It does not identify the level of cover you purchased nor contain information on Extras you may have selected nor does it detail some significant exclusions to your cover. Please refer to your Schedule of Insurance for your selected cover, and your Private Car Policy Document and your Private Car Policy Summary for full details of the cover provided. How we are different insurethebox provides a new way to insure your car. We aim to encourage our customers to drive more responsibly and safely, at the same time as saving them money. Your insurance is based on the miles you drive. You select how many Policy Miles you expect to drive in a year and this is used to help calculate your premium. Your mileage is measured by a telematics device, called an in-tele-box fitted to your car. When you take out your Policy, we will contact you to arrange for the in-tele-box to be fitted, at no additional cost to you. 1

3 The in-tele-box is licensed to Insure The Box Limited for the purposes of motor insurance and Theft Tracking on Demand. The devices are owned and provided by either Octo Telematics UK Limited or other telematics providers approved by Insure The Box Limited. Please note: In the event that you are not able to make your car available to have an in-tele-box fitted within 14 days of arranging your Policy, we do reserve the right to cancel the insurance cover, subject to us giving you 7 days notice in writing and following the steps described in your Private Car Policy Document. Installation The installers appointed by us are fully trained to install the in-tele-box in your car to the appropriate industry standards and will do so with care and diligence. We or our installers will contact you to confirm the time and location for the installation of the in-tele-box in your car. The device has tamper controls and attack safe guards. If the intelligent alert system is triggered it will notify the Box provider who will then notify us of any unauthorised tampering with the device. Duration of cover Your cover is connected to the miles you drive. You pay for a set number of Policy Miles for a period of policy cover of 12 months. If you need to drive further than your Policy Miles allow there are additional miles available. You can buy Top Up Miles, and you can earn Bonus Miles through safe driving. Policy cover is dependent upon you driving only when you have miles available. Your available Miles for the current period of insurance can be viewed at any time via Your Portal. Please note: if you exceed your Policy Miles and do not Top Up your miles or receive Bonus Miles your policy may be cancelled. Please refer to the Private Car Policy Document for further details. You will not receive a refund for any unused Policy Miles at the end of your Policy. Policy Miles and Top Up Miles Your cover is connected to the miles you drive. You pay for a set number of miles, known as Policy Miles and the in-tele-box records your driving. If you drive safely you can earn Bonus Miles and a premium tailored to your driving when you renew. Drivers can be judged on their own merits and safer drivers rewarded. If you need additional miles you can buy Top Ups, as you might do with a mobile phone. Top Up Miles can be bought in bundles of 250, 500, 1,000 or 2,000 miles. Bonus Miles The in-tele-box collects data about your driving habits and this information is relayed to Your Portal where you can see all your driving details at the click of a button. Certain aspects of your driving will be assessed and rated and safe driving will be rewarded with extra miles, called Bonus Miles. The in-tele-box will record the following information about your driving: the time of day you drive the speed you drive at on different sorts of road how smoothly you drive if you take breaks on long journeys your motorway mileage your total mileage You can earn up to 100 Bonus Miles each month* and any Bonus Miles you don't use can be rolled over to next year's renewal. Please note:* Bonus Miles are calculated using a variety of factors and the interaction between those factors defines the final score you receive. Factors which have been proven to be a higher risk such as driving at night will result in a greater impact on the overall score you receive. For example, anyone who drives regularly at night 2

4 will reduce their potential to earn Bonus Miles. Please refer to the Private Car Policy Document, the Private Car Policy Summary and for further details of our proposition.
