IMPORTANT DETAILS

Material Facts When seeking a quotation and/or arranging, amending or renewing a policy the information you provide must be true in every respect and you must not withhold or misrepresent any material information. Material information is any information which an insurer would regard as likely to influence their assessment or acceptance of the insurance. Failure to disclose all material information may lead to the voidance of a policy by an insurer. If you are in doubt as to whether or not such information is material, you should disclose it or contact Glennon for guidance. This information includes, but is not limited to, occupation, claims, medical conditions, convictions, disqualifications, pending prosecutions, endorsements and for motor insurance, age, type of driving licence, driving history and vehicle details. It is particularly important that you advise Glennon of ANY previous claims under ANY policy whether or not you were at fault. Exclusions

All Insurances notwithstanding titles such as "Comprehensive", "All Risks" etc. are subject to exclusions which qualify and define the extent of cover provided by the particular Insurance. Some of these exclusions are uninsurable, but other exclusions may be deleted or amended on payment of additional premium. It is extremely important to familiarise yourself with the Policy Exclusions and advise us if you consider that certain exclusions should be deleted or amended. Warranties/ Conditions

It is essential to comply strictly with the terms of any Warranties contained in your Insurance Policies. Failure to comply will invalidate the Insurance at the option of the Insurance Company. It is recommended that you read the Policies carefully and ensure that all Warranties and other Conditions are being fulfilled. If, for some reason, you cannot comply with a Warranty or Condition, we should be advised immediately so that we can discuss the matter with the Insurance Company. Claims All Policies contain conditions regarding the notification of incidents likely to give rise to a claim, many requiring that such notification be given as soon as possible after the incident has occurred. It is important that all incidents that might result in a claim and all subsequent developments are reported to us as soon as possible. Such notification will ensure that your position is safeguarded in the event of a subsequent claim being made against you. We have summarised below certain key issues for your guidance and to assist with the efficient handling of your claims. If you are in doubt as to whether a loss is covered or if a claim should be submitted please contact us. • Immediately notify and provide available details of any event that could give rise to a claim under your policy.

• Do not wait to notify or submit a claim because invoices or other documents are not immediately available. They can follow at a later date.

• Immediately notify the Gardaí (or Police authorities if abroad) of any loss or damage due to theft, attempted theft, assault or attack on any person, riot or malicious damage or if anyone is injured in a road accident.

• Never admit liability or make an offer to make payment to a third party (including employees) without the consent of your insurer.

• Do not reply or respond to any contact or correspondence received from any third party (including employees) or agent acting on their behalf. On receipt you must forward any notice of prosecution, inquest or fatal inquiry and every third-party letter, claim, writ or summons unanswered and unacknowledged for insurers to take the appropriate action on your behalf.

Notes

• Late notification and admission of liability are common cases of insurers repudiating claims. • Failure to disclose all material facts in respect of the claim could prejudice your rights to recover your loss. Data Protection

• The Code of Practice on Data Protection for the Insurance Sector states the following:

“Insurance policies should not other than in compliance with a specific legal obligation such as contained in the Road Traffic Acts, as a condition of the policy, require the provision of personal data of potential claimants at a pre-claim stage of any incidents, e.g. workplace accidents that might lead to a claim. Where notification is required of incidents that fall within the scope of the policy, this should take place by the provision of anonymised data only, except where there is clear evidence that a claim is likely to be made by the subject(s) of the report”.

• You must not supply us with any personal data on a potential claimant under an insurance policy unless there is clear evidence that a claim is likely to be made or unless a formal claim has been intimated.

• Where such clear evidence is not available and/or no formal claim has been made, please anonymise all personal details before forwarding the accident circumstances to us i.e. name, date of birth, address and PPS number.

• Please continue to provide full information as normal when:- o Reporting a formal claim; o Reporting an incident where an injury is substantive (requiring more than one week off work) or where

initial information points to liability attaching to you irrespective of the severity of an injury or damage caused.

• Please change the information provided when: o Reporting an incident where an injury is minor (requiring less than one week off work) and where initial

information indicates that liability does not attach to the you and it is reasonable to expect that a claim will not follow.

o The latter incidents should be reported excluding personal data such as name, address, date of birth, employee number, PPS number, relationship with insured etc. and any reference to the Injured Party should be by way of initials only.

• Please also refer to our Data Protection Notice in our Terms of Business

Sums Insured:

Adequacy of Sums Insured: It is important that you are aware of the implications of the Average Condition and that your sums insured are adequate in order to have the full protection of your policy in the event of a claim. Our experience shows that underinsurance is one of the principal difficulties encountered in negotiating claim settlements. In order to avoid underinsurance on your Buildings and Plant it is recommended that you have a regular professional valuation carried out. Buildings: You need to insure for the cost of reinstating the entire structure as new, taking into account walls, gates and fences. The sum insured selected by you should be sufficient to rebuild the premises in full and allow for demolition, site clearance, compliance with Building Regulations and professional fees necessarily incurred, together with inflation during the rebuilding period. If in doubt you should consult with your Architect or Professional Valuer. Business Interruption

It is essential that you carefully consider the basis of cover under the Business Interruption Section of the Policy. Insuring on Gross Profit or Revenue basis will protect your business against a reduction in turnover following loss or damage which is insured under your Policy. Insuring on an Increased Cost of Working basis will protect your business against increased costs only [as defined in policy wording] following loss or damage which is insured under the Policy. In addition, the sums insured and indemnity period selected need to be carefully considered. If you require any assistance on this matter please contact one of our team to discuss. Unoccupied Properties

If any properties or portion of an insured property becomes unoccupied, it is essential to notify your Insurers immediately. Such a change in occupancy is a fact that must be disclosed to Insurers. In many cases Insurers will impose additional policy warranties and/or restrict cover for unoccupied or partially unoccupied properties. Contracts, Leases and Other Agreements

Contracts, Leases or other Agreements including Supplier/Agency agreements normally require an acceptance of responsibility or risk or an undertaking to hold harmless one party or other in certain circumstances. Motor and Liability Insurances in particular exclude liabilities assumed by agreement which would not have attached in the absence of such agreement. All Contracts, Leases and Agreements should be carefully examined by you and we should be informed of any additional liabilities imposed on you so that we may discuss the matter with the Insurance Company. Contractors/Sub-Contractors/ Consultants

From time to time you may have occasion to use the services of Contractors in the course of your business. Such Contractors may damage your property, disrupt your business or cause accidents for which you may have a legal responsibility. It is important to check that the Contractors are adequately insured before they are allowed to commence work and we should be notified of the engagement of such Contractors so that we may make the appropriate enquiries on your behalf. Employment of Contractors may also constitute an increase in risk, requiring notification to the Insurance Company as previously stated. Reasonable Precautions: Every Insurance Policy is subject to either an expressed or implied Condition that the Insured will take all reasonable precautions to prevent claims arising. You are obliged to take reasonable precautions to comply with statutory obligations, to employ competent and sober employees, to adequately maintain and safeguard insured property etc. It is important, therefore, that Management should establish proper and adequate procedures in relation to safety and should also take the necessary steps to make certain that staff comply with these procedures.

Electronic Communications of Insurer Documentation: We may provide you with a copy of your policy documentation (including endorsements and/or renewal papers) in an electronic communication (by email) depending on what form we receive it from the Insurers. If we do not hear from you advising us not to send the policy documentation by email, we will understand that this implies acceptance by you for the use of this form of communication. Certificates of Motor Insurance:

Motor Certificates should be kept safely and retained indefinitely for possible future reference. Certificates of Employers Liability GB/NI (if applicable): Please note that: a) By law you must prominently display a copy of copies of the certificate at each place of business that you

employ persons covered by the policy. From 1 October 2008 this requirement may be satisfied by making the certificate available to all employees in electronic format.

b) Although it is no longer compulsory to retain copies of certificates for 40 years it remains prudent and in your

best interest to do so, even if such evidence of cover is maintained in electronic format. This is because Employers Liability insurance can provide cover for “long tail” diseases and without

appropriate insurance records it may be difficult or even impossible to trace or identify your insurer. In the event that no insurer can be found you will responsible for payment and legal costs of a claim.

Note: There is an Employers Liability Tracing Service available via www.abi.org.uk. This service should not

be relied upon, but may be able to assist if you are unable to identify your insurer in the event of a claim.

Motor Insurance Database – ROI/GB/NI (if applicable):

The 4th EU Directive on Motor Insurance states that each member country must be able to trace the insurer of a vehicle by the registration plate of that vehicle. Glennon clients who insure their vehicles on a “fleet” basis and Motor Traders (and, in GB/NI, Taxi Firms) are legally required to supply details of the vehicles (including temporary vehicles and trailers if they have their own registration numbers) covered by their Motor policy(s) for entry onto:- • The National Fleet Database (ROI) • The Motor Insurers Database (GB/NI) They are internet based solutions which facilitate the upload, change and management of fleet and motor trade (and Taxies in GB/NI) information. This legal requirement has no impact on policy cover. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in prosecution or seizure of a clients vehicle or both. For more information, visit • www.nfd.ie (ROI) • www.miic.org.uk (GB/NI)

Property Based Insurances – Insurer Appointed Repairers

Please note that in the event you need to make a claim under any Property based Insurance Policy your Insurer may appoint its own builder or other expert to undertake restitution on your property. The decision to repair, reinstate, replace or make a cash settlement rests solely with your Insurer. Motor Insurance – Basis of Claim Settlement

If a vehicle is written off, your Insurer will pay you its market value or the sum insured whichever is lesser at the time of the loss less the applicable policy excess so as to leave you in the same financial position you were in prior to the loss occurring. A deduction may also be made for the vehicles salvage value.

Motor Insurance – Insurer Appointed Repairers Please note that in the event you need to make a claim under a motor insurance policy your Insurer may appoint its own approved repairer or other expert to undertake restitution work on your vehicle. The decision to repair, reinstate, replace or make a cash settlement rests solely with your insurer. Thorough Examination of Certain Plant & Equipment

It is a legal requirement that certain “Engineering Plant” is subject to Thorough Examination (formerly Statutory Inspection). Plant requiring Thorough Examination includes air receivers, steam pressure plant and lifting equipment such as passenger/goods lifts and hoists. If you are in doubt as to whether an item of plant under your control is subject to Thorough Examination, please contact us. If you have any queries on these Important Details, please consult your usual Glennon Contact to

discuss.
