Where the appointed representative is a retailer of goods, including motor vehicles, or a travel agent selling insurance policies or helping customers make a claim under the policy and the insurance services provided are complementary to the main activity conducted by the appointed representative, an exemption from the requirements of Paragraph GR-9.1.5B may be sought by the licensed principal. A request for such exemption must be submitted in writing to the Director, Insurance Supervision outlining what alternative training has been provided to the appointed representative to ensure that potential policyholders are treated in a fair and equitable manner and that the provision of insurance coverage complies with all the requirements outlined in Module BC, and in particular with Chapter BC-2, The Insurance Code of Practice.
