4.3.1.3 You further acknowledge that, to the extent permitted by law, Shannons is not liable to you in any way for any loss or damage at all and however caused, arising directly or indirectly in connection with the transmission of an Electronic Instruction through the Main Site, or any failure to receive an Electronic Instruction for whatever reason.
4.3.2 Purchasing insurance policies
4.3.2.1 Where the Main Site enables you to purchase insurance products or services online:
4.3.2.1.1 the parties may enter into an insurance policy using the Main Site by Shannons making an electronic offer via the Main Site and you electronically communicating your acceptance of that offer via the Main Site to Shannons;
4.3.2.1.2 Shannons may act on and process all completed Electronic Instructions transmitted or issued through the Main Site without further consent from or reference to you; and
4.3.2.1.3 Shannons may treat an Electronic Instruction as authentic and is under no obligation to investigate the authenticity or authority of persons issuing or transmitting such Electronic Instructions, or to verify the accuracy and completeness of such Electronic Instructions.
4.3.2.2 Creating a binding insurance contract with Shannons via the Main Site is only available for existing customers through My Insurance and is a three-step process.
4.3.2.2.1 The first step is to register or login to Shannons' My Insurance (this is only accessible to existing Shannons policyholders).
4.3.2.2.2 The second step is to create a quote for the insurance product you are interested in and have selected. Upon completion by you of all required details, the Main Site will provide you with a quote, identified by a quote number. Your property insurance quote and quote number will remain valid for 12 months and will remain accessible for the same period either on your Shannons My Insurance Profile ("Insurance Profile") or by calling Shannons on 13 46 46. Your CTP quote and quote number will remain valid for 35 days and will remain accessible for 35 days by pressing the "Retrieve your quote" button on this Website (Note, CTP quotes are not presently available for viewing or transacting on your Insurance Profile). You can call Shannons on 13 46 46 to purchase a valid property or CTP quote.
4.3.2.2.3 If you wish to take out insurance in accordance with a quote provided to you by Shannons via the Main Site, then, upon completion by you of all required details, step three enables you to accept that quote and create a binding insurance agreement with a corresponding Shannons policy number.
4.3.2.3 When entering into a contract via the Main Site, you will be taken to have communicated your acceptance to an offer of insurance from Shannons only when:
4.3.2.3.1 the Electronic Instruction containing the acceptance from you enters and is recorded in the main Shannons' database or in the case of CTP insurance in the GIO database ("Relevant Database");
4.3.2.3.2 a record is created and stored in the Relevant Database;
4.3.2.3.3 a Shannons policy number is generated by the Relevant Database; and
4.3.2.3.4 Shannons receives all required details of a current and valid payment card which you are authorised to use, which is of a payment card type accepted by Shannons, and to which Shannons is able to charge the required premium.
4.3.2.4 If payment by instalments is offered to you and if you elect to pay your premium by instalments then you may be able to select the particular day of each month (or other instalment period) on which your credit card will be automatically charged for the relevant payment.
4.3.2.5 A binding insurance contract is conditional on Shannons being able to successfully charge against your nominated payment card and Shannons receiving payment of your applicable premium (either by a single payment or where permitted in instalments).
4.3.2.6 Where a transaction is entered into between Shannons and you via the Main Site, a policy number will be issued by Shannons via the Main Site. However, a binding insurance contract is not conditional on the receipt by you of a policy number. Therefore, the failure by you to receive a policy number via the Main Site does not invalidate or otherwise prejudice the existence of an insurance contract or transaction entered into using the Main Site.
4.3.2.7 Shannons may or may not issue a paper confirmation of the insurance policy. The existence of a binding contract is not conditional on Shannons issuing, or you receiving, a paper confirmation of the transaction.

4.3.3.4.1 the Electronic Instruction containing the policy number, premium amount due and payment card details, and an instruction from you to renew the policy, enters and is recorded in the Relevant Database;
4.3.3.4.2 Shannons receives all required details of a current and valid payment card which you are authorised to use, which is of a payment card type accepted by Shannons, and to which Shannons is able to charge the renewal payment;
4.3.3.4.3 a record is created and stored in the Relevant Database;
4.3.3.4.4 a Shannons' receipt number is generated by the payment system; and
4.3.3.4.5 the Relevant Database is updated with information from the payment database.
4.3.3.5 A binding insurance contract is conditional on Shannons being able to successfully charge against your nominated payment card and Shannons receiving payment of all applicable renewal amounts due for the policy (or policies) being renewed (either in a single payment or where permitted in instalments).
4.3.3.6 Shannons, at its discretion, may or may not issue a paper confirmation of the renewal payment. The existence of a valid payment is not conditional on Shannons issuing, or you receiving, a paper confirmation of the transaction.
5. Shannons' Main Site: payments
5.1 All payments for any insurance products, renewals, or other services purchased via the Main Website must be paid in full by clear funds by the due date specified in the relevant confirmation.

Please be aware that personal information such as your name, address and motorcycle, which you save into the Claim Assistant app or transmit to Shannons as part of your accident notification will NOT automatically update on our record of your Shannons policy.
