Remuneration Policy
Chill is remunerated by a professional fee for the initial work and time spent in seeking the most suitable terms, product and insurance company for your specific needs. An administration fee is also charged for the activity involved in the renewal of the policy and any alterations that take place during and at termination of a policy. Our fees are outlined below. We may earn our remuneration on the basis of fee, commission and any other type of remuneration, including a non-monetary benefit or on the basis of a combination of these methods. A non-monetary benefit will only be accepted if it enhances the quality of the service to our clients. We are usually remunerated by commission received from insurance companies for work involved in placing an order and finalising the product on your behalf and for the provision of advice regarding life and non life business. Commission is deemed fully earned by Chill at inception and/or renewal of every policy. A summary of the details of all arrangements for any fee, commission, other reward or remuneration paid or provided to Chill which it has agreed with product producers is available on the Chill website www.chill.ie, remuneration section. Where an override commission is received, this will be disclosed to you in general terms. Fees are charged on the under noted scale, and cover the sourcing of the product, administration costs, and standard advice on product placement. Clients may pay in full for the service provided by means of a fee which will be agreed, in writing, with the client by Chill in advance of the provision of service. The amount of any commission received by Chill will not be deducted from any fee payable. All prices quoted by Chill are inclusive of the applicable Government Levy.
