Understanding your policy
Why the Schedule is so important
This is probably the most important section of the policy. It tells you such things as:
○ how much you pay in premiums and fees
○ how much your excess is
○ which parts of your property are covered by the policy
○ what kinds of cover you have chosen
○ what sums insured/limits you are covered for
○ what your security requirements are.
Take some time now to acquaint yourself with the Schedule. If you spot any errors, please tell your broker right away.
