Affiliates

Our affiliated companies are Grange Insurance Association and Granwest Property & Casualty (“Granwest”). These Terms apply to both companies.

Patrons of Husbandry

As a benefit of owning a Grange Insurance Association policy, you are automatically a supportive member of the fraternal Grange. The Grange Insurance Association has had a successful relationship with the Patrons of Husbandry for over 110 years. The Patrons of Husbandry is a fraternal organization also known as the Grange. The Grange was formed in 1867 by a group of farmers for their mutual support and protection and to foster civic, moral, and political responsibility. If you are a Grange Insurance Association or a Granwest Property & Casualty policyholder, we cordially invite you to call the Patrons of Husbandry at 1 (888) -4-Grange to discover the full benefits of participating in this organization.

Online Payments

This Online Payment Agreement ("Agreement") for initiating policy premium payments for your insurance policy governs the online payment service offered by us. By using the online service you agree to abide by these Terms. This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with these Terms and all applicable federal laws and regulations.

To initiate premium payments toward your insurance policy(ies) through our online payment service, you must have an eligible bank account and an online password, unless making a onetime payment or guest payment. The online password will allow you to initiate online premium payments for your policy. This password can be changed. We recommend that you change your password regularly. We are entitled to act on instructions received under your password without any requirement to question those instructions. For security purposes, it is recommended that you memorize this online password and do not write it down. You are responsible for keeping your password, User Account information, and other account data confidential. You must also promptly update all billing information to keep your account with our online payment service current, complete, and accurate, and you must promptly contact us if your credit card or other relevant account information is lost, stolen, compromised, or if you become aware of a potential breach of account security. You authorize us to obtain or determine updated or replacement expiration dates for your credit card or other payment method in the event that such, as you provided to us, expires or is terminated. We reserve the right to charge any renewal card or payment method issued to you to the same extent as the expired or terminated card or payment method.

The first time you initiate payments through the online payment service you will be required to confirm your acceptance of the Agreement. It is understood and agreed by you that this service is provided for your convenience and payment of your premium continues to be your responsibility and obligation as stated in your existing agreement with us. You agree and acknowledge that we are not liable or responsible for any system failure, misdirection of your payment, or any system error that was beyond our control.

There are no separate monthly or transaction fees for initiating payments through the online payment service. However, if you choose to pay less than your entire policy premium in one payment and, instead, select a recurring payment plan that includes service fees, those service fees will continue to apply even if you choose to use this online payment system. Please note that fees may be assessed and billed separately by your funding provider and/or online service provider.

You may select a recurring payment plan. If you select a recurring payment plan and your policy premium increases or decreases, the amount of premium withdrawn from your funding account will automatically be adjusted in accordance with the payment plan you have selected. In addition to this Agreement, you, GIA, and Granwest agree to be bound by and will comply with the requirements of the rules and regulations of any funds transfer system and applicable state and federal laws and regulations. We reserve the right to terminate this Agreement and your access to initiate online payments, in whole or in part at any time. We may assign this Agreement to any now-existing or future direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate. We may also assign or delegate certain rights and responsibilities under this Agreement to independent contractors or other third parties.

We reserve the right to change the charges, fees, or terms described in this Agreement. When changes are made to any fees, charges, or other material terms, we will update this Agreement, and either send a notice to you at the address shown on our records or send you an email. The notice will be posted or sent at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of any additional fees for online transactions. You will also be notified of any changes in the type or frequency of transactions or any increase in your responsibility for unauthorized transactions, unless an immediate change is necessary to maintain the security of the system. If such a change is made, and it can be disclosed without jeopardizing the security of the system, we will provide you with electronic or written notice within thirty (30) days after the change. As always, you may choose to accept or decline changes by continuing or discontinuing participation in online payments. We also reserve the option, at our sole discretion, to waive, reduce, or reverse charges or fees in individual situations.

Disputes between you, GIA, and/or Granwest under this Agreement that relate to your payment(s) are subject to the provisions of your insurance policies and or state laws and regulations. Nevertheless, you agree that if payment is not received from your credit card issuer, bank, or payment service, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand. You also agree to pay all costs of collection, including attorneys' fees and costs, on any outstanding balance.

When making payments, you authorize GIA or our authorized payment service to initiate and your financial institution or credit card issuer to execute and pay any amounts described herein and associated with your account and to continue charging all such amounts until you or we terminate this Agreement in accordance with our policy in place at the time or the amounts are paid in full, whichever is later. You further acknowledge that GIA or its authorized vendor may seek pre-authorization or may make repeated attempts to fulfil payments, as necessary. By making payments, you certify that you are an authorized user of your account and that you will not dispute the payment with your financial institution, so long as the transaction corresponds to the services described and to these Terms. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars.

General Provisions

The Terms and the Privacy Policy, as each may be amended from time to time, constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between us and you regarding the Website and Content. The Terms and the Privacy Policy supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between GIA and you regarding those subjects.

No waiver or failure by us to enforce any provision of the Terms or the Privacy Policy shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an officer of GIA or Granwest.
