How do we calculate an insurance Quotation?
We want to eliminate any ‘grey areas’ so we ask a number of questions to determine the type of activities each business has. We also use a combination of amount student / classes per week and the annual turnover. It’s essential to have each club / gym / association rated appropriately so there is no change of being under insured which may result in complications in the event of a claim.

This policy is unique in respect to the following: 
# The highest securities from a global insurer (better protection in the event of a claim)
# Broader worldwide coverage
# All inclusive policy wording that best represents the requirements of martial arts / fitness clubs
# Brokered by a dedicated martial arts / fitness specialist (knowing your business helps in claims processing)

Your Obligation
Before you enter into an insurance contract, you have a duty to tell the insurer anything you know, or could reasonably be expected to know, may affect the insurer’s decision to insure you and on what terms. You have this duty until the insurer agrees to insure you.

You do not need to tell the insurer anything that:

·      reduces the risk they insure you for; or

·      is common knowledge; or

·      they know or should know as an insurer; or

·      they waive your duty to tell them about.

Not informing the insurer of something:

If you do not tell the insurer anything you are required to, they may cancel your contract or reduce the amount they pay you if you make a claim, or both. If your failure to tell the insurer is fraudulent, they may refuse to pay a claim and treat the contract as if it never existed.

We also refer you to the linked Important Notices and in particular to the following definitions:

·      Average / Under Insurance.

·      Limit of Liability

·      Deductible / Excess

·      Claims Made During the Period of Insurance

·      Retrospective Cover
