Maybe not in all cases. However, we may need information about your personal objectives, details of your current financial situation and any relevant information, so that we can arrange insurance policies for you, issue insurance policies to you or to give you advice about your insurance needs. We will ask you for the details that we need to know.
In some cases, we will not ask for any of this information. If we do not ask, or if you do not give us all of the information we ask for, any advice you receive may not be appropriate to your needs, objectives and financial situation.
You should read the warnings contained in any SOA, or any other warnings that we give you, carefully before making any decision about an insurance policy.
Where we provide you with advice about your insurance arrangements, that advice is current at the time that we give it. We will review your insurance arrangements when you inform us about changes in your circumstances, or upon renewal of your insurances.
Contractual Liability and your insurance cover
Many commercial or business contracts contain clauses dealing with your liability (including indemnities or hold harmless clauses). Such clauses may entitle your insurers to reduce cover, or in some cases, refuse to indemnify you at all. You should seek legal advice before signing and accepting contracts.

How will I pay for the services provided?
Payment for the services we provide you are payable directly to DUNK INSURANCE. For each insurance product, the insurer will charge a premium that includes any relevant taxes, charges and levies. DUNK INSURANCE often receive a payment based on a percentage of this premium (excluding relevant taxes, charges and levies) called commission, which is paid to DUNK INSURANCE by the insurers. In some cases, you will also be charged a fee. These will all be shown on the invoice that is sent to you.
You can choose to pay for our services by any of the payment methods set out in the invoice. You are required to pay DUNK INSURANCE within the time set out on the invoice.
If there is a refund or reduction of your premium as a result of a cancellation or alteration to a policy, or based on a term of your policy (such as a premium adjustment provision), we will retain any fee we have charged you. We will also retain commission depending on our arrangements with the insurer, or charge you a cancellation fee equal to the reduction in commission.
When you pay us your premium it will be banked into DUNK INSURANCE's trust account. DUNK INSURANCE will retain the commission from the premium you pay us and remit the balance to the insurer in accordance with DUNK INSURANCE's arrangements with the insurer. DUNK INSURANCE will earn interest on the premium while it is in their trust account or DUNK INSURANCE may invest the premium and earn a return. DUNK INSURANCE will retain any interest or return on investment earned on the premium.
How are any commissions, fees or other benefits calculated for providing the financial services?

X = Y% x P

X = DUNK INSURANCE's commission
Y% = the percentage commission paid to DUNK INSURANCE by the insurer. DUNK INSURANCE's commission varies
between 0% and 30%.
P = the amount you pay for any insurance policy (less any government fees or charges included in that amount).
We will receive 80% of DUNK INSURANCE's commission.
We receive 80% from DUNK INSURANCE for fees for each policy we arrange for you.
Any fees that DUNK INSURANCE or we charge you will be detailed on our tax invoice.
DUNK INSURANCE does not and we do not often pay any commissions, fees or benefits to others who refer you to us or refer us to an insurer. If DUNK INSURANCE does, DUNK INSURANCE will pay commissions to those people out of its commission or fees (not in addition to those amounts).
Our employees that will assist you with your insurance needs will be paid a market salary.
If we give you personal advice, we will inform you of any fees, commission or other payments we, our associates or anyone referring you to us (or us to any insurer) will receive in relation to the policies that are the subject of the advice.
