Representations
BY SIGNING THIS APPLICATION THE APPLICANT AGREES THAT:
The Applicant has made a comprehensive internal inquiry or investigation to determine whether anyone in the Applicant
organization is aware of any actual or alleged fact, circumstance, situation, error or omission which may reasonably be
expected to result in a claim, and have divulged any and all such situations in Questions 9 a or b. of this application; and
The application and attachments, and all of the statements and answers given therein are:
Accurate and complete to the best of the Applicant's knowledge;
Representations the Applicant is making on behalf of all persons and organizations proposed to be insured;
A material inducement to the Company to provide a proposal for insurance and any policy that the Company issues is
issued on reliance upon these representations; and
Deemed attached herein, incorporated into, and form a part of the policy.
The Applicant agrees to report to the Company in writing any material change in its operations, conditions, or answers
provided in this application that may occur or be discovered after the completion date of the application and before the
effective date of the policy. On receipt of any such written notice, the Company has the right to modify or withdraw any
proposal for insurance the Company has offered, at the sole discretion of the Company.
Signing of this application does not bind the Company to offer, nor the Applicant to accept insurance, but it is
agreed that this application shall be the basis of the insurance and it will be deemed attached to and made a part of
the policy should a policy be issued.
Any person who, knowingly and with the intent to defraud any insurance company or other person, files an
application for insurance containing any false information or conceals for the purpose of misleading, information
concerning any fact material thereto, commits a fraudulent insurance act, which may be considered a crime.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT CAREFULLY AND SIGN BELOW WHERE INDICATED. IF THIS POLICY
IS ISSUED, THIS SIGNED STATEMENT WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE POLICY.
QBPC 30 08 03 17 Page 4 of 5
No fact, circumstance, situation or incident indicating the probability of a claim or action for which coverage may be afforded
by the proposed insurance is now known by any person(s) or organization(s) proposed for this insurance other than that
which is disclosed in this application. It is agreed by all concerned that if there be knowledge of any such fact, circumstance,
situation, incident or allegation of negligence or wrongdoing, any claim subsequently emanating there from shall be
excluded from coverage under the proposed insurance.
The policy applied for is SOLELY AS STATED IN THE POLICY, if issued, which provides coverage on a claims made basis
for ONLY THOSE “CLAIMS” THAT ARE FIRST MADE AGAINST THE INSURED DURING THE POLICY PERIOD, unless
an automatic extended reporting period is available or the extended reporting period option is exercised in accordance with
the terms of the policy. The policy has specific provisions detailing claim reporting requirements.
New York Notice: This application is for claims-made coverage. There shall be no coverage for “Claims” arising out of
“Wrongful Acts” or “Personal Injuries” which took place prior to the “Retroactive Date”. Upon termination of coverage for any
reason, a sixty-day Automatic Extended Reporting Period will apply. For an additional premium, an Optional Extended
Reporting Period of thirty-six months can be purchased. There is no coverage for “Claims” first made against the Insured
after the ”Policy Period” or Automatic Extended Reporting Period unless the Optional Extended Reporting Period is
purchased. Gaps in coverage may arise if the policy is not replaced with comparable claims-made coverage upon expiration
of either the policy or Optional Extended Reporting Period, if purchased.
During the first several years of claims-made coverage, claims-made rates are comparatively lower than occurrence rates,
and the insured can expect substantial annual premium increases, independent of overall rate level increases, until the
claims made risk reaches full maturity.
