This document provides an overview of key concepts in insurance policies, including: 1. Policies are contracts between the insured and insurer that outline the agreement including coverage details, premium, and exceptions. 2. Cover notes and certificates provide interim proof of insurance until the full policy is issued. 3. Policies consist of definitions, conditions, clauses/warranties, exclusions, and schedules which make the coverage specific to each insured. 4. Warranties are promises by the insured that must be fulfilled, while breaches allow insurers to deny claims from the date of the breach. Exclusions specify risks the insurer will not cover.
