FOR THE EMPLOYERASSETS / PLANT & MACHINERY ALL RISKS

Under Assets / Plant & Machinery All Risks policy, the Insurance company agrees that if after payment of the first premium, any of the property insured described in the schedule is lost or damaged accidentally by unforeseen circumstances during the period of insurance (or any Page | 6

Page 8: BYLL WYCH PROPOSAL

subsequent period for which the insurer accepts a renewal premium) from any cause whatsoever except where specifically excluded the Company will pay to the insured the value of the property at the time of its loss or destruction or at the option of the insurance company, replace or repair such property or any part of it. In other words, the policy covers virtually all insurable perils except the specifically excluded ones.

BONDS

We provide brokerage service on all construction bonds to our clients in the construction industry. Such bonds include, Bid Bond, Performance Bond, Advance Mobilization Bond.

We also provide services on Custom Bonds which include Warehouse Bond, Removal Bonds, Retention Bonds, Security and Transit Bonds as may be required by the Customs, Excise and Preventive Service (CEPS).

BURGLARY INSURANCE

Our Burglary policy covers loss or damage to the subject matter such as stocks and contents as a result of forcible and violent entry into or exit from the premises.

BUSINESS INTERRUPTION

With the occurrence of fire outbreak, the insured may not be able to carry out the normal business operation. However, it may still incur some fixed cost. The Business Interruption or Consequential Loss policy is designed to provide indemnity to the insured in respect of net profit as a result of the interruption to the business, standing charge such as rent and interest and wages and salaries of employees.

CASH-IN-TRANSIT /SAFE

The Cash-In-Transit policy indemnifies the insured against accidental loss or damage to the insured's cash, bank and currency notes, cheques, postal orders, etc., while in transit from one specified location to the other, for example the insured’s premises to the bank, or within the country. Cash-In-Safe policy is effective when the insured’s cash is being held up in the business premises or location described in the policy. In other words, the policy provides indemnity against damage or loss to the insured’s cash while they are being kept in safe at the insured’s location.

COMPREHENSIVE HOMEOWNERS

This policy was designed to cover all accidents that are likely to occur in the home. The Comprehensive Homeowners insurance policy provides five main covers. The first section covers the insured's building against Loss or damage caused by perils such as fire, explosion, lightning, storm, hurricane, tornado, flooding, earthquake, volcanic eruption, bursting or overflowing of water tanks, etc.

The second section covers the insured’s contents against the above perils as well as burglary or any attempt excluding theft not involving entry into or exit from the private dwelling house, domestic offices, garages or outbuildings by forcible and violent means. In other words, these two sections are similar to a combined fire & allied perils and burglary policy.

The third section of this policy covers the insured’s liability to the public. That is, death and personal injury to any person not being a member of the insured’s household, servant or

Page | 7

Page 9: BYLL WYCH PROPOSAL

employee and accidental damage to property not belonging to or in the charge of or under the control of the insured or a member of his household, servant or employee caused within the limits of the private dwelling house.

The fourth section of the policy provides cover for personal accident, which is bodily injury which independently of any other cause shall result in death, temporary disablement or permanent disability and medical expense caused to the insured and or spouse and or children.

The fifth section provides the insured with the actual cost of renting an alternatively reasonable accommodation for the period necessary for reinstatement (maximum 12 months) for an amount not exceeding ten per centum of the full value of the property per annum or the proportionate part thereof monthly.

CONTRACTORS ALL RISK

Contractors All Risks (CAR) is a package policy that provides indemnity to the insured against loss or damage to the contract works, the insured's plant and machinery and liability to third parties in respect of death, bodily injury or property damage.

ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

This policy provides compensation for loss or damage to Electronic Equipment whether the items are at work or at rest, or being dismantled for the purpose of cleaning, overhauling or of being shifted within the premises, or during subsequent re-erection. The Material Damage section provides indemnity against any unforeseen and sudden physical loss or damage from any cause, unless specifically excluded, by paying for repairs or replacement.

The insurance company shall be liable and will in addition be responsible for all costs and expense incurred with the Company’s consent in defending any claim for such compensation.

FIDELITY GUARANTEE

Due to possible infidelity or fraudulent acts of some employees, the Fidelity Guarantee policy is provided, under which the insurance company agrees to reimburse the Employer (insured) all such direct pecuniary loss not exceeding the amount of guarantee stated in the schedule of the policy, as the Employer shall sustain by all acts of fraud or dishonesty committed by any of the employed staff during the period of indemnity and during the uninterrupted continuance of employment of such Employed. The act must be in connection with his occupation and be discovered during the period of indemnity or within six months thereafter or within six months after the termination of such employment whichever shall happen first.

FIRE & ALLIED PERILS

The basic fire policy covers damage or loss to the insured property as a result of fire, lightning and explosion. This could however be extended to cover allied perils such as aircraft damage, extended explosion, riot and civil commotion, malicious damage, earthquake, storm and tempest, flood, bursting or overflow of water tanks, sprinkler leakages, impact damage, subsidence, subterranean fire and spontaneous combustion.

GOODS-IN-TRANSIT

We further offer brokerage services on Goods-In-Transit policy which simply provides indemnity to the insured against loss or damage to the insured goods while they are being

Page | 8

Page 10: BYLL WYCH PROPOSAL

transported from one location to the other, normally within the county. Thus for example if the insured goods are accidentally damaged as a result of fire, theft or an accident during transit, the policy would indemnify the insured against such loss.

MARINE INSURANCE

Marine business is subdivided into mainly Marine Cargo and Marine Hull.

Marine Cargo policy provides indemnity to the insured for accidental damage or loss to the insured property as a result of insured perils such as storm, jettison, fire, seawater damage, etc. Shipment can be either by sea or by air. There are mainly three clauses in marine insurance business.

MOTOR

All motor vehicle owners are required by law to have a motor insurance policy to cover their legal liability to others who may suffer death, bodily injury or damage to their property as a result of the use of the vehicle. Victims of such injuries and damage are usually passengers, pedestrians, property owners and other road users. The motor policy is meant to cover the liabilities of our insured's vehicle towards third parties who may suffer loss or bodily injury or death as a result of the use of the motor vehicle.

Under the motor portfolio, three types of cover are available for clients namely, The Third Party Cover, Third Party Fire & Theft Cover, and the Comprehensive Cover.
