Terms of Use
These terms govern your access to and use of the BlueHarbor website. Please read them carefully before using our website, information, resources or online features.
Before you continue
Using this website
Welcome to bhiagroup.com, the website associated with BlueHarbor International Assurance Group (“BlueHarbor,” “we,” “us” or “our”). By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the website.
These terms apply to your use of the website and its general content. Insurance policies, reinsurance contracts, surety instruments, brokerage arrangements and other signed agreements are governed by their own terms and documentation.
These terms should be reviewed and adapted to the organization’s actual legal structure, operating jurisdictions and services before being treated as a final legal document.
01 / Agreement
Acceptance of terms
By visiting, browsing or otherwise using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms of Use and agree to comply with them, together with applicable laws and regulations.
If you access the website on behalf of a company, organization or other entity, you represent that you are authorized to act on its behalf in connection with that use.
Additional terms may apply to specific services, portals, forms, materials or transactions. If additional terms conflict with these general website terms, the applicable specific agreement will govern to the extent of the conflict.
02 / Website content
Information and availability
The website may contain general information about insurance, surety, trade finance, risk management, reinsurance, industries, market developments and related topics. Content is provided for general informational purposes only.
We aim to present information clearly and keep it reasonably current, but website content may be incomplete, outdated or subject to change. We do not warrant that every page, publication, data point or external reference is accurate, complete, current or suitable for every purpose.
Website content may be updated, modified, suspended or removed without prior notice. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, compatibility with every device or that the website will always be free from harmful components.
03 / Insurance and risk services
No automatic offer or coverage
Descriptions of insurance products, reinsurance, surety, trade finance solutions, risk services or other offerings are general descriptions and do not constitute an offer to insure, an agreement to provide services, a binder, a guarantee of acceptance or confirmation of coverage.
Any actual insurance or financial arrangement is subject to applicable law, eligibility, underwriting, risk assessment, required approvals and definitive documentation issued or executed by the relevant authorized parties.
Coverage, limits, deductibles, exclusions, premiums, conditions, territorial scope and effective dates are determined by the applicable policy, certificate, endorsement, bond, guarantee or contract. No coverage is effective solely because information appears on this website or a user submits an online form.
Information about trade, credit, political, maritime, supply-chain or other risks is not a guarantee of a particular commercial outcome and should not be treated as individualized legal, financial, investment, insurance or trade advice.
Nothing on this website should be interpreted as confirming a particular license, regulatory authorization, underwriting capacity, financial rating, partnership or geographic right to provide services. Users should verify the relevant entity and authorization before entering into a transaction.
04 / Acceptable use
Your responsibilities
You agree to use the website lawfully and responsibly. You must not:
- Use the website in violation of applicable laws, regulations or third-party rights.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, its systems, accounts, data or connected services.
- Introduce malicious code, interfere with website operation or attempt to bypass security measures.
- Use automated tools to extract content or data in a manner that violates applicable law, these terms or the rights of others.
- Misrepresent your identity, authority, affiliation or the accuracy of information submitted through website forms.
- Submit information that you are not authorized to disclose, including confidential or personal information belonging to another person.
- Use website content to impersonate BlueHarbor, mislead others or imply an endorsement or commercial relationship that does not exist.
We may take reasonable steps to protect the website and its users, investigate suspected misuse and restrict access where permitted by applicable law.
05 / Ownership
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise indicated, website text, design, graphics, logos, visual materials, page layouts and other content may be owned by BlueHarbor or used under permission or license from another rights holder.
Subject to applicable law, you may access and use website content for personal, internal business or informational purposes. You must not reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, commercially exploit or create derivative works from protected material without appropriate authorization, except where permitted by law.
Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of intellectual property to you. Third-party names, trademarks, logos and materials remain the property of their respective owners.
If you believe material on this website infringes your rights, please contact us with sufficient information to identify the material and explain the concern.
06 / External resources
Third-party websites and services
This website may link to external websites, publications, platforms or services for convenience or additional information. These resources are not necessarily owned, operated or controlled by BlueHarbor.
We do not control the content, availability, security or privacy practices of third-party websites and do not endorse their content solely because a link is provided. Accessing an external website is at your discretion and subject to that provider’s terms and policies.
You should independently assess third-party information and review the applicable terms before sharing information, making payments or entering into transactions through external services.
07 / Personal information
Privacy, cookies and communications
Your use of the website may involve the processing of technical information or information you choose to submit. Any such processing should be handled in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection requirements.
Please review our Privacy Policy for information about personal information and our Cookie Policy for information about cookies and similar technologies.
When using contact forms, portals or other online features, you are responsible for providing information that is accurate and that you are authorized to submit. Do not transmit sensitive, confidential or transaction-critical material through a general contact form unless the relevant channel is expressly intended and authorized for that purpose.
Submitting a message or inquiry does not, by itself, establish an insurance relationship, create a professional advisory relationship, confirm a transaction or guarantee a response within a particular timeframe.
08 / Legal limitations
Disclaimers and limitation of liability
Website provided on an available basis
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its general content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties or representations that cannot lawfully be excluded. This includes any implied warranties of accuracy, availability, suitability or non-infringement, to the extent such exclusions are permitted.
No guarantee of outcomes
Risk information, examples, forecasts, commentary and educational materials are not guarantees of future events, coverage, creditworthiness, commercial performance or financial results. Decisions should be based on the relevant facts, professional advice and definitive documents.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, BlueHarbor will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive losses, or loss of profits, revenue, business opportunities, data or goodwill, arising from or related to use of or inability to use this website.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law, including any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be waived. Any liability arising under a separate signed agreement is governed by that agreement and applicable law.
09 / Updates and legal framework
Changes, suspension and governing law
Changes to these terms
We may revise these Terms of Use as the website, services or applicable requirements change. Updated terms will be posted on this page. The revised terms will apply from the stated effective date or, if no date is stated, from publication, subject to applicable law.
Suspension or termination of access
We may modify, suspend or discontinue all or part of the website, or restrict access where reasonably necessary for security, maintenance, legal compliance or protection against misuse. Where required, applicable notice or other legal obligations will be respected.
Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms are subject to the laws and jurisdiction that validly apply to the relevant parties and circumstances. The governing law and forum for a particular dispute may depend on applicable law, the relevant legal entity and any enforceable agreement between the parties.
The appropriate governing law and dispute-resolution provisions should be specified by BlueHarbor after confirming its legal domicile, corporate structure and intended operating jurisdictions. Nothing in this section removes mandatory consumer protections or other non-waivable legal rights.
Severability and interpretation
If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. A failure to enforce a provision does not automatically waive the right to enforce it later.
Common questions
Terms of Use FAQs
Does viewing an insurance product page mean I am insured?
No. Product descriptions are informational. Coverage requires the relevant authorized underwriting and formal policy or contractual documentation.
Can I rely on risk reports as professional advice?
Website articles and risk information are general resources, not individualized legal, financial, insurance or trade advice. You should assess your circumstances and seek qualified advice where appropriate.
Can I reproduce BlueHarbor website content?
Protected content may not be reproduced or commercially exploited without authorization unless applicable law permits it. Third-party content may be subject to separate rights and restrictions.
What terms apply when I use a portal or submit a form?
These general website terms apply alongside any additional terms or instructions presented for that specific portal, form or service. Submitting a form does not automatically create coverage or establish a contract.
How can I ask a question about these terms?
You can contact BlueHarbor through the contact page. Please avoid including sensitive or confidential information in a general inquiry.
