• If the “Payment Term” is stated as “Annual”, then this policy is a calendar year policy and premium is due on the “Inception
Date” stated on the schedule. If you elected to have this premium collected by debit order, the underwriting manager will
deduct the premium from the bank account shown in the schedule. In the absence of a debit order arrangement, you must
pay the premium into the bank account of the underwriting manager.
• If the “Payment Term” is stated as “Monthly”, then this policy is a calendar month policy and premium is due on the first day
of each month notwithstanding the agreed debit order date.
• If the monthly debit order is not met due to any reason other than cancellation of it by you, the Underwriting Manager will
collect arrear premium as follows:
o You could make payment into the bank account of the underwriting manager following prior arrangement;
o If the underwriting manager has not received written confirmation of such a payment, they will deduct from the bank
account shown in the schedule any premium in arrears together with the premium for the next period of insurance on the
next debit order date.
o Should this debit order not be met, cover in terms of this policy will be considered to have terminated on the last day of
the last period of insurance for which all premium had been paid and received by the underwriting manager.
• Any amount of premium received by the underwriting manager will first be applied towards the longest outstanding premium.
• If the first premium of a new policy is not met for whatsoever reason, the policy is regarded as not taken up and no cover is
provided.
