ACCOUNTS AND PASSWORDS
You will need to create an account to access our Services. You hereby represent and warrant that the information you provide to AssuredOne™ upon registration including, but not limited to, information provided to us by you from your social networks or relevant third parties and at all other times, will be true, accurate, current, and complete. Your “Account Information” also includes any information or data you provide to us during the insurance application, endorsement or claims process. You also hereby represent and warrant that you will ensure that this information is kept accurate and current at all times.
Once an account is issued to you, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you agree to accept responsibility for any and all activities that occur under your account or password. Unauthorized access or use of the Services that require an account and password is prohibited. You agree to notify AssuredOne™ immediately if you have reason to believe that a third party has obtained your User ID or password, or if you suspect that any unauthorized access or use may occur or has occurred by contacting our Support team. AssuredOne™ reserves the right to, under its sole discretion, suspend or terminate accounts, refuse service, or otherwise restrict access to the Services.
Specifically, the forms, questionnaires, reports, findings, recommendations, roadmap reports, threat analyses, CyberScore® and other communications from Assured are for the sole and exclusive use of Assured and you. This information is of high value and may not be disseminated, transferred, shared, appropriated, or conveyed to or by any third party reasonably positioned to compete with Assured. Documents from Assured may be shared with regulators and governmental authorities.
INSURANCE COVERAGE AND QUOTES
All quotes generated exclusively by AssuredOne™ are based upon the information you provided and are not a contract, binder, or agreement to extend insurance coverage. Any coverage descriptions provided in our Services are general descriptions of available lines of coverages and potential policy endorsements and are not a statement of contract. To obtain coverage you must submit an application to AssuredOne™ through our web site or otherwise and receive notification from us that your application for coverage was approved and coverage has been bound. Coverage, minimum or additional limits of insurance and availability may vary by state or territory. The scope, limits, exclusions, premium, and other aspects of the insurance coverage will be subject to the terms and conditions of the actual insurance policy bound or issued to an insured. Note: Insurance is offered and serviced exclusively by AssuredOne, Inc. and not by Assured Enterprises, Inc. or any other affiliate unless expressly stated in writing. Any payments to Assured relating to insurance, whether paid inadvertently or not shall only be for the account of AssuredOne, Inc., exclusively.
From time to time we may offer non-admitted insurance products for purchase by you. These insurance products are available only through a licensed surplus lines broker.
FEES
You may be required to provide AssuredOne™ with information regarding your bank account, credit card, or other payment method in order to purchase an insurance policy and bind coverage through our Services. You represent and warrant to Assured that such information is true and accurate and that you are authorized to use such payment method. You agree to update your account information with any changes that may occur as soon as practicable. You further agree to pay AssuredOne™ the insurance premium and any applicable fees or taxes for the insurance policy you have selected in accordance with the terms of such policy and our Terms of Service.

You must notify AssuredOne™ regarding any disputed charges within sixty (60) days after the date that AssuredOne™ charges you.

FILING CLAIMS
Any information provided by you regarding a reported insurance claim and loss under your insurance policy is subject to review and verification. AssuredOne™ reserves the right to request additional information as necessary on behalf of the insurance company or other relevant party on any reported insurance claim. A claim representative may contact you regarding your claim and the information provided. All policy provisions contained in your policy remain in full force and effect. Any questions concerning your policy’s coverage can be directed to our Support page or a claim representative.
QUOTING ENGINE
AssuredOne™ uses an on-line application and quoting system to provide you with insurance quotes. This quoting engine is not and should not be construed as insurance advice. AssuredOne™ may occasionally change the content of the quoting engine. Coverage will be determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of your insurance policy and not based upon information reflected on our quoting engine. You are therefore encouraged to view and/or download your actual policy documentation prior to making any purchase decision. Assured is not liable for any inaccurate, missing, or misconstrued information and makes no guarantee as to the quality and accuracy of the content. Any insurance purchasing conclusions and decisions such as coverage amounts, limits, and retentions are solely the responsibility of the insured.
