                The client is aware of the fact and accepts that, within the framework of its activities as a broker, or on the occasion of the completion of orders, SPIGE receives or could receive reimbursement (e.g. commission, broker\u2019s fee, etc.) from third parties, in particular from insurance companies.

Should the client determine errors in an insurance policy, SPI GEis to be notified immediately.<\/p>\n
