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 an insurance contract, you have a duty to tell us anything that you know, or could reasonably be expected to know, may affect our decision to insure you and on what terms. You have this duty until we agree to insure you. You have the same duty before you renew, extend, vary or reinstate an insurance contract. You do not need to tell us anything that: reduces the risk we insure you for; or is common knowledge; or we know or should know as an insurer; or we waive your duty to tell us about. If you do not tell us something If you do not tell us anything you are required to, we may cancel your contract or reduce the amount we will pay you if you make a claim, or both. If your failure to tell us is fraudulent, we may refuse to pay a claim and treat the contract as if it never existed. 1.3 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 Code commits general insurers to uphold high standards of service and practice. A copy of the Code can be obtained from us upon request or from 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. 1.8 Further Information Your insurance broker has arranged this insurance on your behalf. If you have any questions or need further information concerning your insurance, you should contact your insurance broker to assist you with your enquiry.
