Bankers Insurance Website (Schedule A)

These terms of use are entered into by and between you (“Customer” or “you”) and Bankers Insurance, L.L.C. (“Bankers Insurance”).  The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, these “Terms of Use”), govern your access to and use of the Self-Service Portal (the “Self-Service Portal”) provided by Bankers Insurance, including any content, functionality and services offered on or through the Self-Service Portal.

Please read these Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Self-Service Portal.  By clicking to accept or agree to these Terms of Use when this option is made available, Customer accepts and agrees to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use.  If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use, you must not access or use the Self-Service Portal.

  1. Customer is hereby authorized by Bankers Insurance to access and use the Self-Service Portal for the sole and limited purpose of creating auto ID cards and certificates of insurance, accessing documents posted on the Self-Service Portal, viewing insurance policy information, requesting policy changes, and reporting claims, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
  2.

  4. Customer agrees that it will be solely responsible for the user-IDs and passwords that Customer and its employees use to access the Self-Service Portal.  Customer and its employees shall keep such user-IDs and passwords confidential and in a safe place and not disclose them to employees and others who have no need to know such user-IDs and passwords.  Customer shall be responsible and liable for all communications and actions that take place through the use of its user-IDs and passwords, including without limitation, any actions that occur without Customer’s authorization.  Accordingly, it is Customer’s responsibility to take appropriate actions immediately if any user-ID or password is stolen, leaked, compromised or otherwise used without proper consent.  Without limiting the foregoing, Customer shall: (i) notify Bankers Insurance immediately of any unauthorized use of any user-ID, password or the Self-Service Portal or any other known or suspected breach of security; (ii) report to Bankers Insurance immediately and use reasonable efforts to stop immediately any copying or distribution of Self-Service Portal content that is known or suspected by Customer; (iii) notify Bankers Insurance when Customer or any of its employees no longer need access to the Self-Service Portal; (v) notify Bankers Insurance immediately upon the termination of the employment of any employee who had access to the Customer’s user-IDs and passwords; and (vi) change Customer’s user passwords, at a minimum, immediately following the termination of the employment of any employee who had access to the Customer’s passwords.

Without the prior written consent of Bankers Insurance, Customer shall not make any changes, edits or modifications to the auto ID cards or certificates of insurance generated by the Self-Service Portal, including without limitation, altering any subrogation clause or adding additional insureds.  Bankers Insurance hereby consents to Customer modifying the certificates of insurance generated by the Self-Service Portal to include a specific job description.  Customer must contact the Bankers Insurance representative who handles its account to request any other change, edit or modification to a certificate of insurance.  Such changes, edits or modifications often will require the advance approval of the applicable insurance company and an amendment or rider to the applicable insurance policy.
  6. Customer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Bankers Insurance and its affiliated companies, and their employees, contractors, officers, and directors, agents, members and partners harmless from all liabilities, claims, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that arise from Customer’s use or misuse of the Self-Service Portal and the auto ID cards and certificates of insurance generated thereby or Customer’s violation of these Terms of Use, including any use, misuse or violation by Customer’s employees or agents.  Bankers Insurance reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by Customer, in which event Customer will cooperate with Bankers Insurance in asserting any available defenses and shall reimburse Bankers Insurance for the costs, including attorney’s fees, of defending and controlling such matter.
