IMPORTANT NOTICES
For your protection under legislation, we are required to inform you of your duty of disclosure and draw your attention to the following
important information.
DUTY OF DISCLOSURE
The Insurance Contracts Act 1984 requires insurance companies to provide certain information to people intending to insure with them. The
information concerns the duty of disclosure of an intending Insured and the effect of particular types of clauses in a proposed insurance policy.
Where an Insurance Broker is involved in the transaction, the information is to be provided by the broker. The Insurance (Agents and Brokers)
Act 1984 also requires us to inform you about some other matters where they are relevant to particular policies.

WHAT INFORMATION DOES AN INSURANCE COMPANY/BROKER HAVE TO GIVE YOU?
In general terms, the kind of information which an insurance company/broker must give you is as follows:

YOUR DUTY OF DISCLOSURE – CONTRACTS OF GENERAL INSURANCE SUBJECT TO INSURANCE CONTRACTS ACT
Before you enter into a contract of general insurance with an Insurer, you have a duty, under the Insurance Contracts Act 1984, to
disclose to the Insurer every matter that you know, or could reasonably be expected to know, that is relevant to the Insurer's decision whether to
accept the risk of the insurance, and if so on what terms.
You have the same duty to disclose those matters to the Insurer before you renew, extend, vary or reinstate a contract of general insurance.
Your duty, however, does not require disclosure of matter:

that diminishes the risk to be undertaken by the Insurer, that is of common knowledge, that your Insurer knows or, in the ordinary course of his business, ought to know, as to which compliance with your duty is waived by the Insurer.
NON-DISCLOSURE
If you fail to comply with your duty of disclosure, the Insurer may be entitled to reduce their 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.

CLAIMS MADE INSURANCE
Your attention is drawn to the fact that if the Errors & Omissions section of this policy is selected, the cover will be placed on a "claims made"
basis which means that claims first advised to you (or made against you) and reported to your insurer during the Period of Insurance are
recoverable irrespective of when the incident causing the claim occurred, subject to the provisions of any clause relating to a "retroactive date".
You should also note that, in terms of the provisions of Section 40(3) of the Insurance Contracts Act 1984, where you give notice in writing to the
Insurer of facts that might give rise to a claim against you as soon as is reasonably practicable after you become aware of those facts (but before
the insurance cover provided by the contract expires) then the Insurer is not relieved of liability under the contract in respect of the claim, when
made, by reason only that it was made after the expiration of the Period of Insurance cover provided by the contract.
Please note that your duty applies also when you seek to renew, extend, alter or reinstate a policy.
