PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Instant Med Quotes, including a binding arbitration provision described below. By accessing or using this website and any related services (collectively, the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms, along with our Privacy Policy and any other rules or policies we may publish from time to time. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must discontinue use of the Site immediately.
1. Our Services
Instant Med Quotes operates this Site as a portal that connects insurance agents,
insurance companies, lead aggregators, and other similar parties ("Providers") with
consumers who submit a request through the Site to receive insurance quotes or related
information ("Prospects," and together with all other visitors, "Users," "you," or
"your").
With your authorization, we may collect certain information about you (a "Lead") and provide that Lead to one or more Providers. We are not responsible for the legality, safety, or quality of any product a Provider offers, the accuracy of a Provider's representations, a Provider's ability to deliver coverage, or a Prospect's ability to pay for any product. We act solely as an independent contractor.
Except where we act as a licensed agent for certain products, we do not issue insurance contracts or bind coverage, and we do not endorse or recommend any specific Provider, policy, or product. We do not provide insurance, tax, financial, or legal advice. We do not guarantee that any Provider will contact you or offer you coverage. For advice specific to your situation, consult a qualified, licensed professional. We do not sell insurance products directly through the Site.
2. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Instant Med Quotes website and any related services, you agree
to be bound by these Terms, along with our Privacy Policy and any other rules or policies we
may publish from time to time. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use
the Site.
The Site is intended only for individuals age 18 or older who are capable of forming a legally binding contract. By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement and that your use of the Site does not violate any applicable law.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes are effective once posted to the Site, and your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
3. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. Before filing a claim against
us, you agree to first contact us in writing at legal@instantmedquotes.com describing the
dispute and the relief sought, so that we may attempt to resolve it informally. If the
matter is not resolved within thirty (30) days, either party may initiate arbitration.
You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site — including disputes involving a Provider — will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court. You and Instant Med Quotes each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action.
Arbitration will be administered by a recognized arbitration provider under its consumer arbitration rules then in effect, before a single arbitrator, and will take place in the county where you reside unless otherwise agreed. For claims of $5,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration proceeds by documents only, by phone, or in person. We will pay arbitration filing and administration fees for claims under $10,000 as required by the arbitration provider's consumer rules.
If any part of this arbitration provision is found unenforceable, the remainder will still apply, except that if the class-action waiver above is found unenforceable, this entire arbitration section will be null and void and disputes will instead proceed in the courts described in Section 16 (Choice of Law and Forum) below. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to legal@instantmedquotes.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms.
DO NOT USE THIS SITE IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION.
