Endorsements and Warrantees

The following endorsements and warrantees apply

BURGLAR ALARM CLAUSE

If you have taken advantage of the burglar alarm discount on the basis that your alarm meets EN50131/ IS199 standard, you must be able to provide the certification we need if you make a claim. The alarm must also be regularly serviced. Loss or damage by stealing is not included unless the alarm is set and working when your home is empty.

ROOF MAINTENANCE WARRANTY (Flat Roof Warranty)

It is a condition precedent to liability in respect of damage by Storm or Flood that any flat felted roof portion of the property must be inspected at least once every two years by a qualified builder or property surveyor and any defect brought to light by that inspection shall be rectified immediately.

Your Duty of Disclosure

In addition to providing all basic information of your insurance risk, you must ensure that you are complying with your legal duty of disclosure of all material matters relating to the risk. In particular, you must satisfy yourself as to the accuracy and completeness of the information you have provided to us. In this respect you must provide all information relating to the risk, whether favourable or not, which would influence the judgment of a prudent insurer in determining whether he will take the risk and if so, for what premium and on what terms. If you are in any doubt as to whether a fact is material or not you should disclose it. Failure to disclose all such information could result in the following:

• the policy may be cancelled or deemed null and void;
• claims may not be paid;
• you may encounter difficulty in trying to purchase insurance elsewhere; and,
• in the case of property insurance the failure to have insurance in place could lead to a breach of the terms and conditions attaching to any loan secured on that property.

Please read the Eligibility Conditions on the previous page. If the risk does not comply with one or more of the conditions, you must contact us even if you have previously declared same to us.

You must advise us if there have been any changes which affect this insurance.
For example:
- if the property is no longer your primary residence;
- if the property is left empty for more than 30 days in a row; or
- if the property is now used as a rental property.
