Product terms and conditions

The content of our website does not constitute an offer by us to sell products and services. Your request to purchase a product or service represents an offer by you which we may accept or reject on such terms and conditions in force at the time of our acceptance.

After you make a request through our website to purchase the product or service and assuming such product or service is available to you and your offer is accepted, you will receive confirmation of your purchase.

Unless we say so, the information and descriptions on our website do not necessarily represent complete descriptions of all terms, conditions and exclusions and the precise cover provided (as applicable). All these shall be included in the schedule of cover, policy documents and/or conditions of purchase issued to you. Such documents may be either physical or electronic.

If you apply for any product or service detailed on our website, these terms and conditions of use should be read in conjunction with any other terms or conditions relating to that product or service and, in the event of any contradiction between these conditions of use and the specific product or service conditions, the specific product or service conditions shall prevail.

You must ensure that the details and information (especially in relation to payment) that you provide to us while using our website are correct and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the product or service. In the case of requesting an automatic renewal the credit card you use must be your own and not in anyone else's name.

 

Transactions on our website

To the extent permitted by law you will receive all of your insurance documents electronically. There may be some insurance documents that we cannot deliver electronically due to legal and technological constraints. These will be posted to you.

 

Online transactions

On our website, you can make certain transactions online. This may be purchasing a policy, administering a policy, making a renewal payment or other transactions. These transactions will not be final until we receive and process your confirmation. 

Your confirmation means any communication issued or transmitted by you to us via our website or other electronic means and which contains your acceptance in relation to our offer, or your confirmation of payment, whichever applies. 

It is your responsibility to inform us of any change to your email address. It is also your responsibility to keep your email account active and capable of receiving new emails. We are not responsible for emails sent to an inactive or out of date email account, unless we are solely negligent.

Your confirmation of payment may not be received by us for reasons including mechanical, software, computer, telecommunications or electronic failure, or the omission or failure of other providers or systems which are outside the control of either of us. You acknowledge that to the extent permitted by law, we are not liable to you in any way for loss or damage, however caused, directly or indirectly, in connection with the transmission or submission of an electronic instruction through our website or any failure to receive an electronic instruction for any reason.

The credit card details that you provide to us may be retained after payment is made. Except in exceptional circumstances any refund we provide to you for any product you have purchased by credit card is made back to the credit card account used to make the initial purchase.

We may refuse to process a transaction at any time and for any reason. To the extent permitted by law, we will not be liable to you or to any third party if we do this.

 

Purchasing insurance policies

IMPORTANT NOTICE: We are required by law to tell you that before we provide cover, you must fully and faithfully tell us everything you know or could reasonably be expected to know that is relevant to our decision to give you the insurance, as otherwise you may receive no benefit from your policy.

Where our website enables you to purchase insurance products or services online:

  1. you and us may enter into an insurance policy using our website, by you making an electronic offer via our website and by us electronically communicating our acceptance of that offer via our website to you;

  2. we may act on and process all completed electronic instructions transmitted or issued through our website without further consent from or reference to you; and

  3. we may treat an electronic instruction as authentic and we are under no obligation to investigate the authenticity or authority of persons issuing or transmitting such electronic instructions, or to verify the accuracy and completeness of such electronic instructions.

Creating a binding insurance contract with us via our website is a three step process:

  1. the first step is to create a quote for the insurance product you are interested in and have selected. Upon completion by you of all required details, our website will provide you with a quote, identified by a quote number. This quote and quote number will remain valid and accessible on our website for up to 90 days;

  2. if you wish to take out insurance in accordance with a quote provided to you by us via our website, then, upon completion by you of all required details, step two enables you to make a request and offer to us for the purchase of the relevant insurance product; and

  3. step three is for us to accept (or reject) that request and if we accept, to create a binding insurance agreement with a corresponding Malayan insurance policy number.

When entering into a contract via our website, we will be taken to have communicated our acceptance to your offer or request to purchase insurance only when:

  1. the electronic instruction containing the request and offer to purchase from you enters and is recorded in our main database;
  2. a record is created and stored in our database;
  3. a Malayan Insurance policy number is generated by us; and

  4. we receive all required details of a current and valid credit card which you are authorized to use, which is of a credit card type accepted by us, and to which we are able to charge the total premium.

A binding insurance contract is conditional on us being able to successfully charge against your nominated credit card and our receiving payment of your applicable premium (either by a single payment or where permitted in installments).

We may or may not issue a paper confirmation of the insurance policy. The existence of a binding contract is not conditional on our issuance, or your receipt of a paper confirmation of the transaction. Upon the request of the client, the company will furnish a copy of the proof of insurance at his/her registered address.

 

Payments

All payments for any insurance products, renewals, or other services purchased via our website must be paid in full by the due date specified in the relevant confirmation.

Unless otherwise provided for, all payments are required to be made by you using a type of credit card accepted by us at the time of purchase or renewal of the applicable insurance policy or service. You must therefore provide to us through our website details of your current and valid credit card, including:

  1. Credit card type;
  2. Name on credit card;
  3. Credit card number; and
  4. Expiry date.

You should not send us sensitive financial information like your credit card number by email.
