We offer electronic transfer and Zelle® for claim payments. These services are built on Wells Fargo services. Wells Fargo is not responsible for any services or options offered by us. By choosing electronic transfer or Zelle® claim payment services, you disclaim any and all liability that Wells Fargo may have, and waive and release any and all actual or potential claims, actions, suits or proceedings (each a “Wells Fargo Claim”) you then or thereafter may have against Wells Fargo in connection with those claim payment services (regardless of the nature or basis of such Wells Fargo Claim or whether such Wells Fargo Claim is based on contract, tort or other theory or basis), and agree that you will not assert, prosecute or maintain any Wells Fargo Claim against Wells Fargo relating to those claim payment services.
Do Not Call Policy
Plymouth Rock Assurance respects the wishes of individuals who do not wish to receive marketing telephone calls (which for purposes of this policy include text messages). Plymouth Rock does not knowingly place marketing calls to numbers appearing on a state or federal Do Not Call list or to the number of a person who has requested not to receive telemarketing calls made by or on behalf of Plymouth Rock (unless permitted by applicable law or express written consent of the individual). All employees engaged in telephone solicitation are trained on the requirements of this Do Not Call Policy.
Consumers who request not to receive telemarketing calls from Plymouth Rock will be placed on the company’s Do Not Call list and will not be called during any future telemarketing campaign for any period required by applicable law. Any request to be placed on Plymouth Rock’s Do Not Call list will be processed within a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days (or any shorter period required by applicable law). If an individual’s telephone number changes, another request must be submitted to add the new number to Plymouth Rock’s internal Do Not Call list.
To be placed on Plymouth Rock’s internally maintained Do Not Call list, please send a request to [email protected] with your name and phone number.
Plymouth Rock reserves the right to revise this Do Not Call Policy.
