CONDITIONS
The Duty of Disclosure:
The duty of disclosure under United Kingdom law is a duty to pass on to Underwriters all material information relating to the risk under consideration. "Material" in this context refers to all information which a prudent Underwriter (not necessarily the Underwriter in question) would wish to take into consideration when considering whether or not to accept the risk and, if so, upon what terms and at what price. Material information does not necessarily have to actually increase the risk. The duty of disclosure continues up until the insurance contract has been concluded, but then resurrects itself at the time of proposed renewal or extension of, or any amendment to, the insurance contract. It may also be that the terms of the insurance contract include specific ongoing disclosure warranties. Therefore, in addition to providing all of the basic information necessary to enable the risk to be placed, you must ensure compliance with the duty to disclose material matters relating to the risk. In particular, underwriters must be satisfied as to the accuracy and completeness of the information provided and ensure that all information is provided that an Underwriter needs to take account of in considering whether or not to accept the risk and, if so, upon what terms and at what premium. In the event that there is a breach of the duty of disclosure, the Underwriter(s) may have the right to avoid the insurance contract from its commencement. Under such circumstances, the Underwriter(s) would be entitled to see recovery of any claims already paid by them under the contract, although at the same time the Underwriter(s) would generally be obliged to return paid premiums. The duty of disclosure and the consequences of its breach may vary to a limited degree from the foregoing dependent upon the law(s) applicable to the insurance contract. If you are in any doubt as to the ambit of the duty of disclosure you should have no hesitation in contacting us.

Average Clause:
If at any time of the loss or damage the sums insured of the property shown by such items as stated in the Confirmation of Cover be less than the cost of replacement, after deductions made for wear, tear and deterioration, then you shall be considered as being your own insurer for the difference and shall bear a rateable share of the loss accordingly.
Non Contribution Clause:
This insurance does not cover any loss or damage which at the time of the happening of such loss or damage is insured by or would, but for the existence of this insurance, be insured by any other insurance except in the respect of any excess beyond the amount which would have been payable under such other insurance had this insurance not been effected.
Salvage Clause:

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO THE INSURED
Templeton Insurance Ltd is registered in the Isle of Man and is licensed and regulated by the Isle of Man Insurance and Pensions Authority. The Isle of Man was the first jurisdiction to receive accreditation under the United Kingdom's Financial Services Act (Section 130) as a Designated Territory. This status allows the Island's insurers to sell insurance in and through the United Kingdom. The Insurer is therefore permitted to conduct business with the UK. However, the Insurer is not authorised to carry on business in the UK, which means that Her Majesty's Government does not supervise the management and solvency of the Insurer, and you will not be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme if the Insurer is unable to meet its liabilities to you.
COMPLAINTS
We try our very best to promote straight forward uncomplicated insurance services, however we recognise that occasionally there may be feedback which expresses displeasure. This feedback is important to us and in the first instance we would request that you write to:
Compliance Officer, Everitt Boles Ltd, 63 Mansell Street, ondon, E1 8AN.
Upon notification of a complaint, we will enter all relevant details in our Complaints Book such as the nature of the complaint and the relevant FSA classification. We will gather together all necessary paperwork and information. We will then consider the matter in detail.
It will be our aim to address the matter immediately and we would hope to acknowledge any complaint within two working days after receipt of the complaint. If we need to carry out further internal investigations, we would hope to revert within a week. We would expect to give our final response within a month. If it appears that we need further time, we will write detailing the revised timescale and the reasons for the delay. If we are unable to resolve the issues within eight weeks, we will again write and advise you of the facilities offered by the Financial Ombudsman Service (“FOS”) and enclose their leaflet should the complainant wish to refer the matter to them.
When we have completed our research into the matter, we will write detailing our response to the complaint. There are two options here:
| a) | A Final Response. This is when we feel that we have answered the complaint satisfactorily. If the response is considered inadequate, the complainant may take the matter up with the FOS within six months. | |
| b) | An Offer Letter. This is where we feel that we have addressed the complaint and feel that some redress is relevant. We will then write to the complainant seeking acceptance. This will be followed by a Final Response Letter. |
We will consider the matter closed when we have sent the complainant the Final Response Letter or our offer is accepted or we hear nothing within eight weeks from the date of our written response.
We are required by the FSA to report to them every six months (April – September and October – March) advising them of the number and type of all complaints received and their outcome.
