APPLICATION FORM
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this application form is for us to find out who you are and to obtain information relevant to the cover provided by
the CPM policy. Completion of this application form does not oblige either party to enter into a contract of insurance. Insurance is
a contract of utmost good faith. This means that the information you provide in this application form must be complete, accurate

of insurance is agreed between you and us this application form will form the basis of the contract.
Important: Insuring Clauses 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 (sections E and H only) of this policy provide cover on a claims made basis. Under these
insuring clauses any claim must be first made against the insured and notified to us during the period of the policy to be covered.
These insuring clauses do not cover any claim arising out of any actual or alleged wrongful act occurring before the retroactive date.
