According to Article 45 paragraph 1 of the Insurance Supervision Act (VAG), we are obliged to inform you of several important points when you first contact us:

• Our identity and address.
• Our function as independent brokers and representatives who are not subject to any financial or economic ties to insurance companies, with an exclusive duty of loyalty to you.
• Opportunities to inquire about the professional qualifications and further training of our employees.
• Responsibility in the event of omissions, errors or incorrect information in our brokerage activities.
• Handling of personal data, including the purpose, scope, recipients and storage of this data.

The policyholder has the right to revoke his application to conclude a contract or his declaration of acceptance within a period of 14 days. This period begins with the application for or acceptance of the contract. A verifiable form, such as e-mail or other text messages (SMS, WhatsApp, etc.), is sufficient for the revocation. Injured third parties can make claims against the insurance company despite revocation. In such cases, however, the policyholder must pay the premium.

In accordance with Article 43 VAG, we are obliged to provide our employees with regular training and further education. To this end, we maintain a comprehensive employee development program that attaches great importance to professional qualifications. We also meet all Federal Council requirements for the training of insurance intermediaries, although there are no defined minimum standards.

According to Article 45 paragraph 1, letter c ISA, we must also inform you about how you can gain insight into the qualifications of our employees. We confirm on behalf of all our employees that we comply with these requirements:

In accordance with Article 45a VAG, we are obliged to take appropriate organizational measures to prevent conflicts of interest in the brokerage of insurance services or to exclude possible disadvantages for you. We confirm, on our own behalf and on behalf of all internal and external employees and management, that we act exclusively in your interests and have no separate brokerage agreements with insurance companies or other partners. We undertake an exclusive duty of loyalty to you within the meaning of OR 412 ff. As a result, we undertake an exclusive fiduciary duty to you and guarantee that we will not become bankrupt or insolvent:

• We will take and disclose all measures to ensure that we do not have any conflicts of interest in the context of our client relationships. This includes in particular the avoidance of conflicts that could arise from economic interests, political inclinations, national ties, family or friendly relationships and other relevant ties or interests.
• We will not make any offers that promise unlawful advantages and have not granted, received or attempted to receive any financial advantages or benefits in kind as an incentive or remuneration for the award or acceptance of a mandate or the fulfillment of a contract that could be considered unlawful or corrupt.
• We undertake not to grant, receive, attempt to receive or accept, either directly or indirectly, financial benefits or benefits in kind as an inducement or remuneration for the award or acceptance of a mandate or the performance of an assignment that could be considered unlawful conduct, bribery or corruption, and will avoid doing so in the future.
• We have not entered into any cooperation agreements or other agreements with insurance companies that restrict our independence or our ability to work for other insurance companies.

We may receive an administrative fee for our services, which is paid by the insurer. This compensation is disclosed in accordance with the statutory disclosure obligation under Article 45b ISA, whereby its amount and nature is determined by certain calculation parameters:

In consultations prior to the conclusion of insurance policies, our employees will always explain transparently and to the best of their knowledge how high the insurer's compensation is. In the case of compensation for occupational pension services, we expressly point out that we strictly reject all types of additional compensation based on volume, growth or claims. We confirm that we implement and comply with the legal requirements pursuant to Article 48k BVV 2 at all times. At our first consultation, we will inform you of the nature and origin of all management fees.
