7. AAMI Product Information and Insurance Purchase

1) Transactions on the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage

(a) When entering into a transaction via the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage, whether it be the issuance of an insurance contract or a transaction relating to any other product or service, the transaction will not be completed until an "Electronic Instruction" (being any electronic instruction, information, message, request or communication issued or transmitted to AAMI via the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage) containing the acceptance from you to AAMI's offer, or the confirmation of payment from you, whichever is applicable, has been received and processed by AAMI, and any specific steps or requirements as set out in this clause 7, have been complied with.

(b) You acknowledge that the transmission of your acceptance or the confirmation of any payment, made through an Electronic Instruction may not be received by AAMI in accordance with this clause 7 for reasons beyond either parties' reasonable control including, but not limited to, mechanical, software, computer, telecommunications, or electronic failure, or the omission or failure of third party service providers or systems.

(c) You further acknowledge that, to the extent permitted by law, AAMI is not liable to you in any way for any loss or damage at all and however caused, arising directly or indirectly in connection with the transmission of an Electronic Instruction through the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage, or any failure to receive an Electronic Instruction for whatever reason.

2) Purchasing insurance policies

(a) Where the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage enables you to purchase insurance products or services online:

(i) the parties may enter into an insurance policy using the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage by AAMI making an electronic offer via the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage and you electronically communicating your acceptance of that offer via the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage to AAMI;

(ii) AAMI may act on and process all completed Electronic Instructions transmitted or issued through the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage without further consent from or reference to you; and

(iii) AAMI may treat an Electronic Instruction as authentic and is under no obligation to investigate the authenticity or authority of persons issuing or transmitting such Electronic Instructions, or to verify the accuracy and completeness of such Electronic Instructions.

(b) Creating a binding insurance contract with AAMI via the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage involves the completion by you of all required details in the application. You can then accept the premium quoted and create a binding insurance agreement with a corresponding AAMI policy number.

(c) When entering into a contract via the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage, you will be taken to have communicated your acceptance to an offer of insurance from AAMI and a binding insurance contract will be created when:

(i) the Electronic Instruction containing the acceptance from you enters and is recorded in the main AAMI database;

(ii) a record is created and stored in the AAMI database;

(iii) an AAMI policy number is generated by the AAMI database; and

(iv) AAMI receives all required details of a current and valid credit card which you are authorised to use, which is of a credit card type accepted by AAMI, and to which AAMI is able to charge the premium.

(d) A binding insurance contract is conditional on AAMI being able to successfully charge against your nominated credit card and AAMI receiving payment of your applicable premium.

(e) Where a transaction is entered into between AAMI and you via the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage, a policy number will be issued by AAMI via the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage. However, a binding insurance contract is not conditional on the receipt by you of a policy number. Therefore, the failure by you to receive a policy number via the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage does not invalidate or otherwise prejudice the existence of an insurance contract or transaction entered into using the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage.

(f) AAMI may or may not issue a paper confirmation of the insurance policy. The existence of a binding contract is not conditional on AAMI issuing, or you receiving, a paper confirmation of the transaction.

(g) You must contact AAMI immediately if you do not receive a policy number via the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage following your transaction.

8. Payments

All payments for any insurance products or other services purchased via the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage are to be made by selected credit cards at the time of purchase of the applicable AAMI policy or service. You must therefore provide to AAMI details of your current and valid credit card, including:

1) Credit card type;
2) Name on credit card;
3) Credit card number; and
4) Expiry date.

9. Warranties

Whilst reasonable steps have been undertaken to ensure that information is free from error, to the extent permitted by law, which law cannot be excluded, AAMI does not warrant the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of Material on the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage.

AAMI does not guarantee that the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage or Third Party Websites will be free from viruses, or that access to the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage or Third Party Websites will function as intended or be uninterrupted. All terms implied by law, except those that cannot be lawfully excluded, are excluded.

10. Limitation of Liability

Subject to any responsibilities implied by law and which cannot be excluded, AAMI, and its directors, employees, agents and contractors, are not liable to you for any losses, damages, liabilities, claims and expenses (including but not limited to legal costs and defence or settlement costs) whatsoever, whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising out of or referable to Material on the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage, to Third Party Material, third party services, or to access of the AAMI Business Insurance Webpage by you, howsoever caused, whether in contract, tort including negligence, statute or otherwise.
