You’ll find terms, conditions and exclusions for the features included in your Breakdown Cover Pack on the following pages (please read them carefully so you’ll know what’s covered – and what’s not).

• Barclays Pack Terms and Conditions
• UK Roadside and At Home Breakdown Cover – Terms, conditions and exclusions
• About Our Insurance Services

In these terms and conditions:

• ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ refers to Barclays Bank UK PLC and Barclays Insurance Services Company Limited, unless stated.
• ‘Pack holder’ is the person who made the application to purchase the Pack.
• ‘Nominated person’ is the person nominated by the Pack holder, who lives at the same address.
• ‘UK resident’ means a person who spends at least 183 days a year within England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.

A Pack is a set of services (such as insurance) available to any eligible person aged 18+ for a monthly fee. You can only purchase a Pack and claim the benefits included in it if you are a UK resident.

Eligibility for Pack benefits

Before choosing a Pack, you should check that you are eligible for the benefits under each policy or feature. We will provide information and ask you questions to help you do this. For instance, you may not be eligible to claim for certain benefits because of your age or you have a pre-existing medical condition.

What you pay

You pay a monthly fee in advance for each Pack purchased, as set out in the ‘Statement of Price’ within the About Our Insurance Services section. The Pack fee includes Insurance Premium Tax at the current rate. The monthly fee is the cost of the Pack as a whole. No part of any Pack fee is attributable to any particular benefit or service in your Pack. You will not be entitled to a refund or reduction in the Pack fee if you choose not to use a benefit or service, you’re not eligible for a benefit or service, or it’s not otherwise available to you. You must have a Pack for a minimum term of six months from the date you purchase the Pack (unless we say otherwise in these terms) after which you can close the Pack at any time.

You may be able to add additional features to the services included in a Pack and we’ll tell you what these cost before you choose to add them.

By agreeing to these terms and conditions you provide Barclays authority to:

(i) debit a part payment of the monthly Pack fee to cover the period from the date on which you purchase the Pack, up to the last day of that month; and thereafter
(ii) debit the monthly Pack fee.
(iii) apply a change in the monthly Pack fee subject to the appropriate notice period

All payments will be taken in advance from your Barclays current account on the first working day of the month on an ongoing basis until your Pack is cancelled. You must ensure you have sufficient credit funds in your Barclays current account to cover the monthly Pack fee, otherwise you may incur borrowing charges in line with any arrangement you have with us.

Duration and Minimum Term

Unless you cancel within the 14-day cooling off period, you must hold this Pack for a minimum term of six months from it being opened, after which the Pack will automatically renew on a monthly basis and after which you can cancel the Pack at any time. There are some exceptions to this. For more information please refer to the Minimum Term below.

To cancel, contact us on 0345 7 345 345, visit your nearest Barclays Branch or tell us by writing to Barclays, Leicester LE87 2BB.

Keeping each other informed

We need you to tell us about changes to your situation or personal details, and we’ll keep you informed about certain things that affect you. Information will only be sent to you, the Pack holder.

How we contact you

We’ll contact you, the Pack holder, using the details you have given to us. This may include using your landline phone, mobile, email or home address. If you have a Barclays current account, we may also contact you through Online Banking or the Barclays app if you use these.

You can tell us how you want us to contact you, for example by post or your available digital channel. Where we can, we’ll contact you using your preferred method. We may not always be able to do this – for example, sometimes the law may require us to send you something by post. If we send information to you at the most recent postal address you have given us and it’s returned to us as undelivered, we’ll stop using that address unless we are required by law or regulation to send you information.

If you have not told us how you’d prefer us to communicate, then we’ll normally contact you by email. If we send you information through Barclays Online Banking, we’ll text you or send you an email or other electronic message reminding you to view any new message we’ve posted. Where we do this, we won’t normally send documents to your home address as well (unless we have to or you have asked us to).

Once we’ve sent a message to you, we’ll assume you have received it. So it’s important to look out for notifications like emails or texts from us.

We are always working to make our services more convenient and flexible so we may introduce new ways of communicating with you in the future.

Help us to keep your information private

It’s your responsibility to control who reads your information. When you choose how you would like us to contact you, you should choose a method that will be most secure for you. If you use a method that other people can access or read (such as a shared email address or shared mobile number), please be aware that these people will also be able to access the information we send you.

Keeping your details up to date

When we send information to you, we’ll send it to the most recent contact details we have for you. If these details change and you don’t tell us straight away, you may not receive information that could be important – or it could fall into the wrong hands. If you have given us contact details (even if you think we don’t use some of them, such as your mobile phone number), you must let us know if they change. This will include your:

• home address
• email address
• landline phone number
• mobile phone number.

It’s very important that you also keep us informed if there are any changes to your situation, personal details or any other important changes that are relevant to us – for example, if you:

• change your name
• move to another country and are no longer a UK resident.

If you don’t keep all your details up to date, this might affect your eligibility for Pack(s), or how they work. This is also so we can continue to manage your Pack(s), and communicate with you including notifying you of changes. We also respect your privacy and we don’t want to send you unwanted information.

If you wish to change the Nominated Person named on the Pack(s) we’ll close your Pack(s) to do this before opening a new Pack(s). The minimum term will re-start upon the purchase of a new Pack(s).

Contacting us

You can always contact us through your available digital channel, or other electronic methods we tell you about. You can also contact us by telephone using the details we give you, by visiting a branch or by post. We’ll let you know if our details change.

You can contact us by any of the following methods:

• Log into the Barclays app and select the ‘call us’ feature
• By telephone on 0800 158 3199
• Visit your local branch
• In writing to Barclays, Leicester LE87 2BB.

Closing your Pack

Whilst we’d be very sorry to lose you, you can close your Pack within the 14-day cooling-off period, which starts the day your Pack is purchased or you receive your Welcome Pack, whichever is later. If you close your Pack within this period and have paid your first monthly Pack fee, it will be refunded. You can also cancel or close your Pack at any time after the minimum term explained below has ended. If we need to close your Pack, we’ll follow the process set out below.

Minimum Term

You must have a Pack for a minimum term of six months from the date you open the Pack, after which the Pack will automatically renew on a monthly basis and after which you can close the Pack at any time. There are some exceptions to this minimum term requirement. You may close your Pack:

• within the 14-day cooling-off period as set out above
• if you experience financial hardship due to a significant change in personal circumstances, for example, you’re declared bankrupt
• if you’re no longer resident in the UK
• after we have notified you of an unfavourable change to the terms of the Pack you hold, such as an increase in price or a change in what the Pack provides (provided that you do so before the change takes effect)

If you tell us you want to close your Pack, closure will take effect on the day that we receive notice from you (so the insurance and your right to receive any of the other services within the Pack will end on the date we receive your notice). You will receive a part refund for the remaining number of days in that month, including the day we receive your notice. You won’t be able to use any benefits or services linked to it any more although you can still make a claim for an event which occurred whilst you were insured.

We will not let you re-select the same Pack for 12 months if you cancel it within the minimum term, or your Barclays current account is closed by Barclays Financial Assistance or if you do not comply with these terms and conditions.

You are unable to cancel individual insurance Pack products, only the whole Pack.

You can cancel your Pack within the Barclays app, Online Banking, by calling us, visiting a branch or by writing to Barclays, Leicester LE87 2BB.

When we can close a Pack

We can close a Pack by giving you at least 30 calendar days’ notice. This also applies during the minimum term. However, we may close your Pack immediately or on less notice if we reasonably believe you have seriously or persistently broken any terms of the agreement or we reasonably believe any of the following applies:

• you put us in a position where we might break a law, regulation, code or other duty that applies to us if we maintain your Pack
• you give us any false or inaccurate information at any time
• you commit (or attempt) fraud against us or someone else
• you behave in a threatening or abusive manner to our staff
• you become bankrupt
• your Barclays current account is closed by Barclays Financial Assistance

The insurer may also cancel the insurance policies within Breakdown Cover Pack as set out in the terms and conditions of the policy document.

Using the Current Account Switch Service

If you decide to switch your current account from us by using the Current Account Switch Service, your Pack will be closed on the same day that your Current Account is closed.

Changes we can make to this agreement

Sometimes we’ll want or need to change things, such as charges or terms of our agreement. For most changes, we’ll tell you in advance, but we don’t always need to do this.

We review the Packs from time to time and may make changes to them, including the benefits and services included in a Pack or the providers of these or the monthly Pack fee. We may also make changes to the terms on which each benefit is provided (such as changes to the terms of an individual policy). We’ll give you 30 calendar days’ notice before any changes apply.

If we make changes to a Pack, we will provide information about you to any new provider to make sure there is no interruption in the benefit or service you receive. The new provider will use your information to provide you with the benefits and services.

Changes we need to tell you about in advance

We may make changes to your agreement with us because:

• we’re changing a service we already offer, or introducing a new service that needs a change to the terms of this agreement, such as introducing a new charge
• we’re changing the agreement to be in line with the banking industry and our competitors
• we’re withdrawing a service or type of Pack
• we’re moving you from one type of Pack to another for a good reason – examples of this include where we’re withdrawing a Pack
• we need to make changes to take account of developments (or changes we reasonably expect to help) in technology (including the systems we use to run our business), or in the banking system generally
• our agreement or the Pack is affected by a change in the law or regulation (including industry codes we follow) or decisions of the Financial Ombudsman, a regulator or court
• changes in our costs (including changes we reasonably expect to happen) mean we need to change or introduce charges.

Because you may have your Pack with us for many years, we need the flexibility to manage our business long term, including providing a sufficient financial return for us to operate our business in a prudent and sustainable manner. We can’t predict everything that may affect our business, so there may be other reasons we have not set out above when we need to make a change. But please be assured we’ll only make changes we think are fair and will give you 30 calendar days’ notice of the change unless we are prevented from doing so by law or regulation, or the change is in your favour.

If we give you notice as set out above and you don’t tell us you want to close your Pack, then we’ll treat you as having accepted the change. If you don’t want to accept the change and want to end this agreement and close the Pack, you must tell us before the proposed change applies.

Changes we don’t need to tell you about in advance

We don’t have to tell you about changes to these terms and conditions (or changes in the insurer terms and conditions) in advance when any of the following happen:

• if the change is in your favour
• we make a change because a change in law or regulation says that we have to by a particular date, and there isn’t time to give you notice.

Instructions for your Pack(s)

We will only accept instructions from the Pack holder about the Pack (including to change your contact preferences and to apply for new Packs, products and services).

Your Nominated Person will be able to make a claim for the Pack benefits or services. They cannot provide any other instructions in relation to the Pack.

If you think your security has been compromised

If you think someone (except someone you have asked to provide Pack information) has used or is able to use any of the means of access to your Pack, you must tell us as soon as you can by using the contact details shown in the ‘Unauthorised access to your Pack?’ section.

If you have a Barclays current account, we can arrange to temporarily suspend access to a service (such as Telephone Banking) to prevent anyone misusing your Pack(s).

You must give us any information we ask for about what has happened. We’ll pass this to the police if we have to, or if we think that will be useful.

Complaints and the protection you have

If you have a complaint

We want to hear if you feel unhappy with the level of service you have received from us. If this relates to your claim, we recommend you contact the insurer to avoid any delay. Details of how to contact the insurer are set out in your policy documents.

Your feedback gives us the opportunity to put matters right and improve our service to all our customers. A leaflet detailing how we deal with complaints is available on request in our branches, from the Barclays Information Line on 03457 345 345* or at barclays.co.uk.

You can contact us to complain by any of the following methods:

• Log in with your Online Banking details and select ‘contact us’ from the top menu
• Log into the Barclays app and select the ‘call us’ feature
• By telephone on 0800 282 390
• In writing to Freepost Barclays Customer Relations.

If we do not resolve your complaint internally to your satisfaction, you may be able to refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS):

• In writing to Exchange Tower, London E14 9SR
• Online on financial-ombudsman.org.uk
• By email to complaint.info@financialombudsman.org.uk
• By telephone on 0800 023 4567.

The FOS is an organisation set up by law to give consumers a free and independent service for resolving disputes with financial firms. You can get details of those who are eligible complainants from the FOS.

Nothing in these terms, including referral to the Financial Ombudsman Service, affects your statutory rights.

Using information about you

Barclays is committed to protecting your personal data. We will use your information for a number of different purposes, for example, to manage your Pack(s), to provide our products and services to you and others and to meet our legal and regulatory obligations.

Credit reference agencies and fraud prevention agencies

In order to process your application, we will supply your personal information to credit reference agencies and fraud prevention agencies and they will give us information about you, such as about your financial history. We do this to assess creditworthiness and product suitability, check your identity, manage your account, trace and record debts and prevent criminal activity. These agencies may in turn share your personal information with other organisations. If fraud is detected, you could be refused certain services, finance or employment.

Once you open a Pack with us, we will share pack data with the credit reference agencies on an ongoing basis.

If false or inaccurate information is provided to us and fraud is identified, details may be passed to credit reference and fraud prevention agencies to prevent fraud and money laundering and to verify your identity.

• transunion.co.uk/crain
• equifax.co.uk/crain
• experian.co.uk/crain

Assistance in a medical emergency

If you suddenly or unexpectedly fall ill or are injured, during a journey in the UK and no one within your party can drive the vehicle, we may be able to provide you assistance, such as taking your vehicle to a place of safety. This service is discretionary, and we will decide whether or not to provide this service. We will require written confirmation from the treating hospital or medical expert that you are unable to drive.

Additional services

If your vehicle cannot be driven for any reason other than a breakdown or road traffic collision, for example if you have a driver-induced fault, we will send help to the vehicle. If we cannot get you going again, we will recover the vehicle and passengers up to 10 miles. Any equipment or specialist resource required by us to repair or arrange the recovery of the vehicle will be chargeable.

We can also provide additional services that are not included in your policy but we will charge you for these, for example to:

1. Purchase the parts you need to get on your way;
2. Pay for specialist resource to complete the repairs; or
3. Arrange a second or extended recovery.

We will agree these costs up front and will need full payment before we can help. You will be responsible for any additional charges. This is why we request proof of identity at the breakdown.

General conditions

These apply to all sections of this policy. If you do not meet them we can refuse cover, cancel your policy, or both.

1. Where the breakdown is caused by a component failure this must stop the vehicle working. Faulty air-conditioning or the illumination of a warning light for example would not, on its own, be a breakdown.
2. We will not cover any claim where the vehicle is already at a place of repair.
3. We will not provide cover if we deem, acting reasonably, that you requested service to avoid the cost of repairs or to correct a repair by someone else.
4. You (and a driver if you were not driving) must be with the vehicle at the time of the breakdown and when we attend.
5. We are not liable for any loss or damage to the contents of the vehicle, such as personal items.

9. Any child who needs a car seat by law must have one. It must be properly fitted.
10. If we repair your vehicle, we are responsible for that repair only. It remains your responsibility to make sure your vehicle is legal and roadworthy.
11. We are not responsible for work done at any garage, whether an approved garage or not. The contract for repairs is between you and the garage.
12. We will not be responsible for any losses that you incur following a breakdown that are not expressly covered by this policy. For example, we will not pay for any loss of earnings or missed appointments.
13. If we take your vehicle to a garage, we can’t guarantee it will be open, that they will be able to repair your vehicle or that repairs can start straight away.
14. Our services may be limited during extreme weather, riots, war and civil unrest. We will resume our service as soon as we can.
15. This policy does not cover:
    a. tolls, ferries, congestion or low emission zone charges.

    e. recovery not arranged by us.
    f. routine servicing, maintenance or assembly of your vehicle;
    g. breakdowns that occur during activities or events that are not subject to the normal rules of the road, for example, breakdowns on a track day. We will not attend breakdowns on race tracks or where you have been immediately recovered from a race track.
    h. Vehicle storage charges. If your vehicle is being stored, you will be contacted at your last known address with details of how to arrange collection and any fees which may be payable. In extreme instances, where the vehicle has not been collected and fees not paid, the vehicle may be disposed of and any outstanding fees will be deducted. You will be notified, in accordance with legislation, prior to this happening.
    i. your vehicle if it is not legally taxed, insured and holding a valid MOT which is required by law or is not being used in line with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
    j. breakdowns where we have no right of access, or recovery to such places.
    k. any claim that is or may be affected by the influence of alcohol or drugs.
    l. vehicles that we consider, acting reasonably, are not in a roadworthy condition, unless you can demonstrate otherwise.
    m. any breakdown that is caused by or as a result of vehicle theft or fire.
16. If the emergency services, local authority or any government agency are handling the breakdown, we will only attend and provide recovery once instructed to do so by them. We will not cover their costs.
17. When we attend a breakdown, we may ask you to review a document or electronic form that records the condition of your vehicle. Please make sure this is accurate as we are not responsible for any errors or omissions.

Advice or information

We can only offer Car Breakdown Cover from RAC Motoring Services (the Insurer), and we act on behalf of the insurer.

The features and terms and conditions of the benefits within the Breakdown Cover Pack may not be the same as those for similar products available with Barclays.

The Breakdown Cover Pack is provided on a non-advised basis. As such, we will only provide information on the Breakdown Cover Pack and we will not make a personal recommendation about the suitability of this Breakdown Cover Pack.

Compensation Scheme

We are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). You may be entitled to compensation from the FSCS if we cannot meet our obligations in relation to arranging the insurance cover in the Pack, depending on the type of business and the circumstances of the claim. Insurance arranging is covered for 90% of the compensation claim, without any upper limit. You can obtain more information about the compensation scheme arrangements by contacting the FSCS on 0207 741 1400 or 0800 678 1100* or by visiting their website at fscs.org.uk.

Change of insurer

From time to time for commercial reasons we may decide to change the chosen insurer(s). If we do, we will write to you at least 30 days before we make any change, giving you details of the new insurer and any variations to the terms and conditions of cover.

Your cancellation rights are not affected.

Statement of price

The monthly cost of your Breakdown Cover Pack is £9.00 payable in advance on the first working day of each month. This means that the fee payable for the minimum term of Breakdown Cover Pack is £54.00. This fee will include Insurance Premium Tax at the current rate, and there are no further taxes or costs unless otherwise stated.

The first monthly Breakdown Cover Pack fee is part payment for the rest of the month in which the Breakdown Cover Pack is purchased.

We hold the insurance premium you pay to us, and any premium refunds payable to you, in respect of the insurance products included in the Breakdown Cover Pack as agent of RAC Motoring Services, which means your insurance product is treated as being paid for when the Breakdown Cover Pack fee is collected by us.

Governing Law

This Pack is governed by English law. Unless otherwise agreed the contractual terms of this Pack, all prior information and all communications will be in English.

Disclosure (in relation to insurance cover provided as part of the Barclays Pack(s) range)

You are responsible for providing complete and accurate information to insurers when you take out your insurance policy, and throughout the life of your policy. It is important that you ensure that all statements you make on claim forms and other documents are full and accurate. If you provide false or inaccurate information to us or your insurers, this could invalidate your insurance cover and could mean that part or all of the claim may not be paid.
