Introduction
Selling insurance via the Internet is fast becoming an option that many
insurance companies and insurance producers are considering. There are
many factors to consider when setting up a Web site. An insurance producer
may simply wish to advertise basic information about his insurance agency.
Other insurance producers may wish to establish a more elaborate Web site
including specifics about insurance products offered, a quoting mechanism,
or the ability for current or prospective insureds to communicate via
e-mail with the insurance agency.
When considering the
information which will be included on the Web site, insurance producers
should consider including certain disclosures and disclaimers. Set forth
below, is a sample of the types of disclosures and disclaimers that may be
included on an insurance producer's Web site.
