Cancellation

Your right to cancel your 30-day policy

Your right to cancel your annual policy

If you decide that, for any reason, this policy does not meet your insurance needs, then you may cancel it by returning it to Zego at any time. Provided that that no claims have been made (whether the claim is successful or not) or are pending, we will then refund your premium in full if cover has not commenced. If your cover has commenced, we will refund your premium less a proportionate charge for the period you are on cover.

Our right to cancel

The insurer shall not be bound to accept renewal of any insurance and may at any time cancel any insurance document by giving 30 days’ notice in writing where there is a valid reason for doing so. A cancellation letter will be sent to you at your last known address. Valid reasons may include but are not limited to:

a. Where we reasonably suspect fraud.

Where the insurer’s investigations provide evidence of fraud or misrepresentation, the insurer may cancel the policy immediately and backdate the cancellation to the date of the fraud or the date when you provided us with incomplete or inaccurate information. This may result in your policy being cancelled from the date you originally took it out and the insurer will be entitled to keep the premium.

If your policy is cancelled because of fraud or misrepresentation, this may affect your eligibility for insurance with the insurer, as well as other insurers, in the future.

Arbitration Clause

In the event of a disagreement between you and us, our aim is to make things simple and fair. If the matter cannot be resolved via our complaints procedure then you can reach out to the Financial Ombudsman Service for assistance. For broader disputes, we can turn to arbitration. We can jointly pick an arbitrator – it could be a solicitor or barrister. We will agree on this together in writing. In case we can't reach an agreement the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators can step in to help us choose someone. The arbitrator's decision is final, and we both have to abide by the outcome. The Arbitrator will also determine who pays the costs of the arbitration

process, if costs are awarded against you, they are not covered under this policy. This arbitration condition does not affect your rights to take separate legal action.
