Duty of Disclosure
Subject to any rights you have under the Criminal Records (Clean Slate) Act 2004, the information given is in every respect correct and complete and all material information has been disclosed to Vero, whether the information is asked for or not. Material information is information that might influence our decision to insure you and if so on what terms and / or premium. If you have any doubt as to whether a fact is material then it must be disclosed. The duty to disclose all material information occurs prior to the commencement of cover, if the contract is varied and prior to each renewal. Failure to disclose all material information may result in Vero avoiding your insurance policy. This means your policy would be deemed never to have existed and any claims would not be payable.
The information contained in this document shall be the basis of the contract between you and Vero, and you are willing to accept cover subject to Vero’s policy terms, conditions, exclusions and any special
terms that Vero may require.
