General standardsICOBS rules reflect principles-focused & risk-based approach from FCA.Rules distinguish between consumers & commercial customers (who get less protection). Also vary according to sales with and without advice. Rules apply to renewals & new bus.Intermediary must supply initial disclosure doc (IDD) & Terms of Business (ToB) before offering advice & detailing services offered & authorisation status.Intermediary must then obtain details of client's circumstances & needs, inc. extg policies, & give client a statement of needs together with reasons for recommendations (demands & needs statement).For non-advised sales, intermediary must gather sufficient info to ensure client is eligible to claim benefit & brief demands & need statement must be supplied.Recommendations must be suitable & duty of disclosure of material facts & its importance must be explained.

Usually sent within 14 days after conclusion of contract, electronically or by post.No cancellation rights for travel or similar short-term policies lasting less than 1 month, or policies where performance has already been completed.Renewal terms must be given in 'good time' - usually 21 days.

Clients must be given guidance on claims procedure, claims must be handled fairly & promptly. Insurer must not reasonably reject a claim. Cannot refuse claim on non-disclosure where client could not reasonably be expected to have known, except in cases of fraud.
