Saving you time… Saving you money… reducing your risk!

Introducing the Legacy average risk cover offer for Santam clients.

1. Background.

Santam together with Legacy offer a reduced premium to all Legacy / Santam policyholders. This cover extension offers 3 different value bundles under the Contents and Buildings sections respectively and will be offered at most competitive rates.

This offer is available from 01 November 2018 until 31 January 2019.

Cover added during this period will remain on the policy, until you the policyholder decides to remove it.

Legacy Underwriting Managers would like to encourage all clients to add this valuable extension to your policy in order to limit the risk of average being applied on Contents and Building sections at time of a claim.

2. What is average.

If, according to the Insurer’s calculations, the amount needed to replace/repair all of your insured property with similar new property at the time of any loss or damage, is more than the insured amount, the insurer will not pay you the full amount of the loss or damage. You as policy holder will be responsible for a proportional share of the loss or damage and will therefor effectively be your own insurer for the difference.

Example:

You are insured for R500 000, but the replacement value of your property is R1 000 000. This means you are only insured for half of the replacement value. Therefor you must cover the other half.

If you suffers damage to the value of R100 000, the insurer will only pay R50 000 of this amount.

If you as the client have selected this Valuable Average Risk cover, Santam will not apply average on the first claim that happens within the first 12 months after this cover has been added to your policy.

After the 12 months this cover will continue on the policy, but you will not qualify for the average waiver. Meaning that you as policy holder will still have more cover at a lower premium.

3. How it works.

• The cover is available in respect of all insured Contents and/or Buildings (thus also 2nd, 3rd, etc. risk addresses)
• The cover can be removed at any time
• The rates for this cover will remain unchanged for 12 months or until the 1^st claim in 12 months,

where after it will be adjusted to the normal section rates.

• Any claim on an item where this extension is selected, will be registered on the main risk and the

insured value of the Additional cover added to the sum insured of the main risk

• Depending on the sum insured of the underlying cover, you can select a layer above, but within

the rules as indicated below.

• This additional cover extension will not be available in respect of new business (clients) which

incepts after 01 September 2018 and later

• The existing sum insured may NOT be decreased to be replaced with an Average risk cover band
