Under WTW’s North American Corporate Risk & Broking terms, an insurer quote is an offer, not confirmation of coverage, and may change or be withdrawn before the client orders binding.

Commercial placements governed by WTW’s North American Corporate Risk & Broking terms, June 1, 2025, p. 4.

WTW’s North American terms say it reviews binders, policies and endorsements against negotiated specifications and client instructions and advises on errors or recommended changes.

This describes a stated document-review process and the client’s separate essential review duty; it is not a guarantee all errors will be detected or corrected.
