The Products are underwritten by insurance companies (**Insurers**), not Cuvva. To buy a Product, you need to agree to a contract with the relevant Insurer (**Insurance Contract**). This will govern the terms and conditions on which the nominated vehicle or individuals are insured.

**Cuvva doesn't give personal recommendations or advice. Cuvva hasn't carried out an analysis of the market to identify the best possible offer for you.** You'll need to make your own choice on whether the Product is suitable for your needs.

We can't make any changes to a short-term insurance policy once it's been purchased, whether it's motor or travel insurance. So if you purchase a Short-term product, you wouldn't be able to change it to cover a different vehicle, for example. If you wanted to cover a different vehicle, you would need to get a new quote in the app, before purchasing a new Short-term product.

You can refer a friend for a discount off their first Product - you can get a discount too. Head to your profile, and go to _Refer a friend for a discount_, to share your referral code.

Your friend will have three months, from when they redeem your code, to use their discount. When your friend buys their first Product using that discount, you will get your discount, which will be valid for three months.

Referrals are intended for people you know. So please don't post your referral code publicly. We might limit how many people can redeem your code, and change your code, if we find it posted publicly.

If you’re using any other promotional code, the expiry date will depend on the promotion you’re looking to benefit from. If you have any questions, including when the deadlines are, please chat to us and we’ll help.

Cuvva can't guarantee that our app will be available at all times, including due to problems with third party websites or your internet connectivity. Cuvva won't be responsible to you for any losses or inconvenience as a result of our app being unavailable.

## 7. How we get paid

For all Products, we'll tell you the insurance premiums, taxes and fees payable in our quote summary which you can see in the app before purchase. Cuvva Limited is usually paid either by receiving a percentage of the insurance premium by way of commission from the Insurer or service provider, or by receiving an admin fee from you for arranging the insurance, or both. We may earn additional amounts from Insurers to reflect the performance of the Products.

**If you don't keep your phone security details safe and confidential, and/or you allow another person to access the app using them, and another person uses your phone to purchase a Product, Cuvva will not be obliged to refund you for that Product.**

In order to verify that your card details are active we may charge a small nominal amount (for example £1.00) to your card or account, this will be released back to you within 7 days (this is sometimes known as an "active card check"). This may still happen if the card verification fails, and can happen more than once if you add the card multiple times.

## 11. Claims and incident reporting

Claims should be notified to the Insurer as soon as possible. If you don't, an Insurer may refuse to deal with your claim or reduce the amount you receive from them - Cuvva can't intervene with the Insurer on your behalf. In the event an Insurer becomes insolvent or delays making settlement, we don't accept responsibility for paying any unpaid amounts owed to you.

## 12. Termination

We reserve the right to resign as your insurance intermediary at any time. We may issue a warning, suspend, or freeze your account if you breach any of these Terms; infringe or attempt to infringe any rights of other people; if you're using a Product outside its intended application; if we suspect you're using the app to commit or attempt to commit a criminal offence; or if you abuse our staff. If we freeze your account, we might not be able to tell you why. But we'll continue to fulfil any outstanding regulatory responsibilities to you.

Our failure or delay in enforcing or partially enforcing any provision of the Terms won't be construed as a waiver of any of our rights under the Terms. This means that if we don't insist immediately that you do anything you're required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that won't mean you don't have to do those things, and it won't prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.

We don't guarantee the solvency of any insurer we help arrange your purchase Products from. An insolvent Insurer may be unable to pay a proportion or all of any claim made. If an Insurer becomes insolvent you may need to pay a further premium to pay for alternative insurance cover. In the event an Insurer becomes insolvent, we'll let you know as soon as we can and help as best we can.
