• No consideration of adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors When providing advice, the JC Mortgages Limited does not consider the adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability.
The firm will review this annually and make revisions when and if appropriate.
For investment products, as JC Mortgages Limited has selected Irish Life as a preferred provider, analysis when choosing a suitable investment product for you will be limited to products provided by Irish Life Assurance plc, therefore JC Mortgages Limited considers the approach taken by Irish Life Assurance plc in terms of them integrating sustainability risks into their product offering,

• Investment Products/ Insurance Based Investment Products (IBIPs); Ongoing suitability assessments form part of the service to our clients. On an annual basis the firm will carry out a periodic review of suitability.

• Consumer Insurance Contracts Act 2019
For the protection of clients, the Act imposes duties on both the client and product providers at pre
/ post contract stage, as well as in respect of claims handling.

Cooling off Period
Life Insurance Contracts may be cancelled by giving notice in writing to us or the product provider. This “cooling off” period allows 30 days, from the day the product provider send you your plan documents, to change your mind. Should you choose to cancel your plan, all benefits will end, and you will receive a refund for any premiums due. You will only be liable for the cost of the premium for the period of cover already received.

A Savings/Investment contract may be cancelled within 30 days, as above. All benefits will end however, the refund value of your investment will account for any fall in the value of your investment that may have taken place during that 30-day period. You may not get back the full amount invested as the amount refunded is the value on the date of cancellation.

The product provider may withdraw benefits on default of payments due under any products arranged for your benefit. Details of these provisions will be included in your product Terms and Conditions.

Claims
The product provider will handle all claims promptly and fairly.

Any contract with a product provider is issued on the understanding that the information given on the application form and any related document is true and complete. If this is not the case the product provider has the right to cancel the contract of Insurance or refuse payment of any claim made.

If you make a false or misleading claim in any material respect (and know it to be false or misleading or consciously disregards whether it is) the product provider is entitled to refuse to pay and to terminate the contract. Where Irish Life Assurance plc becomes aware that a client has made a fraudulent claim, they may notify the client advising that they are voiding the contract of insurance.

The product provider may refuse all liability in respect of any claim made after the date of the fraudulent act and, is under no obligation to return any of the premiums paid under the contract. Where a product provider cancels the insurance contract, they will repay the balance of any premium due to the client and will provide the reason for cancellation.

Any exclusions of cover will be explicitly advised prior to the commencement of the contract.
It is expected that clients cooperate with the product provider with respect to any investigation of insured events including responding to reasonable requests for information in an honest and reasonably careful manner and must notify them of the occurrence of an insured event in a reasonable time and in accordance with the terms of the contract of insurance.
Should a client become aware, after a claim is made, of information that would either support or prejudice the claim, they have a duty under the Act to disclose it. (the product provider is under the same duty).

Effect of failure to comply with the Act

A court of competent jurisdiction may reduce the amount of benefit paid to you, if you are in breach of your duties under the Act.
