                           The Insured Party must take all reasonable precautions to prevent injury and damage to
                           persons and property.

                           The Insured Party must give immediate notice of an incident which may give rise to a
                           claim or of receipt of advice of a claim.

Important Conditions       The Insured Party must made themselves aware of and comply with the following
(continued)                Notices:-
                           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 as amended, 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 these 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.
                          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.
                          Average Provision The insurer will pay legal expenses in addition to the sum
                          insured, if however, the total amount of the loss (less legal expenses) ultimately
                          paid to the claimant(s) exceeds the sum insured then insurers will only pay (in
                          addition to the sum insured) that proportion of the legal expenses as the sum
                          insured bears to the loss.
                          Third Party Interests This policy will only provide cover for your interest and does
                          not cover the interests of any third party (e.g. financiers, lessors, etc) unless the
                          interests of the third party are noted in the policy.
                          Waiver of Insurer’s Rights You must not enter into any agreement without the
                          written authority of the insurer whereby any of their rights to which they become
                          entitled as your insurer after settling or agreeing to settle a claim are prejudiced
                          or limited in any way otherwise all benefit under the policy will be forfeited.
                       NOTE    1. All enquiries to be referred to Arthur J Gallagher Insurance Brokers

                                2.   CLAIMS
                                     (a)      No admission of liability or fault may be made in any form to a
                                              claimant. To do so may breach the policy conditions and enable
                                              insurers to avoid settlement.
                                       (b) Any notice of a potential or actual claim must be referred
                                              immediately to Arthur J Gallagher Insurance Brokers
                                3. Nothing herein shall be construed to alter in any way the scope of
                                       insurance policy, its terms, conditions or exclusions, issued by insurers.
                                4. RAHSSA is not liable to the Insured Party in the event a claim is not paid or
