Obligations of the Applicant and the Insured

Provision XVIII  

    Upon establishment hereof, the Applicant shall be obliged to providing the faithful data when completing the Insurance Application and clarifying such relevant inquiries as raised by the Insurer.

If the Applicant conceals facts deliberately or fails to perform the duty of disclosure due to gross negligence that would be enough to affect the Insurer from making the decision of whether or not to agree to accept the insurance or to raise the premium rate, the Insurer has the right to terminate the contract.

If the Applicant deliberately refuses to perform the duty of disclosure, the Insurer shall not undertake to pay indemnity or insurance money for insured accident that occurs before the contract is terminated and shall not return the insurance premium.

If the Applicant fails to perform the duty of disclosure due to gross negligence, thereby seriously affecting the occurrence of insured accident, the Insurer shall not undertake to pay indemnity or insurance money for the insured accident that occurs before the contract is terminated but shall return the insurance premium.

The Insurer shall not cancel this Contract if it’s been aware, upon establishment hereof, of any such conditions as not having been faithfully disclosed by the Applicant; in the event of any insured accident, the Insurer shall undertake to pay either indemnity or insurance money.

The Insurer shall not undertake to pay any indemnification in case of any such losses and damages as expanded due to failure of the Insured to furnish the above-mentioned notice or other necessary assistance.

 

Provision XXV  

    The Insured shall furnish in a timely manner any and all claim-relevant data and certificates to the Insurer and shall ensure that they are complete and truthful.

The Insurer shall not undertake to pay any indemnification for any such undeterminable  part of the insured accident as of which the insurance liability in whole or in part can hardly be determined due to failure of the Insured to fulfill the above obligation.

In the event of an insured accident, the Insurer shall bear no liability for indemnification if the insured has waived any claim against the relevant responsible party even before the Insurer has not paid any insurance money. Once the Insurer has paid the Insured the insurance money, any such action taken by the Insured as to have waived any claim against the relevant responsible party without the Insurer’s consent shall be deemed null and void. The Insurer may either deduct or request refunding of the equivalent amount of such insurance money in the event of the Insurer’s failure to exercise the claiming right on behalf of the Insured due to the latter’s willful reluctance or gross negligence.

When the Insurer exercises the right of claiming other relevant responsible party on behalf of the Insured, the Insured shall actively assist the Insurer to claim compensation by furnishing the necessary evidences and documents to the Insurer together with any other relevant information to its knowledge.
