1 The due observance and fulfilment of
the terms of this Policy, insofar as they

plied with by the Insured, and the truth

the Insured shall be a condition prece-
dent to any liability of the Insurers.
2 The schedule
shall be deemed to be
incorporated in and form part of this
Policy and the expression "this
Policy",
wherever used in this contract, shall be
read as including the schedule. Any
word or expression to which a specific
meaning has been attached in any part
of this Policy or of the schedule shall
bear such meaning wherever it may
appear.

comply with all reasonable recommen-
dations of the Insurers to prevent loss
or damage and comply with statutory
requirements and manufacturers' re-
commendations.
4 a Representatives

right to inspect and examine the risk
and the Insured shall provide the repre-
sentatives of the Insurers with all details and information necessary for the as-
sessment of the risk.
b The Insured shall immediately notify
the Insurers by telegram and in writing
of any material change in the risk and
cause at his own expense such addition-
al precautions to be taken as circum-
stances may require, and the scope of

e91 pot 2/5
The Insurers shall on no account be
liable for loss or damage of which no
notice has been received by the Insur-
ers within 14 days of its occurrence.
Upon notification being given to the
Insurers under this condition, the In-
sured may carry out repairs of or make good any minor damage;
in all other cases a representative of the
Insurers shall have the opportunity of
inspecting the loss or damage before
any repairs or alterations are effected.
If a representative of the Insurers does
not carry out the inspection within a
period of time which could be consid-
ered reasonable under the circum-
stances, the Insured shall be entitled to proceed with the repairs or re-
placement.
Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Insured from taking such steps as are absolutely necessary for the upkeep of operations.
The liability of the Insurers under this Policy in respect of any item
sustaining damage shall cease if said item is not repaired properly without
delay.
6 The Insured shall at the expense of the Insurers do and concur in doing
and permit to be done all such acts and
things as may be necessary or required by the Insurers in the interest of any
rights or remedies, or of obtaining relief or indemnity from parties (other than those insured under
this Policy) to
which the
Insurers are or would become
entitled or which is or would be subro-
gated to them upon their paying for or
making good any loss or damage under
this Policy, whether such acts and
things are or become necessary or required before or after the Insured's indemnification by the Insurers.
7 a If the
proposal or declaration of the Insured is
untrue in any material re-
spect, or if any claim made is fraudulent
or substantially exaggerated, or if any
false declaration or statement is made
in support thereof, then this Policy shall
be void and the Insurers shall not be
liable to make any payment hereunder. b In the event of the Insurers dis-
claiming liability in respect of any claim and if an action or suit is not commenced within six months after such disclaimer or, in the case of arbitration
taking
place in pursuance of Condition 9 of
this Policy), within three months after
the arbitrators or umpire have made
their award, all benefit under this Policy
in respect of such claim shall be forfeited.

8 This Policy may be terminated at the
request of the Insured at any time, in
which case the Insurers will retain the
customary short-period rate for the time this Policy has been in force. This Poli-
cy may equally be terminated at the
option of the Insurers by seven days'
notice to that effect being given to the
Insured, in which case the Insurers shall
be liable to repay on demand a rateable
proportion of the premium for the unex-
pired term from the date of cancellation
less any reasonable inspection charges
the Insurers may have incurred.
9 If any difference arises as to the
amount to be paid under this Policy
(liability being otherwise admitted), such
difference shall be referred to the deci-
sion of an arbitrator to be appointed in
writing by the parties in difference or, if ,
they cannot agree upon a single arbitra-
tor, to the decision of two arbitrators,
one to be
appointed in writing by each of the parties
within one calendar
month after having been required in
writing so to do by either of the parties,
or, in case the arbitrators do not agree,
of an umpire to be appointed in writing
by the arbitrators before the latter enter
upon the reference. The umpire shall sit with the arbitrators and preside at their meetings. The making of an award shall be a condition precedent to any right of action against the Insurers.
10 If at the time any claim arises under this Policy there is
any other insurance covering the same loss, damage or
liability, the Insurers shall not be liable to pay or contribute more than their rateable proportion of any claim for such loss, damage or liability.

Provisions
Memo 1 - Sum insured
It shall be a
requirement of this Policy that the sums insured stated in the schedule are not
less than the cost of replacement of the insured items by new items of the same
kind and capacity, inclusive of all materials, wages, freight, customs duties and dues.
The Insured shall undertake to increase or decrease the amounts of
insurance in the event of any material
fluctuation in wages or prices,
provided always that such increase or decrease takes
effect only after the same has been
recorded in this Policy by the Insurers.
If in the event of loss or damage it is found
that the sums insured are less than the amount
required to be insured, the amount recoverable by the Insured under this Policy shall be reduced in such proportion as the sums
insured bear to the amounts required to be insured. Every item entered in the schedule shall be subject to this condition
separately.
Memo 2 - Basis of loss
settlement In the event of loss or damage
the basis of any settlement under this
Policy shall be
a in the case of damage which can be repaired - the cost of
repairs
necessary to restore the items to their condition
immediately before the
occurrence of the damage less salvage (excluding the cost of clearance of
debris),
b in the case of a total loss
- the replacement costs of the insured items if the loss occurs within
the period stated in the schedule,
- the actual value of the items immediately before the occurrence of the loss less salvage, such actual value to be calculated by
deducting proper depreciation from the
replacement value of the items,
however, only to the extent the costs claimed
had to be borne by the Insured and to
the extent they are included in the sums insured and provided always that the
provisions and conditions have been complied with.
The Insurers shall make payments only after being
satisfied by production of the
necessary bills and documents that the repairs have been effected or replacement has taken place, as the case may be. All
damage which can be repaired shall be repaired, but if the
cost of repairing any damage equals or
exceeds the value of the items immediately before the
occurrence of the damage, the settlement shall
be made on the basis provided for under b above.
The Insurers shall also reimburse the Insured for the cost
of clearance of debris following upon any
event giving rise to a claim under this Policy in accordance with Memo 3, provided a separate sum therefor has been entered in the schedule.
The cost of any provisional repairs shall be borne by the Insurers if
such repairs constitute part of the final repairs and do not increase the total
repair expenses.
The cost of any alterations, additions and/or improvements shall not be recoverable under this Policy.
Memo 3 - Extension of cover
In consideration of the Insured having paid the additional premium agreed
upon with the Insurers, indemnification for loss or damage otherwise
covered under this Policy shall be extended to
include the cost of
clearance of debris forming part of the
insured items including the cost of removal
or demolition of any portion of the insured items no longer useful for the purpose for which it was intended, but only if a
valid law or
ordinance requires the Insured to effect such
removal or demolition and only up to an amount not exceeding in any one event
the limit of
indemnity specified therefor in the schedule.
