                  Insurance is a contractual agreement between the insurer and the policyholder.


                  The  insured  pays  the  premium  as  consideration  and  the  insurer  promises  to


                   indemnify the insured in case of any contingent loss.

                  Terms and conditions affecting the contract





               In  order  to  be  valid  and  enforceable  the  contract  must  be  legal  and  must  not  be


               against the public policy.
