Marine Commercial Hull Insurance PolicyYour duty of disclosure

Before You enter into a contract of general insurance with an insurer, You have a duty, under both the Marine Insurance Act 1909 and the Insurance Contracts Act 1984, to disclose to Us every matter that You know or could reasonably be expected to know which is relevant to Our decision to accept the risk of the insurance and on what terms. You have the same duty of disclosure before You renew, vary, extend or reinstate a contract of general insurance.

Your duty does not require You to disclose a matter:

• That diminishes the risk to be accepted by Us

• That is of common knowledge

• That We know, or in the ordinary course of business, should know; and

• In relation to which compliance with Your duty is waived by the insurer.

If You fail to comply with Your duty of disclosure:

Where the Marine Insurance Act 1909 applies, We may avoid the contract from inception.

Where the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 applies We may be entitled to reduce Our liability under the contract in respect of a claim, or, in certain circumstances, We may cancel the Policy or declare it never existed because it was not properly entered into. If Your non-disclosure was fraudulent, We may also have the option of avoiding the contract from the beginning.

Non-disclosure

If You fail to comply with Your duty of disclosure, the insurer may be entitled to reduce its liability under the contract in respect of a claim or may cancel the contract.

If Your non-disclosure is fraudulent, the insurer may also have the option of avoiding the contract from its beginning.

Our agreement

We agree to provide You with the insurance as described in this Policy including the Policy Schedule, for the Period of Insurance shown in the Schedule and for any subsequent period where renewal may be agreed, and in return You agree to pay Us the premium by the dates advised to You.

Should there be any change in circumstances or any change in the nature of the risks which are the basis of the contract, You must advise Us immediately and in writing. If You fail to comply, no claim arising after the change will be payable, unless We have agreed otherwise.
