Under these arrangements, BNL assume responsibility for such monies and are permitted to, and may: • Use such monies received on behalf of one customer to pay another customer’s premium, before the premium is received from that other customer.; • For the purpose of effecting a transaction on your behalf, pass your money to another intermediary, including those resident outside the UK who would therefore be subject to different legal and regulatory regimes. In the event of a failure of the intermediary, this money may be treated in a different manner from that which would apply if the money were held by an intermediary in the UK. Please inform us if you do not agree to this. • Retain for their own use, any interest earned on client money. Unless we receive your written instruction to the contrary, BNL shall treat receipt of payment from you and of any claim payment and/or refund of premium which fall due to you, as being with your informed consent to the payment of those monies into a BNL Non Statutory Trust bank account. Without affecting our fiduciary duty to you BNL are entitled to transfer client monies to an identical bank account held in the name of any Affiliate for so long as such company remains an Affiliate. Insurer Security Whilst we make every effort to place your insurances with insurers that are financially sound we do not guarantee or otherwise warrant the solvency of any insurer we place your insurances with. If you have any concerns regarding any insurer chosen to meet your insurance requirements you should inform us as soon as possible and we will discuss them with you. A liability for the premium, whether in full or pro rata, may arise under policies where a participating insurer becomes insolvent. Termination of This TOBA You or we may terminate our authority to act on your behalf by providing at least 14 days’ notice in writing (or such other period we agree). Termination is without prejudice to any transactions already initiated by you, which will be completed according to this TOBA unless we agree otherwise in writing. You will remain liable to pay for any transactions or adjustments effective prior to termination and we shall be entitled to retain any and all commission and/or fees payable in relation to insurance cover placed by us prior to the date of written termination of our authority to act on your behalf.
