  1. Additional Terms & Policies

Please review ThunderQuote’s Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference, for information and notices concerning ThunderQuote’s collection and use of your information. Certain areas of and/or products on the Platform may have different terms and conditions posted or may require you to agree with and accept additional terms and conditions or policies.

  1. Account & User Details

By agreeing to these TOS, you agree to provide us with real and accurate information which will be protected under the appropriate privacy laws. However, this protection does not extend to failures on the user’s part to properly protect his/her account and details and we cannot be held responsible for any such failures. Any actions taken, transactions, commitments made by an account will be held against the user, and we will not be held responsible for mistakes or illegal usage.

We recommend users to inform us immediately in order to help them take the appropriate remedies and mitigate damage in the event of unauthorized usage of their accounts.

 

5         Age-related Restrictions

This Platform is targeted at Users aged 18 and above. This is due to the need to process financial transactions through the Platform and requirement for payment details to be linked to the account, and will be similarly enforced through the requirement for payment details linkage. If parents/guardians find any unsuitable usage by your child/ward, you can email us at compliance@thunderquote.com to request a removal of the account.

Any under-age Users are not protected by our TOS and ThunderQuote will not hold any responsibility for their actions. All responsibility will be directed towards the parents/guardians of the minor.

Furthermore, any illegal activities will render your privacy protections invalid and we will submit fully to relevant authorities any and all information required by them.
