You have a statutory right to cancel your policy within 14 days from the day of purchase

or renewal of the contract or the day on which you receive the policy or renewal

documentation, whichever is the later.

If you wish to cancel and the insurance cover has not yet commenced, you will be

entitled to a full refund of the premium paid.

Alternatively, if you wish to cancel and the insurance cover has already commenced, you

will be entitled to a refund of the premium paid, less a proportionate deduction for the

time we have provided cover.

To cancel, please contact your insurance adviser.

If you do not exercise your right to cancel your policy, it will continue in force and you will

be required to pay the premium. For your cancellation rights outside the statutory cooling

off period, please refer to 2. General Conditions – Cancelling this policy, below.

You must return/surrender your valid certificate of motor insurance immediately following

cancellation.

2. General Conditions – Cancelling this policy

Following the expiry of your 14 day statutory cooling off period you continue to have the

right to cancel this policy (and/or any additional cover options provided by Aviva) at

any time during its term. If you do so, you will be entitled to a refund of the premium paid

in respect of the cancelled cover, less a proportionate deduction for the time we have

provided such cover. If you cancel your policy we will also charge up to £25.00

(plus Insurance Premium Tax where applicable) to cover the administrative cost of

providing the policy.

To cancel, please contact your insurance adviser.

We (or any agent we appoint and who acts with our specific authority) may cancel this policy

and/or any additional cover options provided by Aviva, where there is a valid reason for doing

so, by sending at least 7 days’ written notice to your last known postal and/or e-mail address

setting out the reason for cancellation.

Valid reasons include but are not limited to the following:

• Non payment of premium. If premiums are not paid when due we will write to you

requesting payment by a specific date. If we receive payment by the date set out in the

letter we will take no further action. If we do not receive payment by this date we will

cancel the policy (and/or any additional cover options provided by Aviva) from the

cancellation date shown on the letter.

• Where we reasonably suspect fraud.

• Where any insured person(s) fails to co-operate with us or provide us with information

or documentation we reasonably require, and this affects our ability to process a claim

or defend our interests. See ‘Section 5 – What to do when a loss occurs’, in this policy

booklet.

• Where you have not taken reasonable care to provide complete and accurate answers to

the questions we ask. See the “Contract of Insurance” wording in Section 3 of this policy

booklet and the “Information and changes we need to know about” wording in Section 4

of this policy booklet and the separate ‘Important Information’ notices supplied.

If we cancel the policy (and/or any additional cover options provided by Aviva) under this

section you will be entitled to a refund of the premium paid in respect of the cancelled cover,

If we cancel the policy we will also charge up to £25.00 (plus Insurance Premium Tax where

applicable) to cover the administrative cost of providing this policy.

Important note: The Consumer Insurance (Disclosure and Representations) Act 2012 sets

out situations where failure by a policyholder to provide complete and accurate information

requested by an insurer allows the insurer to cancel the policy, sometimes back to its start

date and to keep any premiums paid.

Where our investigations provide evidence of fraud or a serious non-disclosure we may

cancel the policy immediately and backdate the cancellation to the date of the fraud or when

you provided us with incomplete or inaccurate information, which may result in your policy

being cancelled from the date you originally took it out.

Your valid certificate of motor insurance must be returned/surrendered immediately

following cancellation.

When other insurance applies to a covered loss under this policy, we are entitled to approach

the other insurer for contribution and will only pay our share.

If a loss is covered more than once by us, we will pay under the section that provides you

with the most cover. We will not make duplicate payments.

If you have made a false claim, we can refuse to pay a claim or we can treat this insurance as

though it had never existed.

The law of England and Wales will apply to this contract unless:

• you and we agree otherwise; or

• at the date of the contract you are a resident of (or, in the case of a business, the

registered office or principal place of business is situated in) Scotland, Northern Ireland,

Channel Islands or the Isle of Man, in which case (in the absence of agreement to the

contrary) the law of that country will apply.

This policy and other associated documentation are also available in large print, audio and Braille.

Section 7: Physical damage cover

You should read your schedule to see if this physical damage cover applies to your policy.

This section provides you and an insured person with physical damage cover as detailed

below, whilst driving an insured vehicle anywhere within the territorial limits.

The general terms, general conditions and general exclusions all apply to this section.

We will cover physical loss of or physical damage to an insured vehicle

occurring during the period of insurance anywhere within the territorial limits.

• Your excess.

• Loss of use of the insured vehicle or any other indirect loss.

• Loss or damage to your vehicle in the event that you have exceeded the mileage

declared to us in the statement of fact and stated in your schedule.

If between the hours of 10pm and 6am your vehicle is within 500 metres of an associated

address you must ensure that the vehicle is kept in a secure locked garage or returned to

the garage address.

If you do not, we will not have to pay any related claim.

This condition does not apply in cases where, subject to our prior agreement and the

payment of the appropriate additional premium, your vehicle is kept on your driveway or

at an alternative location.

Following loss or damage involving any insured vehicle, we will decide whether to repair

your vehicle, replace your vehicle or make a cash settlement.

Each vehicle listed in your schedule is insured for an agreed value. If your vehicle is a

total loss declared by us we will pay you the agreed value if you have provided acceptable

valuation certificates or photographs of the vehicles within 30 days from the start date of

the policy. If you have not provided this information, we will only pay the market value for

the vehicle listed in your schedule or the agreed value, whichever is the lesser amount.

An insured vehicle will be declared to be a total loss when it is totally destroyed or stolen

and not recovered.

An insured vehicle is considered totally destroyed when the salvage value plus the repair cost

is equal to or greater than the agreed value of the vehicle or the market value if the insured

vehicle involved is not listed in your schedule.

An insured vehicle is considered stolen when it is stolen and not recovered within 30 days

of its theft. However if a tracking device is installed to the insured vehicle and is active at the

time of the theft, the insured vehicle will be considered stolen when it is stolen and not recov-

ered within 14 days of its disappearance. When we pay for a total loss the salvage becomes

our property.

If we are going to settle your claim by making a cash settlement, or by replacing your vehicle or

paying you the agreed value, or the market value, your vehicle will become our property. In

the event of a total loss you may, where legislation permits, request the opportunity to retain the

vehicle salvage, subject to a reasonable deduction from the claim settlement decided by us.

If ‘Section 7 – Physical damage cover’, applies to your policy, the following additional covers

and benefits are automatically included in your insurance.

Unless specifically stated to the contrary, they are in addition to ‘Section 7 – Physical damage

cover’ and the excess assigned to the insured vehicle will apply.

Your vehicle will be insured for an agreed value if you have provided acceptable

valuation certificates or photographs of the vehicles within 30 days from the start date of the

policy. If you have not provided this information, your vehicle will be insured for its market value.

In the event of a covered loss we will also cover up to £750 for the following for loss or

equipment damage if the cost of replacement is included in the agreed value. If it is not

included in the agreed value there will be no cover for such equipment.

a. The following equipment if permanently installed in or removable from a housing unit

within the vehicle and designed to be operated only by the power of the vehicle,

including radios, tape players, CD players and DVD players or similar equipment

including their accessories and antennas.

b. Telephones if permanently installed in the vehicle and designed to be operated only by

the power of the vehicle, including their accessories and antennas.

If you or a named insured person has a child car seat in an insured vehicle and

the insured vehicle is involved in an accident during the period of insurance involving impact

damage, we will replace the child car seat with a new one of equivalent quality even if the

child car seat itself is not damaged. Your excess does not apply to this cover.

In the event of an accident during the period of insurance resulting in a covered claim

under this policy and you or a named insured person is registered disabled as a result of
