Material facts include all circumstances which would influence the judgment of an Insurer in determining whether to provide the cover requested or not, and in fixing the premium and other terms. Intentionally withholding material facts that would affect the Insurer’s decision regarding a risk, makes the contract null and void.

An insurance cover can be taken only where there is a legally recognised relationship between the policyholder and the subject matter of insurance. In different circumstances, this may be the owner, mortgagee, mortgagor, lessor, lessee, user, occupier, etc. In general insurance business, the subject matter of insurance may be any property, potential legal liability or person insured under a policy.

Terms to Know

Insurance: Insurance is a contract between an individual/organization and an insurance company which provides financial protection against certain unfortunate events, in consideration of a payment (i.e. premium), as agreed beforehand. It’s a risk transfer mechanism which provides peace of mind to the Insured.

Insured: The person(s) or parties who are covered by an insurance policy.

Insurer: The company who issues the Insurance Policy to the customer

Proposal Form: The document which captures all material facts relating to the Insured and the subject matter of insurance (property/person/liability).

Policy Book: A booklet which consists of all General Terms in relation to a particular Insurance Product.

Policy Schedule / Certificate of Insurance: A document which stipulates the specific details of the Insured and any specific terms related to the contract.

Insurance Policy:

    The documents consisting of,

  • Proposal Form
  • Policy Book
  • Policy Schedule / Certificate of Insurance and
  • Any endorsement

 

Premium: The amount of money which the Insured should pay to the insurance company for his/her Insurance Policy.

Excess / Deductible: The amount indicated in the Policy Schedule which the Insured has to pay for any one incident resulting in a claim.

Renewal: General insurance policies are usually issued for a period of one year. At the end of this period, if the Insured wishes to continue the cover, the Insurer will “Renew” the policy for a further period of one year and will charge the relevant premium from the Insured.

Endorsement: A document issued to effect any mid-term changes to an Insurance Policy.

Sum Insured: In polices having a sum insured (value declared for insurance), the insured cannot recover more than the sum insured even where the indemnity is a higher figure. This often happens where the policies have not been updated over several years.

Average: At the time of a loss, if the actual value of the property insured is found to be greater than the value declared for insurance, by virtue of the fact that the insurer has received premium only for a portion of the risk, settlement will be made using the following formula:

Sum Insured                            X   Loss
____________________________________________
Actual Value of the Property

Cover Note: Cover Note is a document issued by an insurer providing Interim Cover pending certain information required to issue the Insurance Policy.
