  • Under-insurance
    If the sum insured in your policy is less than the actual value at the time of loss, you are deemed to have underinsured and have self-insured the difference. This average condition will apply in the event of a claim. You shall be considered as being Your own Insurer for the difference, and shall bear a rateable proportion of the loss accordingly.
