Terms of Use
Effective August 14, 2026
Using this site
By using bernauerinsurance.com you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site. We may update these terms from time to time; the effective date above tells you when they were last revised.
This site is information, not an insurance policy
Everything on this website is general information about insurance. It is not an offer of coverage, not a contract, and not advice about your specific situation. Insurance products vary by state, by carrier, and by applicant.
Nothing on this site binds coverage. No coverage exists until a carrier has issued it and confirmed it in writing.
Quotes are estimates
Any quote we give you — through this site, by phone, or in person — is an estimate based on the information available at the time. Final rates and eligibility are set by the insurance carrier after underwriting, and they can differ from an initial quote.
Coverage descriptions on this site are summaries. The actual terms, conditions, exclusions, and limits of any policy are governed entirely by the policy document the carrier issues. If this website and your policy ever disagree, your policy is what counts.
Submitting a form does not put coverage in place
Filling out a quote request, a contact form, or a claim report on this site starts a conversation with us. It does not apply for coverage, change an existing policy, cancel a policy, or file a claim with your carrier.
If you need something to happen by a specific date, or the matter is urgent, call us rather than relying on a form. Pat is at 952-457-5894 and Spencer is at 952-956-2502.
Accurate information matters
Insurance depends on the accuracy of what you tell us. Incomplete or incorrect information on an application can change your rate, and in some circumstances can give a carrier grounds to deny a claim or rescind a policy. Please tell us the whole picture, including the parts you think might count against you — it is almost always better handled up front.
Licensing
Bernauer Insurance Agency is a licensed independent insurance agency. We can only transact insurance business in states where we and the relevant carrier are properly licensed. Our practice is centered in Minnesota.
Links to other sites
This site links to third parties such as MNsure and insurance carriers. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, their accuracy, or how they handle your information. A link is not an endorsement of everything on the other end of it.
Our content
The text, layout, graphics, and logo on this site belong to Bernauer Insurance Agency. Please do not reproduce them for commercial purposes without our permission.
No warranties
We work to keep this site accurate and available, but we provide it "as is." We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that every piece of information on it is current — insurance rules and products change constantly, and pages can lag behind.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Bernauer Insurance Agency is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this website. Nothing in these terms limits any obligation we owe you under a policy we have actually placed for you, or under Minnesota insurance law.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to its conflict of law rules.
