the basis:
• that You have paid or agreed to pay Us the
premium for the cover provided;
• of the verbal and/or written information provided
by You which must have given in accordance
with Your Duty of Disclosure either verbally or in
writing.
If You fail to comply with Your Duty of Disclosure or

respect of a claim and/or We may cancel the Policy.
If You have told Us something which is fraudulent,

‘Your Duty of Disclosure’.
Our contract with You
Where We agree to enter into a Policy with You it is a
contract of insurance between Us and You (see the
definition of “You” for details of who is covered by this
term).
The Policy consists of:
• this document which sets out the standard terms
of Your cover and its limitations,
• Your current Schedule issued by Us. The Schedule
is a separate document which shows the insurance
details relevant to You. It may include additional
terms, conditions and exclusions relevant to You
that amend the standard terms of this document.
Only those cover sections shown as covered in Your
Schedule are insured; and
• any other change to the terms of the Policy
otherwise advised by Us in writing (such as an
endorsement). These written changes may vary or
modify the above documents.
These are all important documents and should be
carefully read together and kept in a safe place for
future reference.
We provide the cover specified in the Policy subject to
its terms, conditions, exclusions and limitations.
We reserve the right to change the terms of this
insurance where permitted to do so by law.
Summary of the
available covers
You can apply to buy any of the following – You choose
what You need. This is a basic summary of the
different covers available. You need to read the Policy
for full details of the cover and the relevant limits,
Excess(es) exclusions and conditions that apply.
Section 1 – Commercial Motor
This covers loss or Damage to Your Vehicle and Your
liability to pay for Damage or injury caused by Your
Vehicle (other than injury covered by a CTP Policy).
Cover section 2 – Business
Interruption (Downtime)
This covers Your loss of income whilst Your Vehicle
is not operational as a result of a claim having been
accepted under Cover section 1 Part A of this Policy.
Section 3 – Public and Products
Liability
This covers amounts You are legally liable to pay
as compensation for certain Personal Injury and/or
Property Damage.

compensation for loss or Damage to Goods and/or
Livestock or loss or Damage where You have agreed to
accept responsibility for the Goods and/or Livestock.
No Workers Compensation cover
These Policies do not include workers compensation
cover. Such cover is compulsory for employers and You
should arrange separate insurance.
Applying for cover
When You apply by completing Our application
process You need to provide the information We
require to determine whether to issue a Policy and if
so, on what terms, including (to the extent they are
optional):
• the covers and benefits You want (including the
property You wish to cover):
• the limits You want;
• the period of cover You want;
• whether You want any third parties to be noted as
having an interest;

4
Any new or replacement schedule We may send You,
detailing changes to Your insurance or the period of
insurance, will become the current Schedule, which
You should carefully read and retain.
Premium
We calculate Your premium after taking a variety of
factors into account:
• some factors are pre set e.g. costs of distribution
and profit component). Other factors can affect
the amount of Your premium. The higher Your
risk profile is, the higher Your premium. Using Our
experience We decide what factors increase Your
risk profile and their impact on Your premium
(e.g. if You select higher limits, choose low
Excess(es) or have a high claims experience, Your
premium usually increases. If You select lower
limits, choose higher Excess(es) or Your claims
experience is low, Your premium usually reduces).
• Your premium also includes amounts that take
into account Our obligation (actual or in some
cases estimated) to pay any relevant compulsory
government charges, taxes or levies (e.g. Stamp
Duty, GST and Fire Services Levy) in relation to
Your Policy. In some cases We are required to
pay an estimated amount based on criteria set
by the Government. In such cases, We allocate
to the Policy Our estimate of the amount We will
be required to pay. We may either over-recover
or under-recover in any particular year and no
adjustment is made to Your premium by reference
to this.
We may take into account the under- or over-
recovery for Our calculation of the allocation to
policies in future years. You can ask Us for more
details if You wish.
Your premium also includes amounts that take into
account Our obligation to pay any relevant compulsory
government charges, taxes or levies (e.g. Stamp Duty,
GST, Emergency and Fire Services Levy) in relation to
Your Policy. These amounts will be set out separately
on Your Schedule as part of the total premium payable.
In cases where We are required to pay an estimated
amount (e.g. for Fire Services Levies) based on criteria
set by the Government, We allocate to the Policy Our
estimate of the amount We will be required to pay. We
may over or under recover in any particular year but
We will not adjust Your premium because of this. You
can ask Us for more details if You wish.
Minimum premiums may apply. In some cases,
discounts may apply if You meet certain criteria We set.
Any discounts/entitlements only apply to the extent
any minimum premium is not reached. If You are
eligible for more than one, We also apply each of them
in a predetermined order to the premium (excluding
taxes and government charges) as reduced by any prior
applied discounts/entitlements. Any discounts will be
applied to the base premium calculated prior to any
taxes being added.
Discounts are available at the time of printing and are
subject to change.
When You apply for this insurance, You will be advised
of the total premium amount payable, when it needs
to be paid and how it can be paid. This amount will
be set out in the Schedule, which will be sent to You
after the entry into the Policy. If You fail to pay We may
reduce any claim payment by the amount of premium
owing and/or cancel the Policy.
Your obligation to comply with the
Policy terms and conditions
You are required to comply with the terms and
conditions of the Policy. Please remember that if You
do not comply with any term or condition, We may
(to the extent permitted by law) decline or reduce any
claim payment and/or cancel Your Policy.
If more than one person is insured under the Policy, a
failure or wrongful action by one of those persons may
adversely affect the rights of any other person insured
under the Policy.
How to make a claim
Details about how We settle claims are provided in this
document under the Basis of Settlement cover sections
within each cover section.
Cooling Off Period
You can exercise Your cooling off rights and cancel
the Policy within fourteen (14) days of the date You
purchased the Policy and receive a refund of the
premium paid, provided You have not exercised any
right or power under the Policy (e.g. made any claim)
and these rights and powers have not ended.
We may deduct any reasonable administrative and
transaction costs incurred by Us that are reasonably
related to the acquisition and termination of the
Policy and any government taxes or duties We cannot
recover, from Your refund amount.
After the cooling off period has ended, You still have
cancellation rights, however We may deduct a pro rata
proportion of the premium for time on risk, plus any
reasonable administrative costs and any government
taxes or duties We cannot recover. See “Cancellation
rights under Your Policy” below.

5
Cancellation rights under Your Policy
How You may cancel this Policy
You may cancel this Policy at any time by telling Us in
writing that You want to cancel it. You can do this by
giving the notice to Your broker or Us.
Where there is more than one contracting insured ‘We
will only cancel the Policy when a written agreement
to cancel the Policy is received from all contracting
insured’s named as the insured or from a person
authorised to act as agent of all such persons.
How We may cancel this Policy
a. We have the right to cancel the Policy where
permitted by and in accordance with law.
For example, We may cancel:
• if You failed to comply with Your Duty of
Disclosure; or
• where You have made a misrepresentation
to Us during negotiations prior to the issue
of the Policy; or
• where You have failed to comply with a
provision of the Policy, including the term
relating to payment of premium; or
• where You have made a fraudulent claim
under the Policy or under some other contract
of insurance that provides cover during the
same period of time that the Policy covers You,
and We may do so by giving You three days notice
in writing of the date from which the Policy will be
cancelled. The notification may be delivered personally
or posted to You at the address last notified to us.
b. Subject to c., if You or We cancel the Policy We
may deduct a pro rata proportion of the premium
for time on risk, reasonable administrative and
transaction costs related to the acquisition
and termination of the Policy We incur and any
government taxes or duties We cannot recover.
c. In the event that You have made a claim under
the Policy and We have agreed to pay the full
sum insured for property insured no return of
premium will be made for any unused portion of
the premium on the property insured subject to
the claim.
Premium funders
If the premium has been funded by a premium
funding company which holds a legal right over the
Policy by virtue of a notice of assignment and/or
irrevocable power of attorney, a refund will be made to
the premium funding company of the proportionate
part of the premium applicable to the unexpired
Period of Insurance.
Your Duty of Disclosure
Before You enter into the Policy with Us, the Insurance
Contracts Act 1984 requires You to provide Us with the
information We need to enable Us to decide whether
and on what terms Your application for insurance is
acceptable and to calculate how much premium is
required for Your insurance.
The Act imposes a different duty the first time You
enter into the Policy with Us to that which applies
when You renew, vary, extend, reinstate or replace the
Policy. We set these two duties out below.
Your Duty of Disclosure when You enter into the
Policy with Us for the first time
You will be asked various questions when You first
apply for the Policy. When You answer these questions,
You must:
• give Us honest and complete answers;
• tell Us everything that You know; and
• tell Us everything that a reasonable person in the
circumstances could be expected to tell Us.
Your Duty of Disclosure when You renew, vary,
extend, reinstate or replace the Policy
When You renew, vary, extend, reinstate or replace
the Policy, Your duty is to tell Us before the renewal,
variation, extension, reinstatement or replacement is
made, every matter which:
• You know, or
• a reasonable person in the circumstances could be
expected to know,
is relevant to Our decision whether to insure You and
whether any special conditions need to apply to the
Policy.
What You do not need to tell Us for either duty
You do not need to tell Us about any matter:
• that diminishes Our risk;
• that is of common knowledge;
• that We know or should know as an insurer; or
• that We tell You We do not need to know.
Who does the duty apply to?
The Duty of Disclosure applies to You and everyone
that is an insured under the Policy. If You provide
information for another insured, it is as if they
provided it to Us.

6
What happens if the Duty of Disclosure is not
complied with?
If the Duty of Disclosure is not complied with We may
cancel the Policy and/or reduce the amount We pay if
You make a claim. If fraud is involved, We may treat
the Policy as if it never existed, and pay nothing.
Privacy Act 1988 – Information
We collect Your personal information directly from
You where reasonably practicable or if not, from other
sources. We collect it to provide Our various services
and products (e.g. to market, arrange and administer
insurance and to handle and settle claims) and to
conduct market or customer research. We also use it to
develop and identify services of Our related companies
and alliance partners that may interest You (but You
can opt out of this by contacting Us during office
hours). If You do not provide the information We
require We may not be able to provide You with this
service.
We disclose information to third parties who assist Us
in the above (e.g. insurers, insurance intermediaries,
insurance reference bureaus, related companies, Our
advisers, persons involved in claims, external claims
data collectors and verifiers, Your agents and other
persons where required by law). We also provide this
information to financiers if We have a relationship or
insurance scheme in place with them under which
You purchased the Policy. We prohibit them from
using it for purposes other than those We supplied it
for.
Where You provide Us with information about another
person for the above purposes, You must tell Us if You
haven’t got their consent to this. If You wish to gain
access to Your personal information (including to
correct or update it), have a complaint about a breach
of Your privacy or You have any query on how Your
personal information is collected or used, or any other
query relating to Privacy, please contact Us.
General Insurance Code of Practice
The General Insurance Code of Practice was developed
by the Insurance Council of Australia to further
raise standards of practice and service across the
insurance industry. We keenly support the standards
set out in the Code. You can obtain more information
on the Code of Practice and how it assists You by
contacting Us.
Complaints – Internal and External
Complaints Procedure
If You are dissatisfied with Our service in any way
contact Us and We will attempt to resolve the matter
in accordance with Our Internal Dispute Resolution
procedures. To obtain a copy of Our procedures
contact Us on (02) 9966 8820. A dispute can be
referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS)
subject to its terms of reference. It provides a free and
independent dispute resolution service for consumers
who have general insurance disputes falling within its
terms and its contact details are:
The Financial Ombudsman Service
Call: 1300 78 08 08
Post: GPO Box 3, Melbourne, Victoria 3001
Website: www.fos.org.au
Renewal procedure
Before Your Policy expires, We will advise You whether
We intend to offer renewal of Your Policy and if so on
what terms.
This document also applies for any offer of renewal We
may make, unless We tell You otherwise.
If We offer renewal, We send a notice advising the
renewal terms and the amount payable to renew
the Policy.
It is important that You check the terms of any renewal
offer before renewing to satisfy yourself that the details
are correct. In particular, check the sum insured
amounts and Excess(es) applicable and to ensure the
levels of cover are appropriate for You. You also need
to take into account any underinsurance provisions of
the Policy.
Please note that You need to comply with Your Duty of
Disclosure before each renewal (see above).
Terrorism Insurance Act
We have determined that the Policy (or part of it) is
a Policy to which the Terrorism Insurance Act 2003
(the Act) applies. We have reinsured Our liability
under the Act with the CommonWealth Government
reinsurer, the Australian Reinsurance Pool Corporation
(ARPC). As a consequence, We are required to pay a
premium to ARPC and that amount (together with
the cost of that part of the cover provided by Us and
administrative costs associated with the legislation) is
reflected in the premium charged to You. As with any
other part of Our premium, it is subject to Government
taxes and charges such as GST, Stamp Duty and, where
applicable, Fire Service Levy. For further information
contact Global Transport & Automotive Insurance
Solutions Pty Ltd or Your intermediary.

Limited were to become insolvent and could not meet

6. GST Notice
Your Policy has a GST provision in relation to Your

have an impact on how You determine the amount of
insurance You need. Please read the Policy carefully.
Seek professional advice if You have any queries about
GST and Your insurance.
a. Limit of Indemnity
All monetary limits in Your Policy may be increased for
GST in some circumstances (see below);
b. Claim settlements – Where We agree to pay
When We calculate the amount We will pay to You, We
will have regard to the items below:
i. Where You are liable to pay an amount for GST in
respect of an acquisition relevant to Your claim
(such as services to repair a Damaged item insured
under Your Policy), We will pay the GST amount.
We will pay the GST amount in addition to the limit
of Indemnity or other limits shown in Your Policy
or in Your Schedule.
If Your limit of Indemnity is not sufficient to cover
Your loss, We will only pay the GST amount that
relates to Our settlement of Your claim.
We will reduce the GST amount We pay by the
amount of any input tax credits to which You are or
would be entitled.
ii. Where We make a payment under Your Policy as
compensation instead of payment for a relevant
acquisition, We will reduce the amount of the
payment by the amount of any input tax credit that
You would have been entitled to had the payment
been applied to a relevant acquisition.
iii. Where Your Policy insures business interruption,
We will (where relevant) pay You on Your claim
by reference to the GST exclusive amount of any
supply made by Your Business that is relevant to
Your claim.
c. Disclosure – Input tax credit entitlement
If You register, or are registered, for GST, You are
required to tell Us Your entitlement to an input tax
credit on Your premium. If You fail to disclose or
understate Your entitlement, You may be liable for GST
on a claim We may pay. Your Policy does not cover You
