CGU Online Terms of Use

Your access and use of “CGU Online" constitutes your agreement to these CGU Online Terms of Use. CGU Online is owned and operated by Insurance Australia Limited ABN 11 000 016 722 which trades as CGU.

"We", "our" and "us" refers to Insurance Australia Limited and its related entities. "You" and "your" refers to the person accessing and using CGU Online. "CGU Online" refers to the information, text, graphics, services and other data contained under the domain name my.cgu.com.au.

These CGU Online Terms of Use apply to your access and use of CGU Online and operate concurrently with the Terms of Use. To the extent of any inconsistency, with regard to your access and use of CGU Online, these CGU Online Terms of Use prevail.

CGU Online enables you to view and manage details relating to certain insurance policies you hold with us. CGU Online is not available for all of our products and some products only have limited functionality; you will need to contact us if you wish to view or manage details which relate to these products.

 

Accessing CGU Online

You are only able to access CGU Online if you have "Registered". You become Registered by accurately completing the details requested by us on the login, registration and authentication pages of CGU Online. The details requested on these pages relate to information about you and a current insurance policy you hold with us for which CGU Online is available. Once you have Registered you will generate a "Login". You will then use your Login to access CGU Online.

You must not provide details of your Login to any other person. You must not allow any other person to use your Login. You must not use another person's Login and may only use CGU Online to view or manage information relating to another person or their insurance policies with their express authority.

Where you hold a policy jointly with another person, each of you will need to become Registered however your individual Logins will enable each of you to view or manage details relating to that jointly held policy. In the case of joint policies, any transaction performed on CGU Online by one policyholder will be deemed an authorised transaction performed by all policyholders.

You will remain Registered where you use your Login at least once in a two-year period. Should you not use your Login to access CGU Online for a period of two years, or such other longer period of time we determine, you will be deemed an "Inactive User" and your access to CGU Online may be disabled.

 

Electronic transactions

You may use CGU Online to perform certain transactions online.

Any transactions performed on CGU Online will not be complete until we receive and process your "Confirmation". Your Confirmation means any communication issued or transmitted by you to us via CGU Online or other electronic means which contains your acceptance in relation to our offer, or your confirmation of payment, whichever applies.

Your Confirmation may not be received by us for various reasons and you acknowledge that we are not liable to you in any way for loss or damage, howsoever caused, directly or indirectly, in connection with the transmission of your Confirmation.

 

Access to CGU Online

We may suspend the availability of all or any part of CGU Online for users from time to time, including for the purposes of routine maintenance or in the event of technical difficulties. Scheduled maintenance typically occurs during off peak-times to minimise disruption to you.

 

Disabling to CGU Online

We may also disable (in whole or part) your access to CGU Online from time to time. Where your access to CGU Online is disabled, including in the event we suspect that there is fraudulent activity, we will use reasonable endeavours to notify you. If you contact us and provide the required identification details, we will use reasonable endeavours to reactivate your access to CGU Online.

 

Terminating access to CGU Online

We reserve the right to terminate your access to CGU Online at any time:

  • Where you breach these Terms of Use. If we terminate your access due to breach of these Terms of Use, we will use reasonable endeavours to notify you that your access has been revoked; or
  • For any reason. If we terminate your access without cause, then we will use reasonable endeavours to provide you with at least 30 days’ notice prior to terminating your access.

You may terminate your access to CGU Online at any time by contacting us and giving us notice to that effect along with sufficient information to enable us to identify your Login.
