Terms & Conditions of Use

Welcome to Greenleaf Insurance Brokers ("Company," "Greenleaf," "we," "us," or "our").

1.1 Legal Status and Regulatory Disclosure.

Greenleaf Insurance Brokers is a duly registered insurance brokerage company operating under the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Greenleaf operates subject to the regulatory supervision of the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) pursuant to the Insurance Act, applicable NAICOM Guidelines, Circulars, and Regulations as amended from time to time.

Greenleaf is NOT:

• An insurer
• A reinsurer
• A guarantor of any policy
• A claims-paying institution

All insurance policies are underwritten exclusively by licensed insurance companies approved by NAICOM. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any insurer liability on the part of Greenleaf.

Greenleaf Insurance Brokers operates as an independent insurance brokerage company. We:

• Facilitate insurance quotations
• Provide insurance advisory services
• Arrange coverage with licensed insurance carriers
• Assist with policy servicing and claims facilitation

We are not the risk carrier. Insurance policies are underwritten by third-party insurers subject to their own terms and conditions.

By accessing our website, requesting a quotation, submitting documentation, or instructing us to place insurance, you:

• Enter into a legally binding agreement with Greenleaf
• Waive any argument of non-awareness

These Terms and Conditions of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of:

• Our website located at [www.greenleafib.com]
• Any affiliated portals, mobile applications, digital platforms
• Client dashboards and quote tools
• Communications, including email, SMS, or online chat
• Any services provided by Greenleaf Insurance Brokers

By accessing or using our services, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use immediately.

By using our services, you represent and warrant that:

• You are at least 18 years of age (or legal age in your jurisdiction)
• You have legal capacity to enter into binding agreements
• All information you provide is accurate and complete
• You are acting on your own behalf or have proper authority

We reserve the right to refuse service at our discretion.

Submission of an application or request for quotation does not guarantee:

• Acceptance by an insurer
• Issuance of a policy
• Specific premiums
• Particular coverage terms

Coverage only becomes effective upon:

• Formal acceptance by the insurer
• Issuance of policy documentation
• Payment of required premiums
• Accept that continued use constitutes acceptance of amendments

If you disagree with any provision, you must immediately cease use.

Insurance contracts in Nigeria operate on the doctrine of utmost good faith.

You are under a strict and continuous duty to disclose ALL material facts that may influence an insurer's underwriting decision.

Failure to disclose, misrepresentation, or concealment (whether intentional or negligent) may result in:

• Policy avoidance ab initio
• Claim repudiation
• Premium forfeiture
• Regulatory reporting
• Civil and/or criminal liability

Greenleaf bears NO responsibility for losses arising from your failure to provide full and accurate disclosure.

Greenleaf does NOT have binding authority unless expressly confirmed in writing.

No oral statement, email, WhatsApp message, or informal communication shall:

• Bind any insurer
• Create interim coverage
• Amend policy terms

Coverage becomes effective ONLY when:

• The insurer issues formal documentation; AND
• Full premium is received and cleared (unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing).

Pursuant to Nigerian law and NAICOM guidelines:

• Insurance is "No Premium, No Cover."
• Cover does not attach until full premium is paid.

Premium paid to Greenleaf is deemed received on behalf of the insurer only when:

• Funds are cleared in our designated account; AND
• Payment confirmation is issued.

Greenleaf shall not be liable for:

• Bank delays
• Failed transfers
• Reversed transactions
• Fraudulent third-party payment interference

To the maximum extent permitted under Nigerian law, Greenleaf's liability shall be strictly limited to:

• Direct losses caused solely by proven gross negligence of the Broker.

Under no circumstances shall Greenleaf be liable for:

• Indirect loss, consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of opportunity, loss of goodwill, business interruption, loss arising from insurer insolvency, delayed claims settlement, or regulatory penalties imposed on the Client

Maximum aggregate liability shall not exceed the total brokerage commission earned by Greenleaf in respect of the specific policy giving rise to the claim.

Greenleaf does not guarantee the financial solvency of any insurer.

Placement with a NAICOM-licensed insurer does not constitute a guarantee of solvency, claims-paying ability, or ongoing regulatory compliance.

In the event of insurer liquidation, insolvency, or regulatory intervention, Greenleaf shall bear no liability whatsoever.

Greenleaf will assist in claims facilitation.

The insurer retains sole and absolute discretion to:

• Approve or decline claims
• Interpret policy terms
• Apply exclusions
• Determine quantum

Greenleaf shall not be liable for claim rejection, partial settlement, delay in settlement, or disputes arising from policy wording.

You agree to fully indemnify and hold harmless Greenleaf, its directors, officers, staff, and representatives against:

• Claims arising from inaccurate disclosures
• Fraud or misrepresentation
• Breach of Nigerian law
• Regulatory investigations triggered by your conduct
• Third-party claims related to your insurance

This indemnity survives termination.

In compliance with Nigerian AML laws and regulatory requirements, Greenleaf may:

• Request identification documents
• Verify beneficial ownership
• Conduct enhanced due diligence
• Report suspicious transactions

We reserve the right to refuse transactions, delay placement, freeze processing, or terminate relationships without liability where required by law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability where exclusion is prohibited by law.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Greenleaf Insurance Brokers, its directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, or expenses arising from:

• Your breach of these Terms

Greenleaf Insurance Brokers operates subject to applicable insurance regulatory authority in its jurisdiction(s) of operation. Licensing details are available upon request.

We may share data with insurers, reinsurers, loss adjusters, regulatory authorities, and law enforcement agencies. You waive claims arising from lawful data disclosures.

Complaints should first be submitted in writing to Greenleaf.

If unresolved, complaints may be escalated to the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) in accordance with its dispute resolution framework.

Nothing herein limits NAICOM's statutory oversight powers.

Insurance fraud is a criminal offence under Nigerian law. Greenleaf reserves the right to:

• Report suspected fraud
• Cooperate with law enforcement
• Share evidence with insurers and regulators

We may immediately suspend or terminate services where fraud is suspected, regulatory issues arise, payment default occurs, false information is detected, or there is reputational risk without prior notice and without liability.

Greenleaf shall not be liable for failure or delay due to government action, regulatory intervention, civil unrest, cyberattacks, power outages, telecommunications failure, or banking system disruptions.

These Terms shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. All disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the High Courts of Nigeria.

At our discretion, disputes may first be submitted to mediation, arbitration, or the Insurance Ombudsman (where applicable).

If any provision is invalid under Nigerian law, remaining provisions remain enforceable.

Greenleaf reserves the unrestricted right to amend these Terms at any time without prior notice. Updated versions become binding upon publication.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Greenleaf Insurance Brokers and supersede all prior discussions, representations, or communications.
