Licensing Status and Conditions

Nature and Scope of Advice
Click Cover Ltd specialises in providing advice to our clients relating to Life and Health insurance products.
We provide the following products:
● Life Insurance
● Critical Illness/Trauma Insurance
● Medical/Health Insurance
● Total & Permanent Disability Insurance
● Income Protection Insurance

● Business Continuity Insurance

● Cover-More Travel Insurance (no advice given)
We conduct independent research provided by Quality Product Research Limited. This research classifies and ranks products by provider, highlighting product differences and ratings, and allows us to ensure the product mix we recommend is fit for purpose.
We choose to be specialists in Risk Insurance and therefore do not provide advice for investments, KiwiSaver, mortgages or fire and general insurance. We offer Travel Insurance through Cover-More Travel Insurance; however, we do not offer any advice in relation to this product.
Conflicts of Interest
To ensure that we prioritise our clients’ interests above our own, we follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are made based on each client’s goals and circumstances. In providing advice to you, should any actual or potential conflict of interest arise, then we undertake to bring any such conflict of interest to your notice so that you may assess our advice objectively.
Our Click Cover Ltd advisers have not been bankrupted or insolvent, have any convictions or been publicly disciplined. Jamie Toon is a Managing Director and shareholder of Click Cover Ltd and can take shareholder dividends.
We keep an updated Conflicts of Interest Register and document any gifts or incentives received by any insurance providers. We undertake a compliance audit, and a review of our compliance programme is undertaken annually by a reputable compliance adviser.
Click Cover Ltd may be paid by the product provider in the form of commission, this is paid when an insurance contract goes in force. Please refer to the Remuneration and Fees section to see how commissions are paid.
Remuneration and Fees
Click Cover Ltd does not charge fees, expenses or any other amount for the financial advice provided to its clients. We do not charge a fee for clients to implement an insurance plan, for reviews or for claims management.
However, we may charge a fee if you are not currently a Click Cover Ltd client, and we are helping you with a claim for a policy that we did not implement. We will discuss with you the nature and total amount of any fees that you will be charged and how they must be paid prior to you going ahead with this service. Our standard fees are $250 + GST per hour.
Click Cover Ltd may be paid by the product provider in the form of commission, this is paid when an insurance contract goes in force. Commissions may be paid as a percentage of the initial insurance premium and/or as an ongoing commission. Click Cover Ltd may also receive ongoing commission for the life of the product(s) placed.
You will not be billed or asked to pay any fees to Click Cover Ltd at any time, even if the engagement of services is terminated by either party.
Complaints Handling and Dispute Resolution
If you have a problem, concern, or complaint about any part of our service or your insurer’s service, please tell us via our Internal Complaints Process so we can fix the problem. Our Internal Complaints Process is as follows:
● You can raise your complaint by contacting us at Internal Complaints on 0800 Click Cover or
team@clickcover.co.nz
● We will contact you by email or telephone within 2 working days to acknowledge your concern.
● We will record your complaint in our company Complaints Register.
● We will investigate promptly your feedback and complaint and take time to understand how you want the complaint resolved. This includes liaising with a product provider/insurer if applicable.
● When a product provider/insurer is involved in the complaint, we will notify them of the complaint as soon as possible.
● We aim to resolve a complaint within 10 business days (a timeframe that allows us to request further information from a product provider/ insurer where applicable.)
● If a complaint is not resolved in 10 working days, we will contact you to let you know why this is and maintain contact with you until the complaint is fully resolved.
● We set aside time at regular intervals to consider any complaints received and whether any lessons can be learnt.
If we cannot agree on how to fix the issue, or you decide not to use the internal complaints process, you can contact the Insurance & Financial Services Ombudsman. This is an independent free service and will help us resolve any disagreements. You can contact the Insurance & Financial Services Ombudsman at:
