Your Duty of Disclosure - What you must tell us

Under the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 (the Act), you have a Duty of Disclosure. You are required before you enter into, renew, vary, extend or reinstate your Policy, to tell us everything you know and that a reasonable person in the circumstances could be expected to know, is a matter that is relevant to our decision whether to insure you, and anyone else to be insured under the Policy, and if so, on what terms.

You do not have to tell us about any matter
- that diminishes the risk
- that is of common knowledge
- that we know or should know in the ordinary course of our business as an insurer, or
- which we indicate we do not want to know.
If you do not comply with your Duty of Disclosure your insurer may reduce or refuse to pay a claim or cancel your Policy.

If your non-disclosure is fraudulent your insurer may treat this Policy as never having operated.

Under-insurance

Industrial Special Risks property insurance is written on a “Reinstatement/Replacement” basis which means replacing the property destroyed or restoring the damage with new materials without any deduction for depreciation or volunteer labour.

The following is an example illustrating the under-insurance clause.
- Full replacement value $2,000,000
- Declared Value to insurer $1,000,000
According to these declared values, the insured is in effect self-insuring for 50% of the property’s full value. Therefore in the event of claim:
- Actual amount of damage $200,000
- Amount insurer would pay $100,000
Roughly 50% of the total damage would be payable by the insurers due to the under-insurance of the property.

The calculation of “full value” for the purposes and application of the under-insurance clause may change from one policy to another. These variables must be taken into account when calculating the “full value” of your property. Please review these with your Adviser if you have any doubts

Waiver of Liability Agreements
Where another person would be liable to compensate you for any loss or damage otherwise covered by the policy, but you have agreed with that person either before or after the loss or damage occurred that you would not seek to recover any monies from that person, the insurer will not cover you under the policy for any such loss or damage.
