authorised by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) (directly or as an
appointed representative), to make group insurance policy recommendations or decisions to
members of the public, regardless of whether that authorised individual is an employee of a
financial adviser firm or not (the “User” ).
Registration of Users under CLASS will be controlled by individuals designated as “Local Administrators”
(the “Administrators”). Administrators are responsible for controlling User access to the
CLASS Portal in strict accordance with the user approval process set out within the CLASS Portal.
Administrators have full responsibility for all aspects of security including but not restricted to,
suspending use and disabling leavers.
Purpose of the CLASS Portal
The CLASS Portal is a secure portal facility provided by Canada Life in relation to
its products and connected product support services. The CLASS Portal may only be used by
Users for assistance with administering and documenting Canada Life group insurance policies
for clients of the User (the “Clients”).
The User remains entirely responsible for any advice or recommendations in relation to
Canada Life products for any Canada Life group insurance policy decisions made by or for the
Client. The information and transactional applications within the CLASS Portal are not
intended to and do not constitute financial or other professional advice in any way whatsoever.
If the information within the CLASS Portal and the use of the CLASS Portal relates to the
acquisition or possible acquisition of a particular Canada Life product, the User must be
familiar with the relevant documentation for that financial product before making any
recommendations, providing any advice or taking or refraining from taking any action as a
result of the use of the CLASS Portal.

The CLASS Portal Security
Where an identification code, password or any other piece of information as part of the CLASS Portal
security procedures is provided or chosen by the User, then it must at all times be treated as confidential and
must not be disclosed to any third party. Canada Life reserves the right to disable any identification code or password whether
chosen by the User or allocated by the CLASS Portal at any time if in
Canada Life’s opinion the User has failed to comply with any of the provisions of the Terms.
As an authorised User, you are responsible for all use made of the CLASS Portal under the identification details.
In addition, any client management system used as part of your system to facilitate access to the CLASS Portal must
maintain the identification details in a secure manner. As such you should take adequate precautions, ensuring that:
-
only you are able to access the CLASS Portal and you comply with all security procedures notified to you from
time to time;
-
all the identification details are kept in a secure place;
-
you do not disclose any or all of the identification details to any other person except as may be necessary and
on a need to know basis only to your system administrator (who may keep a secure record of the same);
-
you do not save the identification details on to your personal computer or write them down;
-
you do not leave your personal computer unsecured while you are connected to the CLASS Portal; and
-
you do not use the CLASS Portal from any computer connected to a local area network without first making sure that
no-one else will be able to observe or copy any of the identification details or gain access to the portal purporting to be you
and that you do not access the portal from an unsecured network.
Where in addition to the security provisions a Unipass certificate is used as part of the
security measures to access the CLASS Portal, the User will fully comply with the obligations and responsibilities
of the Unipass standards and protocols when accessing the CLASS Portal.
