You should review your policy on a regular basis to ensure that the cover provided is adequate for your requirements.
For details of the full cover provided please read the policy wording together with the policy schedule, your original application, the signed warranties and conditions form and any endorsements or conditions applied.
In return for the payment of the premium and compliance with all applicable terms and conditions of this policy and any endorsements shown on your policy schedule, the underwriting Insurers agree to provide the coverage that you have selected as shown on the proposal form and policy schedule which forms part of the contract of insurance. At your request, various changes to this insurance contract may be made by us but only by our prior written agreement. By accepting this policy, you agree that the statements on the proposal form and any other required information or communications are your agreements and representations. This policy is issued in reliance upon the truth of your representations during the application process and it includes all agreements existing between you and us or any of our representatives.

Understanding what is not covered.
Section B of this document sets out the cover we can provide you with. You will need to decide if the limits, type, and levels of cover are appropriate for you and will cover your potential loss. If they are not, you may be underinsured which will result in you having to bear part of any loss that you have not covered yourself. Not everything is covered by this insurance policy, limits and conditions apply. It is important that you read this document carefully so that you can understand what is covered and the limitations. Remember that your policy is not a maintenance or breakdown contract. It is up to you to ensure that all measures are taken to maintain your vessel and machinery in a condition conducive to its use and failure to do so could result in a claim not being settled and/or the policy being cancelled from inception. Read the words with special meaning to ensure that you understand what we mean by terms used in relation to the cover that we provide. For example, ‘ Market Value’ is a defined term that affects what we cover you for. Make sure that you understand what we specifically exclude. Each cover has specific exclusions that apply to it. You should also ensure that you comply with the general conditions and claims conditions of the policy which set out certain obligations that you have. Failure to comply may result in a refusal to pay a claim. We will only cover your interest in the insured property unless we specifically include the interest of a third party on your policy schedule. The terms of your policy and premium are based on the information you have provided to us. You must ensure that all facts given are correct and you must contact us immediately if there are any changes to the information you have provided or at any time that you discover that the information is incorrect. Examples include but are not limited to:
i. Changes in conditions, Market Value or use of the vessel . ii. Criminal charges or convictions of any person having an interest in the vessel . iii. Changes in mooring location or type of mooring for the vessel.
A failure to provide full and accurate information may invalidate your policy and may result in part of a claim not being paid or the entire claim not being paid. If you are in any doubt, please contact us to ensure that you are and remain fully covered.
Excess/Deductible If you make a claim under your policy , you may first have to pay a policy excess/deductible . We will pay the relevant amounts that we cover you for above any policy excess/deductible . You will be required to pay us any policy excess/deductible applicable prior to us dealing with a third-party claim. We will specify any policy excess/deductible on your policy schedule when we issue cover. Language Unless otherwise agreed in writing the language of your policy and any communication throughout the duration of the policy will be in English. Law and Jurisdiction As your policy is underwritten by ION Insurance Company Inc then your policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the United States of America and the courts of the United States of America shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with your policy or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) unless specifically agreed to the contrary. Data Protection Notice To consider your request for insurance cover or administer subsequent dealings in respect of your policy we must process your personal data and where appropriate your ‘sensitive’ personal data and in doing this we will comply with the provisions of any applicable domicile data protection act. We may check and/ or pass some or all the personal information we obtain in connection with your policy or claim to our appointed service providers to administer the policy or for underwriting and claims handling purposes. We may also pass some or all the personal information to regulatory or other organisations, so that we can comply with our obligations, and we may also pass on some or all the personal information to databases and fraud prevention agencies. Premiums and Claims All premiums are handled by us or on our behalf by our agents. Claims are initially handled by us and will be passed to the underwriting Insurer for approval prior to settlement.
Applying for Cover To apply for this insurance, you must complete our application/proposal form and send it to us. Depending on the information you provide on your proposal we may ask you for further information. When completing the proposal or providing us with additional information in relation to your proposal, you must comply with your duty of disclosure . Please refer to the Duty of Disclosure section of this policy . Where we agree to provide cover, we will issue you with a schedule of insurance which sets out:
i. The period of insurance. ii. The vessel and/or property covered. iii. The limits of those covers. iv. The excesses/deductibles that will apply to you or others. v. Any variation to the standard terms.
The premium that we charge you is based on several factors including your risk profile (e.g., where your vessel is located, the type of vessel being insured , its value, navigational limits , and your insurance history etc.) It includes any amounts that consider our actual or estimated obligation to pay any relevant government charges in relation to your policy as well as any additional service charges that we tell you about. We will tell you when you apply, what premium is payable, when it needs to be paid and how it can be paid. Additional charges do apply if you pay your premium by instalments. Special conditions also apply to instalment payments as shown on your policy schedule . You may be eligible for a no claims bonus which is a discount off your premium. The no claims bonus you receive will depend on the number of years you have insured your vessel and the number of claims that you have had. You are eligible for a no claims bonus if you have experienced no claim against a pleasure craft policy for at least 12 consecutive months of cover. The no claims bonus discount is as follows:
1. year = 5% Discount 2. years = 10% Discount 3. years = 15% Discount 4. Years = 20% Discount (30% renewals only) 5. Years = 20% Discount (40% renewals only)
If you make a claim against your policy your no claims bonus would revert to zero for the following renewal and will be earned again year on year as per the details above Cooling off Period You have a cooling off period which means you can return your policy within 7 days of the commencement of the cover, and we will refund the premium paid less any charges unless you have made or are entitled to make a claim under the policy, or another party is entitled to make a claim against you for which you intend to rely on your policy. After the cooling off period ends you can cancel the policy by notifying us in writing. For full details of your cancellation rights please see full details of cancellation rights under Section 10 of this policy wording.
