and how you can improve on the Sense app.

Claims

We may use your Sense data to help make sure any claim made is settled fairly.
We may also use your Sense data to help us identify fraudulent claims.

Policy Information

It is important that you have provided complete and accurate information when answering our questions. If you don’t then your policy may be invalid and any claim may not be paid.

We may use your Sense data to check the details you have given us, for example where you keep your vehicle overnight and your declared mileage.

We will contact you if we think your policy details need to change, and any change could result in a change in your premium and you may be charged an administration fee, or it could result in the cancellation of your policy.

7. General conditions

In this section you’ll find a number of terms that apply to all of this policy, and describe your responsibilities, general information and the procedures that apply in certain situations.

It’s really important that you read and comply with 
these terms as any breach could make the policy
invalid or mean that we don’t pay claims in full or at all.

Tell us the truth and when your information changes

When you purchased your policy, you were 
asked a number of questions about you including 
your driving history, about any named driver, and 
your vehicle. You may also be asked these types 
of questions when you make any changes to 
the policy.

It is important that you, or anyone acting on your 
behalf, answer all of these questions fully and 
accurately because if any information that you 
provide is incomplete or inaccurate, including the submission of false, altered, forged or stolen 
documents, then we/Zego may be able to do one 
or more of the following:

  • refuse or reduce any claim payment to you;

  • apply additional terms or limitations to your policy, and charge you an administration fee for making the change;

  • cancel your policy, which depending on circumstances, may be with immediate effect;

  • avoid your policy entirely, which means treating the policy as though it never came into effect; and/or

  • retain any premium you have paid, and if you are paying monthly the full amount of premium may
still need to be paid.

You must also tell us/Zego any material facts relating 
to your business. A material fact is anything that an insurer is likely to take into account when considering whether to offer an insurance policy or how much to charge for it. If you have any doubts at all regarding what a material fact is, or whether a particular piece 
of information constitutes a material fact, then please tell us straight away.

Where fraud is identified we will pass details to any fraud prevention, other insurers, and/or law enforcement agencies, including but not limited to the Police for the purposes of preventing and/or prosecuting fraud and money laundering.

Changes to the risk

If your circumstances change from those that you 
told us/Zego about when you purchased the policy, then you need to tell us/Zego straight away. Until we/Zego are aware of that change, and have confirmed in writing that it is acceptable (or if you may need to pay 
a higher premium), then you will not be covered under this policy and any claims will not be paid.

Any changes to your policy may result in a change in your premium and you may be charged an administration fee. An administration fee may apply even if the change results in a return of premium to you. Details of fees and charges can be found here - https://www.zego.com/fees-and-charges/ as shown in Zego’s Terms of Business. Any fees charged for your policy are non-refundable.

Renewal

We will contact you before your renewal to confirm the terms and the renewal premium.

Unless you have told us/Zego not to at least 3 days before your renewal date, we will automatically renew your policy on its renewal date. We will use the payment details you previously gave us and renew before the expiry date. If your card details have been updated, your card provider may let us know.

If your policy is set to automatically renew and you do not want to renew your policy, or you want to opt out of automatic renewal, you can do this via the MyZego app or by contacting Zego. Please note you must do this at least 3 days before your renewal date. If you do not opt out of automatic renewal this does not affect your rights to cancel your policy under the Cancellation section.

Please note that if you do opt out of automatic renewal and you wish to renew your policy you will need to contact Zego prior to your renewal date to do so. Otherwise the policy will terminate on the end date and time shown on your certificate of motor insurance.

There are times we cannot renew your policy. When this happens we will contact you to let you know before your renewal date.

Some examples of when we may not be able to renew the policy include (but are not limited to):

  • if your and/or named drivers’ details are now outside of the acceptance criteria; or

  • if the acceptance criteria for the product has changed; or

  • if you have outstanding debt on your current policy.

Modifications

The policy does not cover any claims where the 
vehicle involved in the accident has been subject to 
any modifications (other than any repairs carried out 
by a suitably qualified repair provider or the professional installation of a protective screen/partition).

Duty to prevent loss or damage

You, and all named drivers, need to take reasonable 
care to avoid causing any loss, damage, or injury and make sure that your vehicle is roadworthy.

Payment of the premium

We are providing you with the cover under this policy on the basis that you pay all premiums due on time and in full. Where you have failed to pay a premium for any given period of cover then we will be entitled to decline any claims arising from accidents happening during that period. If we approve your claim, we will not provide cover unless and until the outstanding premium is paid in full.

Claims Fraud

Fraud is a criminal offence. If you, any named driver, 
or anyone else acting on your behalf;

  • makes any claim under the policy knowing it to be false, fraudulently inflated, or supported by fraudulent documents or facts,

then we/Zego may do any or all of the following:

  • Decline the claim, recover any sums paid in respect of the claim and treat the policy as being terminated from the date of the fraud;

  • Keep any premium which would otherwise have been returned to you for any unexpired period on the policy; and/or

  • Pass any details to other insurers, any fraud prevention and/or law enforcement agencies, including but not limited to the Police.

Vehicle Registration

For cover to apply your vehicle must be registered, taxed as required within the territories and you are a 
tax resident in the territories.

Rights of recovery

If under the laws of any country we/Zego are obliged
to deal with any claim but either:

  • you have failed to pay the premium for the relevant period of cover on time or at all; or

  • we/Zego would otherwise be entitled to decline the claim for a breach of the policy’s terms,

then, we will have a direct right of recovery against you for any sums paid out as part of that claim.

Cancellation

You can cancel the policy by contacting us at [email protected] , by phone on 0203 053 9815, or by using live chat within your account.

Your cancellation of the policy (30-day policies)

As this is a short-term policy, there 
is no cooling-off period. This means that if you cancel the policy, then there will be no refund of any premium paid, whether or not any claim has been made.

Your cancellation of the policy (applies to annual policies)

You can cancel the policy at any time.

Refunds

If you or we/Zego cancel the policy, where a claim has been made, or there has been an accident likely to give rise to a claim, we will not provide a refund of any premium paid and the full amount of premium will still need to be paid.

If your policy is cancelled within 14 days of you receiving your policy documentation (the “cooling off period”), where no claim has been made, and there have been no accidents likely to give rise to a claim, you will be charged for the number of days you have had on cover, and you will be refunded the rest of the premium paid, unless we/Zego cancel your policy where we reasonably suspect fraud.

If your policy is cancelled outside of the 14 day cooling off period where no claim has been made, and there have been no accidents likely to give rise to a claim, then:

  • If you cancel you will be entitled to a refund of premium in line with the scale set out in the table below based on the number of full months you have been on cover;

  • If we/Zego cancel for suspect fraud we will not provide a refund of any premium;

  • If we/Zego cancel due to you being non-compliant, you will be entitled to a refund of premium in line with the scale set out in the table below based on the number of full months you have been on cover;

  • If we/Zego cancel, for any other reason, you will be charged for the number of days you have had on cover, and you will be refunded the rest of the premium paid.

If any part of the premium was paid with a finance agreement and at the time of cancellation there remains an outstanding balance under the agreement, we/Zego may deduct from the return premium any outstanding amount due to the finance company that you would otherwise have to pay them. We will then return to you the return premium less the amount paid to the finance company.

Circumstances where we may cancel the policy (30 day and annual)

We may be entitled to cancel the policy (or Zego on 
our behalf), if there is a good reason for doing so.

Some examples of situations where we would have a good reason for cancelling the policy include (but are not limited to):

  • a breach of the terms and conditions of this policy.

  • you are non-compliant and remain non-compliant at the end of the warning period we have given you, if Zego’s Sense app is required

  • If we have previously issued you with a warning for being non-compliant on two or more separate occasion and you become non-compliant again, if Zego’s Sense app is required

  • you failing to link your integrated work provider account with your Zego account, if required

  • we identify poor driving behaviour via the Zego Sense app and you continue to drive poorly despite warnings;

  • you have failed to co-operate with, or respond to, our reasonable requests for information and/or documents required either to decide what your premium should be, or to deal with any claim

  • you harass or use any aggressive behaviour or language towards any member of our staff

  • your circumstances change and we are unable to provide you with insurance

  • non-payment of the premium due including non payment of any instalments due under a finance agreement

  • Where you:

    • become or are declared insolvent or bankrupt; or

    • an insolvency practitioner or liquidator is appointed to manage your affairs; or

    • are the subject of any creditors voluntary arrangement.

  • we/Zego reasonably suspect fraud or any attempt to gain any unfair advantage under this policy including when you provide fraudulent documentation to a work provider or licencing authority.

How we will cancel your policy

We/Zego do not need to give you any notice to cancel your policy where we reasonably suspect fraud.

If you are non-compliant and remain non-compliant at the end of the warning period we/Zego have given you, your policy will be cancelled with immediate effect at the end of that warning period. We/Zego will explain this to you in the warnings that we send.

If you have been non-compliant on two or more occasions and become non-compliant again, we/Zego may cancel your policy by providing you with 5 days’ notice to cancel your policy.

In all other cases where we/Zego are able to cancel your policy, we/Zego will provide you with 7 days’ notice to cancel your policy.

Notice will be sent to either the email address or postal address shown on your account.

Once the policy is cancelled we will remove your vehicle from the MID as from the effective date of cancellation.

Immediate Cancellation

Where we/Zego reasonably suspect fraud by you, any 
named driver, or anyone else acting on your behalf 
we will cancel your policy with immediate effect 
and will not refund any unused premium paid.

If you pay monthly, you must still pay the full balance
of your annual premium.

Important to note

  • You must tell all named drivers that the policy has been cancelled.

  • Where your policy has been cancelled, any optional product purchased with your policy (e.g. Breakdown Cover) will also be cancelled. Please refer to your 
optional products policy wording for refund details.

Sanctions

We will not provide cover, pay claims or provide 
benefits to the extent that doing so would expose 
us to sanctions, prohibitions or restrictions under 
United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws, or regulations of any country.

The legal bit

The policy and any disputes relating to it (although 
we hope there are none) will be governed by the law 
of the England and Wales

No Claims Discount

As soon as you have 12 months or more continuous claims free cover with us, you will start to earn a no claims discount (“NCD”).

We will allow a NCD against your renewal premium 
if no claim has been made, or any accident likely to 
give rise to a claim has occurred, during the previous continuous 12-month period of insurance. The level
of discount applied will be in line with our 
NCD scale, applicable at the time of renewal.

How claims will affect your NCD

Where we have made any payment on a claim which 
we have not yet been able to recover, or which we cannot recover from any other party involved in the accident, your NCD discount will be reduced to 
Nil, even if you are not at fault.

Any claim where we have fully recovered our costs will not affect your NCD.

Where you have fully comprehensive cover, you will be allowed one claim for glass damage during the previous continuous 12-month period of insurance without any 
impact upon your NCD, provided that an approved repairer is used.

NCD Protection

If you are eligible and pay the required extra premium, you may choose to protect your NCD. If chosen, this will be shown on your policy schedule.

If your NCD is protected, then your NCD will be protected for the first accident or claim that happens during the previous continuous 12-month period 
of insurance.

However, your overall premium may still increase following an accident/claim even if you were not 
at fault.

If you make a claim on your policy and your NCD is protected, your NCD will reduce as follows:

NCD years earned at beginning of the 12 month period

NCD years status of policy WITH protected NCD after 1 at-fault or outstanding claim

NCD years status of policy WITH protected NCD after 2+ at-fault or outstanding claim

NCD years status of policy WITH protected NCD if you have a claim of incurred amount >£45,000

NCD years status of policy WITHOUT protected NCD after at-fault or outstanding claim/s

8. Claiming

Ok, so this part sets out everything that you need 
to know about making a claim under the policy: 
what you should do, what you need to tell us, and what you definitely shouldn’t do. It’s really important that all drivers insured by this policy are aware of all of these terms and the need to comply, or the policy may not
 be valid and/or any claim(s) may not be paid.

There’s just been an accident.

  • As soon as it is safe to do so after an accident or incident, call us on 020 3885 0622

  • We will ask some questions about the accident or incident, such as when, where, and how it happened, and whether any other people were involved.

  • Do not admit any fault or make any offers or promises etc. to any other person that was
involved without speaking to us first.

  • If any other people are involved, then do NOT
DRIVE AWAY. Stop if any property has been damaged or if anyone is injured, and provide 
your name and address and insurance details
to anyone who needs it. If you don't stop at the scene or report an incident you could be committing an offence and be subject to a fine and up to six months in prison.

  • Similarly, you should ask any other other person 
who is involved for their name, address, and insurance details.

  • If your vehicle is stolen or damaged as a result of an theft you must report this to the police and give us the Crime Reference Number before we can issue any payment.

When we’re handling the claim, what else do you need to do?

  • If you receive any communication about the accident, whether it concerns who is responsible for the accident, any repairs to the vehicle, or any other costs that have been incurred, then please tell us straight away. If the communication is in writing, then please send us a copy.

  • As we say above, it’s very important that you make no admission of liability, promise, or offer to anyone at any time, without our permission.

  • Please tell us straight away if you or any other person involved in the accident are to be prosecuted as a result of the accident, or if there is to be an inquest following a fatal accident.

  • If we ask you for any information or documentation which is necessary for us to consider the claim, or 
to deal with any proceedings, then this must be provided to us as soon as possible.

  • If we want to, we will take over and conduct in your name the defence or settlement of any claim, or to issue proceedings in your name against any person to recover any payment that it has made under this policy.

  • We will have full control of those proceedings and progress/settle them however we think best, but this shall always be at our cost and expense. You will not have to pay.

  • In the event of a claim covered by this policy you must still pay any premium as and when 
it falls due. If any payment is not made, then we may:

    • cancel the policy in accordance with the general conditions and seek payment of the outstanding balance of premium;

    • refuse to pay any claim which happens on or after the due date of the premium; and/or

    • deduct any outstanding premium from the claim payment.

Motor Insurance Database (MID)

Information relating to this policy and the vehicles insured under it will be added to the Motor Insurance Database (“MID”) managed by the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (“MIB”). MID and the data stored on it may be used by certain statutory and/or authorised bodies including the Police, the DVLA, the DVANI, the Insurance Fraud Bureau and other bodies permitted by law for purposes not limited to but including:

  • Electronic licensing;

  • Continuous insurance enforcement;

  • Law enforcement (prevention, detection, apprehension and or prosecution of offenders); and

  • The provision of government services and or other services aimed at reducing the level and incidence of uninsured driving.

If you are involved in an accident (either in the United Kingdom, the EEA or certain other territories), insurers and or the MIB may search the MID to obtain relevant information. Persons (including his or her appointed representatives) pursuing a claim in respect of an accident (including citizens of other countries) may also obtain relevant information which is held on the MID. It is vital that the MID holds the correct vehicle registration number(s). If it is incorrectly shown on the MID you are at risk of having the vehicle seized by the Police.

You can check that all vehicle registration number details are shown on the MID at www.askmid.com
