In short referred to as AAI’s "Online Terms”.
Read these Online Terms to understand how AAI operates and regulates its online sites.
1. About AAI’s online sites
1.1 Australian Alliance Insurance Company Limited (ABN 11 006 471 709) (“AAI”, “we” or “us”) operates AAI online sites (“Online Site(s)”), including our:
1.1.1 main website (www.aai.com.au including its related transactional domains and pages) (“Main Site”).
When providing financial services in Australia AAI acts as the issuer of property (including motor vehicle) insurance products for its authorised representatives Australian Pensioners Insurance Agency Pty Ltd ABN 14 099 650 996 ("Apia"), Shannons Limited ABN 91 099 692 636 ("Shannons") and InsureMyRide Pty Limited ABN 75 121 676 293 ("IMR"), and holds Australian Financial Services Licence no. 235011. AAI does not issue any Compulsory Third Party ("CTP") insurance product. Please refer to the website of the authorised representative you are interested in to find more information about the products and services they provide.
1.2 AAI may operate an Online Site for its own benefit and/or for the benefit of one or more of its related bodies corporate, which collectively form the Suncorp Group of companies in Australia and New Zealand (“Suncorp Group”).
1.3 Our Online Site (including any sub-pages, related transactional domains and pages, or other AAI-branded online pages which include an authorised link to an Online Site) may include product advertising, services, information, text, graphics, materials, applications, functions and promotions, unless disclaimed otherwise or where not permitted by law (“Site Content”). Your use of any of our Online Sites, including any Site Content, is governed by these Online Terms, together with the Suncorp Group’s overarching Privacy Policy (Privacy Policy available at suncorp.com.au/corporate/legal/privacy-policy). Click here to read AAI's Privacy Statement for this Main Site.
1.4 In addition to these Online Terms, other terms of use or conditions may apply to your use of any of our Online Sites (or parts thereof) or to any products or services offered via our Online Sites. If such additional terms of use or conditions apply, we will bring them to your attention and you will be bound by them. For example, should you decide to participate in a promotion that is advertised or otherwise featured on one or more of our Online Sites, you will be additionally bound by the relevant terms and conditions for entry into that promotion. Should any term within these Online Terms conflict with a promotion’s terms and conditions, the latter will prevail to the extent of the conflict.
1.5 AAI owns and operates the Main Site. These Online Sites include all web pages under or forming part of the domain name aai.com.au.
1.6 As part your use of our Online Sites or Site Content you may need to agree to the terms of use of a website or application that is owned and/or hosted by one or more third party providers. If any term within these Online Terms should conflict with any third party’s terms of use, the later will prevail to the extent of the conflict insofar as your use or access to that third party site is concerned.
1.7 As AAI’s Online Sites develop and as technology evolves, AAI will continue to strive to provide you with better online services. AAI encourages you to review these Online Terms as they will be updated from time to time.
2. Links to other websites
2.1 An Online Site may contain links to other websites which are owned or operated by third parties independent of AAI (“Third Party Sites”). AAI does not sponsor, endorse or approve of the operators of Third Party Sites, or material (including services, information, graphics, or data) which is located on such Third Party Sites (“Third Party Material”).
2.2 An Online Site may contain or link to information about special offers, deals or promotions by persons not related to or part of AAI (“Third Party Offers”). AAI does not sponsor, endorse or approve of any Third Party Offers or Third Party Material associated with these offers.
2.3 Subject to any applicable law which cannot be excluded, AAI makes no warranties or representations:
2.3.1 regarding the quality, accuracy, merchantability or fitness for purpose of Third Party Material, or products or services available through Third Party Sites; or
2.3.2 that Third Party Material does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any person.
2.4 AAI is not authorising the reproduction of Third Party Material by linking Site Content to Third Party Material.
2.5 When following a link on an Online Site, material at a Third Party Site may be displayed in your browser framed by Site Content. This material is also Third Party Material for the purpose of these Online Terms.

3.1 Our Online Sites may contain or make available various tools, calculation devices, software programs, games or other features which may assist you in calculating such things as the optimal insurance policy, premium or level of excess. Our Online Sites may also contain other useful information.
