This insurance is written on a “claims made and notified” basis. This means that the insurer indemnifies you for Claims (as defined) that are made against you during the period of insurance and notified to the Insurer during the period of insurance. The policy does not provide cover for any claims made against you during the period of insurance if at any time prior to commencement to the period of insurance you became aware of facts which might give rise to those Claims being made against you.

Section 40(3) of the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 provides that where you gave notice in writing to the insurer of any facts that might give rise to a Claim against you as soon as reasonably practical after you become aware of those facts, but before the expiry of the period of insurance, the insurer cannot refuse to pay a Claim which arises out of those facts, when made, because it was made after the period of insurance had expired.

directly or indirectly based upon, or attributable to , or in consequence of, any incident, occurrence, fact or matter which you knew or ought or should have reasonably known, had the potential to give rise to a claim under the Policy; or

directly or indirectly based upon, or attributable to, or in consequence of any fact, matter, circumstance or occurrence which has been notified under any other insurance attaching prior to the inception date of the Policy.

The proposed insurance may be limited by a retroactive date. If so, the policy will not cover any claims or circumstances arising from any events, omissions or conduct prior to such retroactive date.

Where you have prejudiced the insurers rights to recover a loss from another party, this may have the effect of excluding or limiting the insurers liability in respect of that loss.

You should advise the insurer(s) as soon as practicable of any material change in your business activities (as disclosed in the Proposal Form).

New privacy legislation took effect on 21st December 2001. The legislation regulates the way private sector organizations can collect, use, keep, secure and disclose personal information. We have developed a privacy policy that explains what sort or personal information we hold about you and what we do with that information.
