You represent that you are entitled to disclose your Third-Party Account login information to Thimble and/or grant Thimble access to your Third-Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein), without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third-Party Account and without obligating Thimble to pay any fees or making Thimble subject to any usage limitations imposed by such third-party service providers. By granting Thimble access to any Third-Party Accounts, you understand that Thimble will access, make available and store (if applicable) any content that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account (“SNS Content”) so that it is available on and through the Platform via your Thimble Account. Depending on the Third-Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third-Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third-Party Accounts will be available on and through your Thimble Account on the Services. Please note that, if a Third-Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable or Thimble’s access to such Third-Party Account is terminated by the third-party service provider, then SNS Content will no longer be available on and through the Services.

Thimble reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Thimble Account and your access to the Services if you create more than one Thimble Account. Further, by providing your Personal Information, including any cellular or other phone numbers, directly to Thimble or via an SNS, you agree to be contacted by Thimble via calls to your cell phone, by text message or telephone calls, including the use of artificial or pre-recorded message calls, and calls made via automatic telephone dialing systems, or via e-mail. Text message & data rates may apply.
You are responsible for safeguarding the password to access your Thimble Account. You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party and that you will take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your Thimble Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You will immediately notify Thimble of any unauthorized use of your Thimble Account to which you are, or should reasonably have been, aware. Thimble will not be responsible if you do not properly secure your password or if you choose to share your password with anyone else.
Payment Policy
You authorize Thimble, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary to help verify or check your identity or prevent fraud. This may include asking you to provide a form of government identification (e.g., driver’s license or passport), your date of birth and other information that is necessary to confirm ownership of your email address or payment method that you have added to your Thimble Account, such as a credit card, debit card or PayPal account (“Payment Method”).
You must provide Thimble with accurate information in relation to your Payment Method so that the purchase of insurance is paid for by you. Additionally, you authorize Thimble to store your Payment Method and charge your Payment Method as outlined in these Terms.
When you select and provide information to us pursuant to a Payment Method, you confirm that you are permitted to use that Payment Method and you authorize us and our designated payment processor to charge the full amount of the insurance to the Payment Method you designate for the purchase.
If you cancel your purchase prior to that purchase being confirmed by Thimble, then Thimble will cancel any preauthorization in respect of your Payment Method and/or refund a nominal amount charged to your Payment Method in connection with that purchase.
We will take steps to rectify any payment processing errors of which we become aware. These steps may include crediting or debiting (as appropriate) the same Payment Method used for the original payment by you, so that you end up paying the correct amount.
Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. Please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Referrals
We may from time to time permit eligible members to participate in referral programs in accordance with these Terms and other terms, including payment amounts and the duration of the program, that are specified on the Platform when you register to participate. If you participate in a Thimble referral program, we will pay you a specified amount of money for each Signup. A “Signup” means that someone potentially interested in purchasing insurance products from Thimble, whose contact information you lawfully provided to us for purposes of the referral program (a “Referred Person”), who is eligible to purchase an insurance policy from Thimble in a jurisdiction where Thimble does business and is at least 18 years of age, and who has not previously registered on the Thimble Platform, both registers and creates a Thimble Account on the Thimble Platform by accurately providing all required information and receives a quote for purchase of an insurance policy from Thimble, within 60 days of your proving the contact information for such Referred Person in connection with the referral program.
For the avoidance of doubt, payment of referral fees hereunder is not contingent upon a Referred Person actually purchasing an insurance policy from Thimble. You may only receive referral fees for one Signup for each Referred Person. You will not be paid referral fees for any Referred Persons who make a Signup and are located in states that prohibit compensation under such circumstances as a matter of law. Any registration by a Referred Person who has already signed up on the Thimble Platform will not count as a Signup for purposes of compensation hereunder. You acknowledge and agree that Thimble may change the referral fees, terminate the referral program and/or disqualify you from participation in the referral program at any time. You agree to promptly return to Thimble all fees paid to you for fraudulent or erroneous registrations. You are responsible for all taxes, charges, and assessments on the fees. In the event that a Signup is voided or cancelled or otherwise determined to be invalid, fraudulent or incomplete, You agrees to promptly return to Thimble the Fees paid for such Signup (regardless of whether such determination of fraud or error is instituted by Thimble, the insurance you, or by any other person or entity). You shall be responsible for all taxes, charges, and assessments on the Fees. You shall not charge Thimble for any fees or costs that are not contained or contemplated in this Agreement.
If you participate in a Thimble referral program, you represent and warrant that your provision of such contact information for each Referred Person for such purpose does not violate any applicable laws, regulations, privacy policies or contractual obligations. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of the referral program, you are not an insurance agent, and therefore shall have no authority to, and shall not, do any of the following: bind any insurer(s) or Thimble, commit to or issue binders, policies or other written evidence of insurance on behalf of Thimble; hold yourself out as being the agent or employee of Thimble, the insurer or their affiliates, or having authority to bind any policy or contract of insurance procured through Thimble; alter or waive the terms or rates of any policy or contract of insurance procured through Thimble; recommend a particular coverage, policy or insurance to any actual or prospective Referred Persons; discuss or compare specific terms and conditions of insurance with any actual or prospective Referred Persons; collect any premiums or any other amounts due under the policies; waive a forfeiture; cancel policies flat or waive any premium payment due from the insured; extend the time for payment of premiums or other monies due insurer(s) or extend credit to the insured; submit an application which back-dates coverage; amend the form or language of any policy or application form; institute, prosecute, or maintain any legal proceedings in connection with any matter pertaining to the business of Thimble, the insurer(s) or any policies; make any representation, pledge the credit of, or make or accept or endorse any notes, or create any obligation on behalf of Thimble or the insurer(s).
