Welcome to the Enrollment Site (the “Site”), a website administered by Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services, LLC * (“Gallagher”). The Site provides potential insureds with an online market to procure insurance coverage through the listed insurer as part of the program described on the Site.
General Terms
THESE TERMS OF SERVICE (THESE “TERMS”) CONSTITUTE A BINDING AGREEMENT, GOVERNING USE OF THE SITE AND PURCHASE OF APPLICABLE COVERAGE, BETWEEN YOU AND GALLAGHER. THESE TERMS ARE EFFECTIVE BETWEEN YOU AND GALLAGHER AS OF THE DATE OF YOUR FIRST VISIT TO THE SITE. YOUR USE OF THE SITE IS SUBJECT TO YOUR PRIOR AND CONTINUED ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS. THESE TERMS SHALL REMAIN VALID AND EFFECTIVE UNTIL MODIFIED OR TERMINATED BY GALLAGHER. CONTINUED USE OF THE SITE AND/OR ENROLLMENT IN COVERAGE SIGNIFIES YOUR CONTINUED ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS AND ANY CHANGES TO THEM. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CERTAIN LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS.
If you are accessing these Terms on behalf of another individual(s), you represent that you have the authority to bind such individual(s) to these Terms, in which case the terms “you” and “your” shall refer to such other individual(s) as well. If you do not have such authority or if you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you must immediately discontinue use of the Site and you are not permitted to place coverage thereby. These Terms may be updated from time to time, and you should check these Terms regularly to be sure that you are aware of any changes as they may arise.
Insurance Disclaimers
- The policy and coverage information provided on the Site summarizes an outline of certain terms and conditions of the insurance proposed by the insurers, based on the information provided by your company. The insurance policies themselves must be read to fully understand the terms, coverages, exclusions, limitations and/or conditions of the actual policy contract of insurance. Policy forms are available on the user site. We make no warranties with respect to policy limits or coverage considerations of the carrier. Any entity not named in the application and resulting policy may not be an insured entity. This may include affiliates, subsidiaries, LLC’s, partnerships and joint ventures. Contact us with questions on these or any other issues of concern.
- Although Gallagher is responsible for the placement of the lines of coverage specified on the Site and in the applicable application, Gallagher is acting at your direction. You have the sole discretion for the selection and approval of any insurance placed as well as other material decisions involving your risk management, risk transfer and/or loss prevention needs.
- Gallagher is not required to provide Services to you if Gallagher reasonably considers that to do so would put Gallagher in breach of, or would expose Gallagher or its affiliates to fines, penalties or sanctions under any laws, regulations, professional rules or, in Gallagher’s sole opinion, you have breached a term/the terms of the Policies. In such circumstances, Gallagher will be entitled to terminate its Services with immediate effect. In the event that Gallagher exercises its right to terminate its Services with immediate effect, Gallagher will not be responsible or liable to you for any direct or indirect loss, which you or any other party may suffer as a result.
- Please be aware that Gallagher is generally restricted from providing broking, claims handling or other services that relate to Cuba and Iran, including due to significant difficulties in processing payments and other commercial and reputational considerations.
Restrictions on Use
Gallagher may discontinue or alter any aspect of the Site, remove content from the Site, restrict the time the Site is available or restrict the amount of use permitted at Gallagher’s sole discretion and without prior notice or liability. You agree that Gallagher may, under certain circumstances, immediately suspend and/or terminate your access to the Site or any part thereof. Cause for such measures shall include, without limitation: (a) breaches or violations of these Terms or other incorporated agreements or guidelines; (b) discontinuance or material modification to the Site; (c) unexpected technical or security issues or problems; (d) extended periods of inactivity; and/or (e) engagement by you in fraudulent or illegal activities. You further agree that such measures shall be taken in Gallagher’s sole discretion and without liability to you or any third party.
Compensation Disclosure
- Gallagher companies are primarily compensated from the usual and customary commissions, fees or, where permitted, a combination of both, for brokerage and servicing of insurance policies, annuity contracts, guarantee contracts and surety bonds (collectively “insurance coverages”) handled for a client’s account, which may vary based on market conditions and the insurance product placed for the client.
- In placing, renewing, consulting on or servicing your insurance coverages, Gallagher companies may participate in contingent and supplemental commission arrangements with intermediaries and insurance companies that provide for additional compensation if certain underwriting, profitability, volume or retention goals are achieved. Such goals are typically based on the total amount of certain insurance coverages placed by Gallagher with the insurance company, not on an individual policy basis. As a result, Gallagher may be considered to have an incentive to place your insurance coverages with a particular insurance company. If you do not wish to have your commercial insurance placement included in consideration for additional compensation, contact your producer or service team for an opt-out form.
- Gallagher companies may receive investment income on fiduciary funds temporarily held by them, or from obtaining or generating premium finance quotes, unless prohibited by law.
- Gallagher companies may also access or have an ownership interest in other facilities, including wholesalers, reinsurance intermediaries, captive managers, underwriting managers and others that act as intermediaries for both Gallagher and other brokers in the insurance marketplace some of which may earn and retain customary brokerage commission and fees for their work.
If you have specific questions about any compensation received by Gallagher and its affiliates in relation to your insurance placements, please contact your Gallagher representative for more details.

Treatment of Information
Gallagher understands the need to protect the confidentiality and security of your confidential and sensitive information and strives to comply with applicable data privacy and security laws. Your confidential and sensitive information will be protected by Gallagher and only used to perform services for you; provided that Gallagher may disclose and transfer your information to our affiliates, agents or vendors that have a need to know such information in connection with the provision of such services (including insurance markets, as necessary, for marketing, quoting, placing and/or servicing insurance coverages). We may also disclose such information as required by applicable data protection laws or the order of any court or tribunal, subject to our providing you with prior notice as permitted by law.
We will (i) implement appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect personal information; (ii) timely report security incidents involving personal information to affected parties and/or regulatory bodies; (iii) create and maintain required policies and procedures; and (iv) comply with data subjects’ rights, as applicable. To the extent applicable under associated data protection laws, you are a “business” or “controller” and Gallagher is a “service provider” or “data processor.” You will ensure that any information provided to Gallagher has been provided with any required notices and that you have obtained all required consents, if any and where required, or are otherwise authorized to transfer all information to Gallagher and enable Gallagher to process the information for the purposes described in these Terms, on the Site and as set forth in Gallaher’s Privacy Policy located at https://www.ajg.com/privacy-policy/. Gallagher may update its Privacy Policy from time to time and any updates will be posted to such site.
Dispute Resolution
Gallagher does not expect that it will have a formal dispute with any of its clients. However, in the event that one should arise, we should each strive to achieve a fair, expedient and efficient resolution and we’d like to clearly outline the resolution process. If the parties have a dispute regarding Gallagher’s services, the relationship governed by this Site (“Dispute”), or specific provisions in these Terms of Service, each party agrees to resolve that Dispute by mediation. The Dispute will be governed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures. All Dispute resolutions will take place in Chicago, IL, unless you and Gallagher agree to another location. If mediation fails to resolve the Dispute, you and Gallagher agree to binding arbitration. The parties will equally divide all costs of the mediation and arbitration proceedings and will each pay their own attorneys’ fees. Each party waives all rights to commence litigation in court to resolve a Dispute, and specifically waives all rights to pursue relief by class action or mass action in court or through arbitration. However, the parties do not waive the ability to seek a court order of injunction in aid of the mediation and arbitration required by these Terms.
Electronic Delivery
In lieu of receiving documents in paper format, you agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to accept electronic delivery of any documents that Gallagher may be required to deliver to you (including, but not limited to, insurance policies and endorsements, account statements and all other agreements, forms and communications) in connection with services provided by Gallagher. Gallagher may deliver documents to you via electronic mail or by other electronic means, including posting documents to a secure website. For additional information, please review “Agreement to do Business with Gallagher,” which is available on the Site.
Governing Law and Other Miscellaneous Terms
The parties and their respective personnel are and shall be independent contractors. Gallagher is not your employee, agent or fiduciary. Neither party by virtue of these Terms shall have any right, power or authority to act or create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party.
The parties agree that breach of the provisions of these Terms would cause irreparable harm and significant injury to Gallagher which would be both difficult to ascertain and which would not be compensable by damages alone. As such, the parties agree that Gallagher shall have the right to enforce the provisions of these Terms by injunction (without necessity of posting bond), specific performance or other equitable relief without prejudice to any other rights and remedies Gallagher may have for your breach of these Terms.
The validity and effect of these Terms shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflicts or choice of laws principles.
If the performance of any part of these Terms or the Site by either party (other than payment of money) is prevented, hindered, delayed or otherwise made impracticable by reason of any flood, riot, fire, judicial or governmental action, labor dispute, act of God, pandemic, telecommunications failure or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of either party, that party shall be excused from such performance to the extent that it is prevented, hindered or delayed by such cause.
These Terms, including any other agreements or additional terms referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Site, content, and products and services offered via the Site and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, it supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, statements and understandings, whether oral or written, between the parties concerning the Site, content, and products and services sold via the Site. If an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of these Terms is found void or unenforceable in any respect, that provision will be severed, and the arbitrator or court shall reform such provision so as to render it enforceable or, if it is not possible to reform such provision so as to make it enforceable, then delete such provision. As so reformed or modified, the arbitrator or court shall fully enforce these Terms. The provisions of these Terms that by their content are intended to survive the expiration or termination of these Terms, including, without limitation, provisions governing ownership and use of intellectual property, representations, disclaimers, warranties, liability, indemnification, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, remedies, rights after termination and interpretation of these Terms, will survive the expiration or termination hereof for their full statutory period.
Gallagher makes no representation that the Site, content or other material or information on the Site is appropriate to or available in locations outside of the United States. You may not use the Site or export content in violation of United States export laws, regulations or restrictions. If you access the Site from outside of the United States, you are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws.
