Section B – Important Information
Our Contract with You
This policy is a contract between you and us. Under the terms of this policy, we will
pay the benefits described in the ‘What is covered’ section if you suffer accidental
bodily injury whilst cover is in force.
Please read this policy carefully and make sure you know what this insurance does
and does not cover.
Choice of Law
The law of England and Wales will apply to this contract unless:
- We agree with you otherwise; or
- At the date of the contract you are a resident of (or, in the case of a business,
- the registered office or principal place of business is situated in) Scotland,
- Northern Ireland, Channel Islands or the Isle of Man, in which case
- (in the absence of agreement to the contrary) the law of that country will apply.
Use of Language
Unless otherwise agreed, the contractual terms and conditions and other information
relating to this contract will be in English.
Our Promise of Service
Our goal is to give excellent service to all our customers but we recognise that
things do go wrong occasionally. We take all complaints we receive seriously and
aim to resolve all our customers’ problems promptly. To ensure that we provide the
kind of service you expect we welcome your feedback. We will record and analyse
your comments to make sure we continually improve the service we offer.
What will happen if you complain?
We will acknowledge your complaint promptly
We aim to resolve complaints, following assessment and investigation, as
quickly as possible.
Most of our customers’ concerns can be resolved quickly but occasionally more
detailed enquiries are needed. If this is likely, we will contact you with an update
and give you an expected date of response.
What to do if you are dissatisfied
If you are disappointed with any aspect of the handling of your insurance we would
encourage you, in the first instance, to contact the General Secretary of REPTA,
as shown in your REPTA handbook.
If you remain unhappy with the decision you receive, you may write to the Chief
Executive of Aviva.
If you are dissatisfied with our final decision (from the Chief Executive Officer),
you can refer the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).
Full contact details of both our Chief Executive and the FOS will be provided
when we write in response to your complaint.
Whilst we are bound by the decision of the FOS, you are not. Following the
complaints procedure does not affect your right to take legal action.
Financial Services Compensation Scheme
We are members of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
You may be entitled to compensation from this scheme if we cannot meet our
obligations, depending on the type of insurance and the circumstances of your claim.
