Common use of Client Money Clause in Contracts

Client Money. We, in the course of carrying on insurance distribution, handle client money in accordance with the FCA Client Assets Sourcebook (CASS) rules, which are designed to protect You. A copy of the CASS rules is available on request. We handle client money in either one of the following ways, both of which are described in more detail below: i. it is held on Your behalf in a segregated bank account that is subject to a non-statutory trust; or ii. it is held by Us as agent of the relevant insurer (“risk transfer”). The aim of the trust is to protect You in the event of Our financial failure, or the failure of the bank or a third party at which the money may be held. In such a circumstance, Our general creditors (or those of the bank or third party) should not be able to make claims on client money, as such money will not form part of Our (or the bank’s or third party’s) property. The fact that We will hold money on trust gives rise to fiduciary duties which will be owed to You until the client money reaches the insurer, at which time Our fiduciary duties with regard to Your money will cease. By holding client money subject to a non-statutory trust, We are entitled to and may make advances of credit from the trust to enable a client’s premium obligation to be met before the premium is remitted to Us. Similarly, it allows claims and premium refunds to be paid from the trust to a client before receiving remittance of those monies from the insurer. Risk transfer applies where money is held by Us as agent of a relevant insurer in accordance with a written agreement with that insurer. The written agreement will specify the extent to which risk transfer will apply and whether it includes all items of money or is restricted for example, to the receipt of premiums. Where risk transfer applies, You will be protected to the extent that any premiums We receive from You are treated as having been received by the insurer when they are received by Us. Where the agreement extends to premium refunds and/or claims, any premium refunds or claims will be treated as received by You only when they are actually paid to You. Any interest earned on client money that is subject to a non-statutory trust will be retained by Us. We may also arrange to hold client money, that is subject to a non- statutory trust, in separately permitted designated investments with a value at least equivalent to the money that would otherwise have been paid into a client bank account. If We do this, We will be responsible for meeting any shortfall in Our client money resource which is attributable to falls in the market value of a segregated investment. Any investment returns on any segregated designated investments will be retained by Us. Where client money is held on a non- statutory trust, We can only withdraw commission from the client bank account in the following circumstances: i. when We actually receive the premium as cleared funds from You (or from a third-party premium finance provider on Your behalf); and ii. at the point at which the commission becomes due and payable to Us for Our own account provided this is consistent with the terms of business of the insurer to whom the premium is payable. Until that point commission will remain client money. Where risk transfer applies, commission will become due and payable to Us for Our own account immediately on receipt of the premium, provided this is consistent with the terms of business of the insurer to whom the premium is payable. We may transfer client money to another person, such as another intermediary, for the purpose of effecting a transaction through that person. Where We transfer client money that is subject to a non- statutory trust, to another person, We will remain liable to You for such money for as long as it remains client money.

Client money is money that we receive and hold on behalf of our clients over the course of carrying our relationship such as premium payments, premium refunds and claim payments. We hold this either on insurance distribution, handle client money your behalf or on behalf of your insurer(s) as determined by the agreement we have in accordance place with each insurer. 7.2. In most cases we will have an agreement with the FCA Client Assets Sourcebook (CASS) rules, which are designed to protect You. A copy of the CASS rules is available on request. We handle client money in either one of the following ways, both of which are described in more detail below: i. it is held on Your behalf in a segregated bank account that is subject to a non-statutory trust; or ii. it is held by Us insurers where we act as agent of for the relevant insurer (“risk transfer”). The aim of the trust is to protect You in the event of Our financial failure, or the failure of the bank or a third party at which the and any money may be held. In such a circumstance, Our general creditors (or those of the bank or third party) should not be able to make claims on client money, as such money will not form part of Our (or the bank’s or third party’s) property. The fact that We will hold money on trust gives rise to fiduciary duties which received by us will be owed to You until the client money reaches the insurer, at which time Our fiduciary duties with regard to Your money will cease. By holding client money subject to a non-statutory trust, We are entitled to and may make advances of credit from the trust to enable a client’s premium obligation to be met before the premium is remitted to Us. Similarly, it allows claims and premium refunds to be paid from the trust to a client before receiving remittance of those monies from the insurer. Risk transfer applies where money is held by Us as agent of a relevant insurer in accordance with a written agreement with that insurer. The written agreement will specify the extent to which risk transfer will apply and whether it includes all items of money or is restricted for example, to the receipt of premiums. Where risk transfer applies, You will be protected to the extent that any premiums We receive from You are treated as having if it has been received by the insurer when they are and the insurer will bear the risk of any losses in the event that our firm becomes insolvent. In the same way, we may also have an agreement with the insurer that any claims money or premium refunds received by Us. Where us from the agreement extends to premium refunds and/or claims, any premium refunds or claims insurer will not be treated as received by You only when you until they are actually paid over to Youyou. Any interest earned on We may hold both insurer and client money in the same bank account but when this happens insurers will have previously agreed that is subject any claim by you on monies that are client money will come before their claim. 7.3. In cases where we do not have such an agreement with an insurer, we will hold your money in either a statutory or a non- statutory trust client money bank account. These accounts are governed by rules that seek to protect clients against any inability of an insurance broker to transfer premiums to an insurer, or to transfer refunds and/or claims money to a client. 7.4. The terms of a non-statutory trust account allow us to use the money held in trust on behalf of one client to pay another client’s premium before it is received from that client and to pay premium refunds or claims before we receive payment from the insurer. This is in line with standard industry practice and we are not permitted to use client money for any other purpose. If you do not wish us to hold your money in a non- statutory trust account, please let us know. 7.5. Any commission due to us may be taken from the client money account and this may be taken before we pass the premium onto the insurer. If we earn interest on any money held in this account this will be retained by Usus and not passed on to you. 7.6.

If we use a third party to place your insurance we may need to transfer your money to that party but we still remain responsible for your money until it is subject deemed to be received by the insurer. In some cases this may mean that your money is transferred to a non- statutory trust, in separately permitted designated investments with a value at least equivalent to third party outside of the money that would otherwise have been paid into a client bank accountUK where the legal and regulatory systems are different. If We such a third party fails, your money may be treated differently than it would, had the third party been in the UK. 7.7. If you do thisnot want your money to be passed outside of the UK or if you have any other objections to this section, We please contact us immediately.

Any investment returns on any segregated designated investments will be retained by Us.
