Insurance coverage is underwritten by a Canadian licensed insurance company and issued through UPS Capital Canada Insurance Brokers – an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of UPS Capital Corporation (“UPS Capital”). The insurance company and UPS Capital Insurance Brokers reserve the right to change or cancel the program at any time.

Insurance coverage is governed by the terms and conditions, including the limitations and exclusions, set forth in the applicable insurance policy (the “Policy”). This information does not in any way alter or amend the terms or conditions, including the limitations or exclusions, of the Policy, and is intended only as a brief summary. Insurance coverage is not available in all jurisdictions. UPS Capital Insurance Brokers only issues policies of a single insurer in Canada, and receives commission on sales of insurance. An affiliate of UPS Capital Insurance Brokers reinsures a material portion of the risk insured by this insurance policy and the UPS Capital group therefore has a financial interest in the insurance program. You are not required to purchase insurance from UPS Capital Insurance Brokers and have the right to seek insurance elsewhere. In particular, your ability to ship using United Parcel Service Canada Corporation or its affiliates is not conditional on your purchase of insurance from UPS Capital Insurance Brokers.
