ADDITIONAL CLAUSES (applicable to Cover A and B)

Antiques and Paintings Clause
This insurance is restricted to the reasonable cost of repair and no claim is payable for depreciation or loss of originality consequent thereon (following repair).

Average Clause

That is to say if the goods covered by this insurance shall at the time of any loss be of greater value than the sum insured, the Assured shall only be entitled to receive such proportion of the said loss as the sum insured by this policy bears to the total value of the property insured. As an example, if the value of your goods being moved is $50,000 and you insure them for $30,000 then, if you lost a television valued at $1,000, the insurance policy will pay:
$30,000 x $1,000 = $600.00 [from which the excess would then be deducted]
