Understanding Your Cover

What does it mean when a product is open or closed?

Some of our products are new and available to the public to purchase. These are called open products. Some of our other products are closed to the public for sale, as they are old products which we no longer sell. These are called closed products.

Below you will find a copy of all our Cover Guides, which our members may need to access. Reviewing your cover is easy. Please call our team to re-assess your needs against our available covers.
