Refund Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

Clay Anders Insurance Services Inc. is committed to transparency regarding insurance billing procedures, cancellation requests, and refund eligibility. Please read this policy carefully before requesting any cancellation or refund.

1Insurance Products

Insurance products arranged through Clay Anders Insurance Services Inc. are issued through third-party insurance carriers. All refund and cancellation procedures are therefore subject to the specific policies of the issuing carrier in addition to applicable state insurance regulations.

2Cancellation Requests

Policyholders wishing to cancel an insurance policy must submit a formal cancellation request subject to:

  • Carrier-specific cancellation requirements and procedures
  • Applicable North Carolina state insurance regulations
  • Written authorization from the named insured
  • Identity verification as required by the carrier
  • Advance notice requirements as specified in the policy

3Refund Eligibility

Refund eligibility for insurance premiums is determined by several factors, including:

  • Type and nature of the insurance policy
  • Unearned premium calculations per carrier guidelines
  • Timing of the cancellation request relative to the policy period
  • Carrier underwriting guidelines and short-rate penalties
  • Applicable legal and regulatory requirements

4Non-Refundable Charges

Certain fees and charges may be non-refundable, including:

  • Administrative processing fees
  • Agency service charges
  • Policy issuance fees
  • Brokerage and placement fees

These charges are non-refundable unless otherwise expressly required by applicable law or regulation.

5Refund Processing

Approved refunds may require several business days to process, depending on the policies of the issuing insurance carrier, the financial institution handling the transaction, the original payment method used, and carrier processing timelines. Clay Anders Insurance Services Inc. has no control over the speed of carrier refund processing once a cancellation has been approved.

6No Refund Guarantee

Submission of a refund or cancellation request does not guarantee approval or the issuance of a refund. All requests are subject to review, carrier approval, and compliance with applicable policies and regulations. Clay Anders Insurance Services Inc. will communicate the outcome of any refund request in a timely manner.

7Fraud Prevention

All refund requests are subject to review for fraud prevention and regulatory compliance purposes. We reserve the right to delay or deny any refund request where there is reasonable suspicion of fraudulent activity, misrepresentation, or violation of policy terms.

8Carrier Authority

Insurance carriers maintain independent refund and cancellation policies that may supersede agency procedures where applicable. Clay Anders Insurance Services Inc. acts as an intermediary and will advocate on behalf of clients, but ultimate authority over premium refunds rests with the issuing insurance carrier.
