Consent to Electronic Communications (E-Consent)
Please ensure you read this information attentively and consider printing a copy or saving it for future reference. By navigating this website and clicking the “submit” button, you are initiating a direct request for an insurance policy from us. To process your application and provide you with the insurance product or service you seek, we require your agreement to utilize and accept electronic signatures, records, and disclosures ('E-Consent'). This policy is designed to inform you of your rights when receiving electronic disclosures, notices, information, and other forms of communication. By submitting your information through our website, you confirm that you have understood and accepted this E-Consent Policy. Furthermore, you agree to engage in transactions using electronic methods for signatures, disclosures, records, and contract documents ('Disclosures').
Option for Paper or Non-Electronic Records. If we determine that you are a suitable candidate for an insurance policy and offer you an electronic copy of any relevant Disclosures related to that policy, you have the option at any point to request these Disclosures in paper form directly from us. Should you require a specific Disclosure in paper format, we aim to provide this to you at no or minimal cost. We will retain all Disclosures as mandated by any applicable laws relevant to the specific transaction, ensuring compliance and transparency throughout our direct interaction with you.
Scope of Consent. This E-Consent Policy is relevant to all online interactions between you and us, including those conducted on any mobile device like phones, smartphones, tablets, and any other electronic device that enables internet connectivity. By agreeing to this E-Consent, you authorize us to process your information and manage all interactions with you electronically. We may also send you electronic notices pertaining to our interactions and transactions. Disclosures can be accessed online on our website and may also be sent to you via email. Refer to the previously mentioned instructions for requesting paper copies of any Disclosures.
Consenting to Do Business Electronically. Before you decide to engage in transactions electronically with us, it's important to assess two key factors: 1. Your willingness to conduct business through electronic means, and 2. Whether you possess the necessary hardware and software capabilities outlined below.
Hardware and Software Requirements. To access and retain the Disclosures electronically, you must have the following minimum technology: A PC or MAC, or a device capable of internet access, an e-mail account, and an Internet browser that supports 256-BIT encryption, such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer, Google Chrome®, or Mozilla Firefox®. For certain documents, a PDF reader like Adobe® Acrobat Reader® or Foxit® might be necessary. Additionally, to keep a copy of the Disclosures for future reference, you'll need a printer or a long-term storage solution, like your computer's hard drive. Should you have any queries about the specific hardware and software requirements, you are encouraged to contact us directly.
Withdrawing Consent. If you choose to withdraw your E-Consent from us at any time, you are able to do so without any charge. However, if you withdraw this E-Consent before finalizing your insurance policy with us, it might prevent you from securing an offer, as this consent is necessary for the one-time transaction to process your application and to conduct business electronically. Should you wish to withdraw this E-Consent, please contact us directly. It's important to note that withdrawing your E-Consent will not affect the legal effectiveness, validity, and enforceability of any electronic disclosures previously provided.
Change to Your Contact Information. You should promptly inform us of any changes to your electronic or physical mailing address. We provide specific instructions on how to update your contact information as needed. Please be aware that autopolicyplus.com is not able to make these updates on your behalf.

Compliance with Do-Not-Call Registry
It is every consumer’s right to add his or her telephone number to the National Do Not Call Registry, which, in general, applies to any plan, program, or campaign to sell goods or services through interstate phone calls. However, a company may call a consumer with whom it has an established business relationship for up to eighteen (18) months after the consumer’s last purchase, delivery or payment, and for up to three (3) months after the consumer submits an application or an inquiry to the company, even if the consumer’s number has been added to the National Do Not Call Registry.
Autopolicyplus.com does not make outbound phone calls to consumers, and therefore does not maintain an internal do not call registry of its own.
