3 1. Important Information 1.1 This Policy This Policy is an important document and should be kept in a safe place. Please read it carefully so that you understand the insurance provided. 1.2 Your Duty of Disclosure 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, 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. 1.3 Non-disclosure If you fail to comply with your duty of disclosure, the insurer may be entitled to reduce his 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. 1.4 GST The Premium includes an amount for GST. Underwriters liability to indemnify the Insured under this Policy is calculated less any Input Tax Credit to which the Insured is entitled for any relevant Acquisition, or to which the Insured would have been entitled had it made a relevant Acquisition. The Insured must inform Underwriters of the extent to which it is entitled to an Input Tax Credit for that GST, and any GST liability arising from the Insured s provision of incorrect advice is payable by the Insured. GST, Input Tax Credit and Acquisition have the meaning given to those words in A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act Privacy Pen Underwriting handles your personal information with care and in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles.

The purpose of the Code is to raise standards of practice and service in the general insurance industry. A copy of the Code can be obtained from or from us upon request. 1.8 Australian Terrorism Insurance Act The Underwriters have treated this insurance (or part of it) as an insurance to which the Australian Terrorism Insurance Act 2003 (ATIA) applies. ATIA and the supporting regulations made under the Act deem cover into certain policies and provide that the Terrorism Exclusion to which this Policy is subject shall not apply to any eligible terrorism loss as defined in ATIA. Any coverage established by ATIA is only in respect of any eligible terrorism loss resulting from a terrorist act which is a declared terrorist incident as defined in ATIA. The Terrorism Exclusion to which this Policy is subject applies in full force and effect to any other loss and any act or event that is not a declared terrorist incident. All other terms, conditions, insurance coverage and Exclusions of this Policy including applicable limits and excesses remain unchanged. If any or all of the Underwriters have reinsured this Policy with the Australian Reinsurance Pool Corporation, then any such Underwriters will not be liable for any amounts for which they are not responsible under the terms of ATIA due to the application of a reduction percentage as defined in ATIA which results in a cap on the Underwriter s liability for payment for eligible terrorism losses. 1.9 Further Information Your insurance broker has arranged this insurance on your behalf.
