Terms and Conditions

The following terms and conditions, which came into force on December 1st, 2020, constitute the agreement applicable to the use of the InsuraBrokers.ca website, as agreed between its owner and the user thereof. The moment you click the “Send me the Free quotes” icon located at the bottom of the information box, you acknowledge having read and agreed to all of these terms and conditions. It should be noted that these terms and conditions can be modified at any time by InsuranceBrokers.ca. Last update: December 1st, 2020.

 

Purpose of the website

InsuraBrokers.ca offers the service for collecting the necessary information and putting the user in contact with partners in order to facilitate the access to insurance quotes for the user.

Our mission is to save the user time and money by making it easy to find the insurance that best meets the needs provided by the user, our priority being to find the most competitive price:

 

Our service includes the following:

  • Offer a 100% free and non-binding service for users;
  • Collection and distribution of the information required for the preparation of submissions by the partners;
  • Obtain fast and competitive quotes while avoiding the multiplication of procedures for the user;
  • Provide access to a network of professional partners

 

First of all, InsuraBrokers.ca is not itself a broker registered with the Autorité des marchés financiers (hereinafter: the “AMF”). InsurabBrokers is merely a tool for collecting and transmitting the information necessary for all partners to create valid quotes for insurance products suited to the users provided needs.

 

InsuraBrokers.ca does not offer a referral service to do business with one partner over another. The choice to do business with a partner following receipt of the insurance product quote depends entirely and solely on the user and it is up to the latter to make the appropriate verifications with the AMF in order to ensure compliance, legitimacy and the right to practice as a partner, in particular by consulting the registers and information made available to it by the AMF. Before signing a contract with one of our partners, it is the user’s responsibility to demand proof of permit from the AMF and ask the right questions to fully understand the analysis of needs.

Thus, although InsuraBrokers will do its best to put the user in touch with reliable and reputable partners, InsuranBrokers cannot guarantee their qualification, prices, works and services offered and is not responsible for damages resulting from a service agreement made with one of our network partners. See more fully on this subject the section “InsuraBrokers and limitation of liability” below.

Finally, InsuraBrokers does not form part of the contractual agreements between partners and users and does not guarantee the accuracy of the offers sent by our partners. Quotes must be validated with each party implicated. In addition, none of the future clauses may bind InsuraBrokers, its shareholders, directors, employees, agents, assigns, officers and

representatives to any obligations in terms of carrying out brokerage mandates concluded with partners.

InsuraBrokers is not linked in any way with Facebook Inc., either with the “facebook.com” site or any of its services belonging to its network (including, but not limited to ” Instagram ”,“ Occulus VR ”“ WhatsApp ”). InsuraBrokers has not received any approval from Facebook Inc. nor does it intend to do so in the future.

Our “InsuraBrokers” platform provides information that should in no way be taken as real advice from professionals in the world of finance or insurance. Our editors research their information as best they can, but errors may have crept into their texts.

The mission of this platform is very simple: “we put users who have completed our forms on our site in contact with our partners, insurance brokers, mortgage brokers, etc. Our partners hold their appropriate certifications to be professionals in their field. Our forms that provide users with submissions are completely free and do not bind those users in any way.

 

Information to be transmitted, processing thereof and acceptance by the user

In order to provide its services, InsuraBrokers must collect all the information necessary for the partners to be able to develop a satisfactory submission adapted to the user’s needs. Thus, by accepting these terms and conditions, the user agrees to transmit all the personal or confidential information necessary to InsuraBrokers through an online form, by phone or by email.

Insurabrokers reserves the right to withdraw any information transmitted by the user when it has reason to believe that this information is contrary to these terms and conditions of use or goes against the rights held by third parties.

Any information provided by the user may be modified or removed from the InsuraBrokers Insurance databases by sending an email to this effect to info@insurabrokers.ca. InsuraBrokers reserves a period of 15 days following receipt of such a request to withdraw or modify the information which is the subject of the request.

The user accepts that the information inserted in the request for quotes form will be collected, transferred and stored by InsuraBrokers and partners (according to the number provided by the service) in accordance with the provisions of the “Privacy Policy” section below.

The information will not be made available to third parties, other than to partners.

By including phone number in the form and submitting it, the user accepts to be contacted by the partners or by InsuraBrokers’ validator team, even if he is registered on the national excluded telecommunication list. The user also agrees to be contacted by the partners by phone, email or text message in order to obtain additional information necessary for the preparation of the quote adapted to the user’s needs or to arrive at the conclusion of a contract. In the impossibility for the partners to reach the user, the latter understands that he will not be able to obtain submissions from these partners.

 

Accuracy of information provided by the user

All information must therefore be valid, complete and up to date at the time of transmission, otherwise the penalties provided for below in the section “Prohibited acts and penalties in the event of a contravention” may be applied.

Particularities
