When choosing the limits of indemnity one should always take into consideration the settlement of the claim plus any costs that may arise from the defence of a claim and ensure that the limit of indemnity is adequate. Retroactive Cover: This is the date on or after which any claim made against the Insured will be indemnified in terms of the policy. This date is normally fixed as being the date on which the cover was first taken and would remain unaltered for the purposes of subsequent renewal. When cover is first taken additional retroactive cover may be offered by Insurers subject to certain conditions and premium loadings. Retroactive cover cannot be purchased after insurance has already been incepted. There will be no coverage for claims arising out of work performed prior to this date.

Dual Membership Where a claim is indemnifiable by the operative clause of this Insurance and the Insured is covered more specifically or primarily under another policy, then this Policy will indemnify the Insured subject to the terms and conditions of this Policy. Named Insured It is important to have the correct named insured listed on your policy, while this cover is provided for individual members practicing in their personal capacities, where you create legal entities under which name you operate, you may include the names of these entities on your cover, provided there are no more than 4 employees under such entity. This is important as the entity may be sued by a third party, not necessarily the member in person, and as such the entity must be a named insured in order for the policy to respond. Should you operate within a larger company and want your company covered, please contact Aon to discuss coverage options and quotes at preferential rates.

DEFINITIONS: Limit of Indemnity The maximum amount the Insurer will pay for one loss. In the aggregate The maximum amount the Insurer will pay in any one year. Excess/Deductible This is the amount that the Insured pays towards any claim that might be paid by the Insurer. The excess is paid in respect of each and every claim. Costs and Expenses This refers to the Insurers costs and expenses to investigate and defend any claims that might be made against the Insured. Claims Made Wording This means that it is the policy that is in force at the time a claim is made against you that will respond to the claim and NOT the policy that was in force at the time the work was done. Therefore should the policy be lapsed or not renewed there will be NO COVER in force to respond to any claims.

INSTRUCTIONS: Kindly indicate your acceptance of the above quotation, following which your payment of premium will be processed and on receipt of payment, your policy documents will be issued. As soon as payment is received and in good order cover is in place, policy documents will be issued within 10 business days following payment.
