Provisions applying to Section 1
Memo 1 – Sums insured
It is a requirement of this insurance that the sums insured stated in the Schedule shall not be less than
for item 1: the full value of the contract works at the completion of the construction, inclusive of all materials, wages, freight, customs duties, dues, and materials or items supplied by the Principal;
for items 2 and 3: the replacement value of construction plant, equipment and machinery; which shall mean the cost of replacement of the insured items by new items of the same kind and capacity;
and the Insured undertakes to increase or decrease the amounts of insurance in the event of any material fluctuation in wages or prices provided always that such increase or decrease shall take effect only after the same has been recorded in the Policy by the Insurers.
If, in the event of loss or damage, it is found that the sums insured are less than the amounts required to be insured, then the amount recoverable by the Insured under this Policy shall be reduced in such proportion as the sums insured bear to the amounts required to be insured. Every object and cost item is subject to this condition separately.
Memo 2 – Basis of loss settlement
In the event of any loss or damage the basis of any settlement under this Policy shall be
a) in the case of damage which can be repaired – the cost of repairs necessary to restore the items to their condition immediately before the occurrence of the damage less salvage, or
b) in the case of a total loss – the actual value of the items immediately before the occurrence of the loss less salvage,
however, only to the extent the costs claimed had to be borne by the Insured and to the extent they are included in the sums insured and provided always that the provisions and conditions have been complied with.
The Insurers will make payments only after being satisfied by production of the necessary bills and documents that the repairs have been effected or replacement has taken place, as the case may be. All damage which can be repaired shall be repaired, but if the cost of repairing any damage equals or exceeds the value of the items immediately before the occurrence of the damage, the settlement shall be made on the basis provided for in b) above.
The cost of any provisional repairs will be borne by the Insurers if such repairs constitute part of the final repairs and do not increase the total repair expenses.

The cost of any alterations, additions and/or improvements shall not be recoverable under this Policy.
Memo 3 – Extension of cover
Extra charges for overtime, nightwork, work on public holidays, express freight are covered by this insurance only if previously and specially agreed upon in writing.

Section 3 – Principal’s advance loss of profits

Definitions
The Insurers shall indemnify the Insured – named as Principal in the Schedule to Section 1 of this Policy – in respect of loss of gross profit actually sustained due to the reduction in turnover and the increased cost of working as defined in this Section, if at any time during the period of insurance stated in the Schedule to this Section the insured contract works or any part thereof suffer loss or damage covered under Section 1 of this Policy, unless specifically excluded in this Section, thereby causing an interference in the construction work resulting in a delay of commencement of and/or interference with the insured business, hereinafter referred to as “the delay”.
The amount payable as indemnity hereunder shall be:
– in respect of loss of gross profit: the sum obtained by applying the rate of gross profit to the amount by which the actual turnover during the indemnity period falls short of the turnover which would have been achieved had the delay not occurred;
– in respect of increased cost of working: the additional expenditure necessarily and reasonably incurred for the sole purpose of avoiding or diminishing the reduction in turnover which, without such expenditure, would have taken place during the indemnity period, but not exceeding the sum obtained by applying the rate of gross profit to the amount of the reduction in turnover thereby avoided.

If the annual sum insured hereunder is less than the sum obtained by applying the rate of gross profit to the annual turnover, the amount payable shall be reduced proportionately.
Period of insurance
The period of insurance shall be the period stated in the Schedule to this Section, terminating on the date specified in the Schedule or on any earlier date when the CAR material damage cover of Section 1 ceases.
Scheduled date of commencement of the insured business
The date stated in the Schedule to this Section or any revised date upon which the business would have commenced had the delay not occurred.
Indemnity period
The period during which the results of the business are affected in consequence of the delay, beginning on the scheduled date of commencement of the insured business and not exceeding the maximum indemnity period stated in the Schedule to this Section.

Time excess
The period stated in the Schedule to this Section for which the Insurers are not liable. The corresponding amount shall be calculated by multiplying the average daily value of loss sustained during the indemnity period by the number of days

Special exclusions to Section 3
agreed upon as time excess.
Turnover
The amount of money (less discounts allowed) paid or payable to the Insured for accommodation rented or other services rendered in the course of the insured business conducted at the premises.
Annual turnover
The turnover which, had the delay not occurred, would have been achieved during the 12 months after the scheduled date of commencement of the insured business.
Annual gross profit
The amount by which the value of the annual turnover exceeds the amount of the specified working expenses.
Specified working expenses shall be any variable costs, e.g. costs incurred for the acquisition of goods, materials as well as for supplies and services (unless required for the upkeep of operations) and any expenditure for turnover tax, purchase tax, license fees and royalties, etc., insofar as such costs are dependent on turnover.

Rate of gross profit
The rate which, had the delay not occurred, would have been earned on the turnover during the indemnity period.
The Insurers shall not be liable for
1. loss of gross profit and/or increased cost of working due to any delay caused by or resulting from
1.1. loss or damage covered under Section 1 by way of endorsement, unless it has been specifically agreed in writing;
1.2. earthquake, volcanic eruption, tsunami, unless it has been specifically agreed in writing;
1.3. loss of or damage to surrounding property, construction machinery, plant and equipment;
1.4. loss of or damage to operating media or feedstock, shortage, destruction, deterioration of or damage to any materials necessary for the insured business;

1.6. non-availability of funds;

1.7. alterations, additions, improvements, rectification of defects or faults or elimination of any deficiencies carried out after the occurrence;

2 any loss due to fines or damages for breach of contract, for late or non-completion of orders, or for any penalties of whatever nature;
3 loss of business due to causes such as suspension, lapse or cancellation of a lease, licence or order, etc. which occurs after the date of actual commencement of the business;
4 loss of or damage to construction work of a prototype nature, unless specifically agreed by endorsement.

Memo 1 – Extension of period
Any extension of the period of insurance under Section 1 of this Policy shall not automatically lead to an extension of the period of insurance stated in the Schedule to this Section.
Any extension of the period of insurance under this Section of the Policy shall be requested in writing as early as possible by the Insured, stating the circumstances leading to the need for extension, and shall have effect for this Section only if specifically agreed upon in writing.
Any alteration of the scheduled date of commencement of the insured business shall be reported and shall have effect for this Section only if specifically agreed upon in writing.
Memo 2 – Basis of loss settlement
In calculating the rate of gross profit and annual turnover, the following points shall in particular be taken into consideration:
a) the results of the insured business for the 12-month period after commencement,
b) variations and special circumstances which would have affected the insured business had the delay not occurred,
c) variations and special circumstances affecting the insured business after commencement,
so that the final figures represent as closely as may be reasonably practicable the results which the insured business would have obtained after the scheduled date of commencement had the delay not occurred.

Special conditions applying to Section 3 Memo 3 – Return of premium
If the Insured declares (certified by the Insured’s auditors) that the gross profit earned during the accounting period of twelve months following the commence-ment of the insured business or the date on which but for the delay the business would have commenced was less than the sum insured thereon, a pro rata return of premium not exceeding one third of the premium paid shall be made in respect of the difference.
If any loss or damage has occurred giving rise to a claim under this Policy, such return shall be made in respect only of so much of said difference as is not due to such damage.
1 The Insured shall present the Insurers with updated progress reports at intervals stated in the Schedule to this Section.
2 In the event of any material change in the original risk such as
– changes of the envisaged progress programme
– alteration, modification or addition to any item of work
– departure from prescribed construction methods
– changes in the Insured’s interest (such as discontinuation or liquidation of the business or its being placed in receivership)

taking place, the Policy shall be void unless its continuance be agreed by memorandum signed by the Insurers.
3. In the event of any occurrence which might cause a delay and give rise to a claim under this Section:
a) the Insured shall immediately notify the Insurers by telephone or telegram and send them written confirmation thereof within forty-eight hours of the occurrence;
b) the Insured shall do and concur in doing and permit to be done all such things as may be reasonably practicable to minimize or establish the extent of any interference with the construction work so as to avoid or diminish any delay resulting there from;
c) the Insurers and every person authorized by the Insurers shall, without prejudice to any party insured by this Policy, have access to the construction site where such loss or damage has occurred for the purpose of direct negotiation with the responsible contractor or subcontractor in order to establish the possible cause and extent of the loss or damage, its effect on the insured interest, to examine the possibilities for minimizing any delay in the scheduled commencement of the insured business, and if necessary to make any reasonable recommendations for the avoidance or minimization of such delay.
This condition shall be evidence of the leave and license of the Insured to the Insurers so to do. If the Insured or anyone acting on his behalf hinders or obstructs the Insurers during any of the above-mentioned acts or does not comply with such recommendations of the Insurers, all benefits under this Section shall be forfeited.

1 In the event of a claim made under this Section, the Insured shall at his own expense deliver to the Insurers not later than thirty days after the delay or within such further period as the Insurers may allow in writing a written statement setting forth particulars of his claim. Furthermore, the Insured shall at his own expense produce and furnish to the Insurers such books of account and other business books, e.g. invoices, balance sheets and other documents, proofs, information, explanations or other evidence as may reasonably be required by the Insurers for the purpose of investigating or verifying the claim together with – if required – a statutory declaration of the truth of the claim and of any matters connected therewith.
2 The indemnity shall be payable one month after final determination of its amount. Notwithstanding the above the Insured may, one month after the Insurers have been duly notified of the loss and have acknowledged their liability, claim as advance payment(s) the minimum amount(s) payable under the prevailing circumstances.
The Insurers shall be entitled to postpone payment
a) if there are doubts as to the Insured’s right to receive payment, until the necessary proof is furnished;
b) if, as a result of any loss or damage or any delay in the anticipated commencement of the insured business, police or criminal investigations have been initiated against the Insured, until the completion of such investigations.
The Insurers shall not be liable to pay interest on indemnity moneys withheld other than interest for default.
