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 Tel. no. (02) 9424 1888 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 payable by Insurers unless RAHSSA fails to take reasonable steps to advise that the cover is or is likely to be cancelled or not renewed. 5. RAHSSA is not an Australian Financial Services (AFS) Licence holder. RAHSSA is not providing financial product advice, has not considered the particular needs of the Insured party and no statement is intended to influence a person or persons making a decision in relation to any insurance cover. You should consider obtaining your own financial product advice from person holding an AFS Licence. 6. This insurance only applies to insured parties entering competition in accordance with the general regulations.
