The Sites and Apps (and any materials and services made available by Palomar through them) are referred to collectively in these Terms of Service as the “Online Properties.”

If you are an agent of Palomar, certain agent-specific terms and conditions may apply to you and may supersede these Terms of Service.

Secured Areas

Some portions of this site are restricted and require authorization for access. Unauthorized use of or access to these areas is prohibited. Actual or attempted unauthorized use of or access to such areas may result in criminal and/or civil prosecution. Attempts to access such areas without authorization may be viewed, monitored, and recorded. Any information obtained may be given to law enforcement organizations in connection with any investigation or prosecution of possible criminal activity on this system. If you are not an authorized user of such areas or do not consent to continued monitoring, you should not attempt to access such areas.

You must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in using the Online Properties and Products.

DISCLAIMER. The Online Properties may make available listings, links, services, and descriptions and images of goods or services (collectively, “Products”). Such Products may be made available by third parties (“Third Party Products”). THE ONLINE PROPERTIES AND ANY PRODUCT AND THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU “AS IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. PALOMAR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE ONLINE PROPERTIES AND ANY PRODUCTS AND THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION: THAT THE ONLINE PROPERTIES WILL BE UPDATED, COMPLETE, CORRECT, OR SECURE; AND THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND TITLE. ALL DISCLAIMERS OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING IN THIS SECTION AND ELSEWHERE IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE) ARE MADE ON BEHALF OF BOTH PALOMAR AND ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “AFFILIATED ENTITIES”).

Use of Third Party Products. YOUR USE OF THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS IS SUBJECT TO ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS, CONDITIONS AND POLICIES APPLICABLE TO SUCH THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS (SUCH AS TERMS OF SERVICE OR PRIVACY POLICIES OF THE PROVIDERS OF SUCH THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS).

Registration; User Names and Passwords. You may need to register to use all or part of the Online Properties. Unauthorized access or use of such portions of the Online Properties is prohibited. Your user name and password are for your personal use only and should be kept confidential and secure. You must promptly notify Palomar of any confidentiality breach or unauthorized use of your user name or password, or your account.

Submissions. You represent and warrant that any information you provide through or in connection with the Online Properties (each, a “Submission”) is and will remain accurate and complete, and you will update such information as needed. For each Submission you make, you hereby grant to Palomar a worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable and fully sublicensable (through multiple tiers) license, without additional consideration to you or any third party, to reproduce, distribute, perform and display (publicly or otherwise), create derivative works of, adapt, modify and otherwise use and exploit such Submission, in any format or media now known or hereafter developed, and for any purpose. The above license grant applies to all Submissions; but, for the avoidance of doubt, any personal data submitted through the Online Properties remains subject to the Palomar Privacy Policy.

If you wish to make a Transaction, you may be asked to supply certain relevant information, such as your credit card number and its expiration date, your billing address and your shipping information. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD THAT YOU SUBMIT IN CONNECTION WITH A TRANSACTION.

You agree to pay all charges incurred by you or on your behalf through the Online Properties, at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. In addition, you are responsible for any taxes applicable to your Transactions. While it is our practice to confirm orders and payments by e-mail, the receipt of an e-mail confirmation does not constitute our acceptance of an order or payment, or our confirmation of an offer to sell a Product.

Proprietary Rights. The Online Properties are protected by proprietary rights and laws. You may refer to, copy and use material on the Online Properties for personal, non-commercial purposes only and provided that your copies retain all copyright, trademark and other proprietary notices that appear on the original screens.

As between you and Palomar, all aspects of the Online Properties are proprietary to Palomar. Nothing contained on the Online Properties should be construed as granting any intellectual property rights to the Online Properties (or any portion thereof), including any right to use any of the trademarks appearing on the Online Properties, without the express prior written consent of the owner.

Indemnity. Except to the extent prohibited under applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Palomar and the Affiliated Entities from and against all claims, losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of (a) your use of, or activities in connection with, the Online Properties (including all Submissions); and (b) any violation or alleged violation of these Terms of Service by you.

Termination. These Terms of Use are effective until terminated. Palomar may terminate or suspend your use of the Online Properties at any time and without prior notice, including if Palomar believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Use. Upon any such termination or suspension, your right to use the Online Properties will immediately cease, and Palomar may, without liability to you or any third party, immediately deactivate or delete your user name, password and account, and all associated materials, without any obligation to provide any further access to such materials.

Cookies

Palomar may use cookies to customize our site for return visitors. A cookie will not allow a website to learn any personal identifiable information (such as your real name and address) that you have not otherwise disclosed.

Our website currently uses cookies to help with navigation on our website and to maintain access quality for users. We also use the following Google cookies:

You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser.
Google AdWords: We also use the Google AdWords remarketing service to advertise to previous visitors to our site on third-party websites, such as Google. For example, Google AdWords would cause visitors to our site to see Palomar advertisements on the Google search results page or on a site in the Google Display Network. Google AdWords collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google AdWords with personally identifiable information. Although Google AdWords plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google AdWords about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google AdWords’ use of cookies by using the Google Ad Preferences page. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page.
Palomar may also use pixel tags, web beacons, or other similar technologies (each, a “Tag”). We use Tags to track the actions of website users and email recipients, measure the success of our communications, compile statistics about website usage and response rates, and gauge the age ranges of the audience which viewed the videos on this website.
During the quoting and claims process or while managing an existing account with Palomar, customers may be asked to divulge information such as their legal name, address, phone number, e-mail address, social security number, driver’s license number, date of birth, credit card information, family member information, or other personal statements of fact. In addition, we may collect data from third parties, including but not limited to, consumer reports that provide us with driving records, claim histories, and credit information. We use this information to provide customers with accurate quotes, underwrite and rate a policy, process claims, ensure appropriate billing, or provide general service to your account.
When you disclose personal information (customer information that is not public) to us or we obtain it from third parties, it remains with us. Palomar will not sell, trade, or rent any personal information about you to companies or organizations outside of Palomar except as permitted by law. We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to employees who need to know that information, and we also inform our employees about the need to protect your personal information. Finally, whenever we share your personal information with organizations that provide support services, we also require them to protect your personal information.
We have established physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information. Our site is protected with a variety of security measures such as change control procedures, passwords, and physical access controls. We also employ a variety of other mechanisms to ensure that data you provide is not lost, misused, or altered inappropriately. These controls include data confidentiality policies and regular database backups.
This site contains a number of links to other sites. Palomar is not responsible for the security or privacy practices of these sites, the products or services offered by these sites, or the content appearing at these sites. Palomar does not endorse any of the products or services marketed at these other sites.

If you submit any Personal Information relating to other people to us or to our service providers, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Online Privacy Statement.

We will not sell, rent, trade, loan, lease, or otherwise disclose any personal information we collect from you to anyone, for any reason.
