1. Accounts

1.1. Account Creation. To use certain features of the Site and the Services, you must register for an account (“Account”) and provide certain information about yourself as prompted by the account registration form. You may not select a username intended to impersonate another person or entity, that is subject to the rights of another person or entity, or that is obscene or vulgar. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel registration of any username in our sole discretion. You represent and warrant that: (a) all required registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; and (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information. You may delete your Account at any time, for any reason, by following the instructions on the Site. The Company may suspend or terminate your Account in accordance with Section 9.

1.2 Account Responsibilities. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account login information and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree to immediately notify the Company of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use of your Account or any other breach of security. The Company cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.

2. Licensing; Insurance Services; Compensation.

2.1 Licensing. FRG Specialty Insurance Services LLC is licensed as an insurance broker or agent in various U.S. states and territories. Details on licensure can be found here. The Site is not intended as a solicitation for insurance in any state, territory, or province where FRG Specialty Insurance Services LLC is not licensed.

2.2 Reliance. Under no circumstances should you regard any information you may access in this Site or as part of the Services as a recommendation, advice, or complete description of any products, service, or plan. The content on this Site and in the Services is provided for informational purposes only, with the understanding that the Company is not rendering financial, legal, accounting, or other professional advice on specific matters. We recommend that you consult your professional advisors with respect to your individual situation. You must not rely on the information on this website as an alternative to legal advice from an attorney nor should you delay seeking legal advice, disregard legal advice, or commence or discontinue any legal action based on the Services.

2.3 Products/Quotations. Application for an insurance quotation through this Site does not constitute a binder of insurance coverage or the reporting of a claim. The application may be used by the Company to provide an estimate of the terms, conditions, and costs of coverage. A quotation may be subject to receipt of additional information or other conditions. The Company uses commercially available benchmarking data. The Company makes no guarantee as to the accuracy of its benchmarking data. Moreover, this information is not a quote or an offer of coverage at a specified price. Insurance coverage is provided by various insurance companies and is subject to the terms and conditions of the policies. The availability of coverage under your specific policy depends on the policy language, the facts of the claim and the law of the jurisdiction governing the interpretation of the policy. Insurance companies decide to offer, renew, cancel or non-renew insurance coverage or otherwise provide customers with the requested insurance products. The Company does not provide any underwriting services and is not responsible or liable for any resulting loss. Circumstances vary and Site visitors must carefully review their own insurance policies and consult with their insurance advisors. The Company may share commissions or referral fees with business partners, subject to all applicable regulations and laws. You agree that we are merely an intermediary between you and an insurance provider, financial institution, or other service provider, and, as such, we expressly disclaim all liability for any content, products, or services furnished from such service providers. The Company does not guarantee or make any representation or warranty that insurance can be placed on terms acceptable to you. The Company will not take any action to replace your insurers unless you instruct the Company to do so.

2.4 Insurance Services. You are not required to utilize the Company for insurance brokerage services. It is free to obtain an Account and use the Company’s software. However, if you choose to use the Company’s insurance brokerage services (“Insurance Brokerage Services”), you agree to: (a) designate the Company as your broker of record or agent of record; (b) authorize the Company to communicate such designation as broker or agent of record to any insurance carrier, your prior insurance producer, and any other person or entity the Company determines should be advised; (c) work exclusively with the Company for such Insurance Brokerage Services unless we have otherwise expressly agreed; and (d) permit the Company to receive any commission or other form of compensation that any insurance carrier agrees to pay to the Company in connection with the provision of Insurance Brokerage Services.

2.5 Certificates of Insurance. The Company may obtain, review and track certificates of insurance for you. The Company does not independently verify the information in these certificates of insurance. You must not rely on the information provided by the Company as an alternative to legal advice from an attorney nor should you delay seeking legal advice, disregard legal advice, or commence or discontinue any legal action. You should also understand that a certificate of insurance is an informational document that evidences the existence of the policy to which it refers. It does not create any coverage or legal obligations between the insurance company and the certificate holder. Nor does it confer additional insured status to a certificate holder. A certificate of insurance does not alter the terms of the parties’ underlying contract or indemnity agreement. A certificate of insurance typically identifies the agent or broker, the insured, and the insurer providing the coverage. It also gives basic information about the policy to which it refers, including the type of insurance, the policy number, the effective and expiration dates of the policy and the liability limits. However, neither the insurance company nor the broker who issued the certificate of insurance has a duty to inform a certificate holder of inaccuracies in, or subsequent changes to, the information contained in a certificate of insurance. There is also no duty to inform the certificate holder that the policy to which the certificate refers has been cancelled or was not renewed. To fully understand the potential coverage provided under a policy, a certificate holder should secure a copy of the insurance policy and consult with a qualified attorney.

2.6 Policy Summaries. The coverage, exclusion, endorsement, and other summaries provided by the Company are for general informational purposes only. They are not intended to provide legal advice and should not be treated as such. The Company uses its best efforts to prepare the policy summaries but does not guarantee their accuracy. You should review your actual policy to confirm coverage. The availability of coverage under your specific policy depends on the policy language, the facts of the claim and the law of the jurisdiction governing the interpretation of the policy.

2.7 Surplus Lines; Insurance Premiums and Related Tax Obligations. The Company may not be able to procure insurance in the admitted marketplace on the terms and conditions specified by you. In such event, the Company’s insurance proposal may include placements with insurer(s) not licensed to transact insurance in a particular jurisdiction and not subject to the supervision of such state’s insurance department. Any such surplus lines coverage will be made pursuant to applicable insurance laws governing the placement of insurance with non-admitted insurers. A state insurance guaranty fund will not respond in the event the surplus lines insurer should become insolvent. Furthermore, policy forms, conditions, premiums, and deductibles used by surplus lines insurers may be different from those found in policies used in the admitted market. You are responsible for all insurance premiums due and any applicable surplus lines, sales, use, excise, or other taxes for insurance coverage placed by the Company. If you fail to pay any premium in full by the due date indicated on the premium invoice, the coverage may be subject to cancellation by the insurer(s) and such nonpayment, in addition to any nonpayment of fees or expenses due to the Company as set forth herein, shall be considered a material breach of these Terms.

2.8 Compensation. The Company is committed to delivering cutting-edge technology and white-gloved service through our customer-centered model. The use of the Company’s software is free. However, for providing Insurance Brokerage Services, the Company is compensated in a variety of ways, including commission and contingency fees paid by insurers or other third parties or agreed to with our clients. Below is a summary of the types of compensation the Company may receive:

(a) Commissions. A commission or fee is normally paid to us by the insurer for the distribution and servicing of your insurance policy. The amount is typically calculated as a percentage of the premium paid to the insurer for your policy, although it may vary depending on several factors, including the type of insurance product sold and the specific insurer. Our commission is included in the premium paid by you. The individuals at the Company who place and service your insurance may be paid compensation that varies directly with the commissions we receive.

(b) Contingent Commissions. We may also receive income through contingent commissions received from insurers because we have achieved certain criteria, typically measured on an annual basis. The criteria vary, but are usually the result of attracting new customers, overall premium volume, premium growth year-over-year, persistency/retaining existing customers, profitability and/or retention targets, or achieving certain loss or claim results or assisting the insurer with the underwriting process. Because the amount of contingent commission earned may vary, there is generally no meaningful method to determine the exact impact that any insurance policy has on contingency arrangements. For this reason, the individuals involved in placing or servicing insurance are rarely, if ever, compensated directly for the contingent income that we receive.

(c) Supplemental Commissions. Certain insurance companies pay supplemental commissions – fixed amounts – that are based on a broker’s performance during the prior year. These commissions are established annually and are based on the historical performance of the broker. The criteria for supplemental commissions are similar to those for contingent commissions, but unlike contingent commissions, the amount of supplemental commission is known at the time of insurance placement.

(d) Client Fees. The Company may, on occasion, negotiate a fee for services in lieu of, or in addition to, commissions paid by insurance companies. These fees may include, but are not limited to, subscribing, policy handling and consulting fees. These fees will be approved, usually in writing, prior to binding coverage.

(e) Other Compensation. From time to time the Company may be compensated by insurers for providing administrative services to clients on behalf of those insurers. Such amounts are typically calculated as a percentage of premium or are based on the number of insureds. The Company may also receive interest or investment income on funds temporarily held by it, such as premiums or return premiums, service fees or other compensation from premium finance companies for administrative services provided to or on behalf of premium finance companies relative to the financing of client insurance premiums.

Unless applicable law or contractual agreement between the Company and insurers states otherwise, any commission that the Company is entitled to receive for any placements is fully earned at inception of the insurance program, and the Company is entitled to retain such commissions in the event of a midterm cancellation of coverage or a reduction in coverage resulting in a premium adjustment. Please feel free to ask the Company about our compensation generally or your specific proposal or placement.

2.9 Intermediaries. When, in the Company’s professional judgment, it is necessary or appropriate, the Company may utilize the services of foreign or domestic intermediaries to assist in the servicing, marketing and/or placement of your insurance/risk management programs. However, this may only be done after consultation with you. The Company will advise you whether any proposed intermediary is affiliated with the Company. Any such intermediary shall be compensated by commissions earned on placement of your policies handled by that intermediary, or by payment of a separate fee agreed to by you and the intermediary if commissions are not properly payable on your placements. Such commissions and fees shall be in addition to the compensation paid to the Company.

10.2 Dispute Resolution. Please read this Section 10.2 (sometimes referred to herein as this “Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It is part of your contract with the Company and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

(a) Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with these Terms or the use of any product or service provided by the Company that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and the Company, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under these Terms.

(b) Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to the Company should be sent to 7254 S Perth Way, Aurora, CO 80016 with a copy to info@frgspecialty.com. After the Notice is received, you and the Company may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and the Company do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.

(c) Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.

You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (i) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement; and (ii) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and the Company. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and these Terms (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.

(e) Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and the Company are instead electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 10.2(a) (Applicability of Arbitration Agreement) above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

(f) Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this section’s limitations as to a given dispute, claim, or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of Delaware. All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated.

(g) 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: info@frgspecialty.com, within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your Company username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Company account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

(h) Severability. Except as provided in Section 10.2(f) (Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
