However, if loss occurs within the Grace Period for which the Company shall be obligated to pay benefits under this Group Policy, any premium then due and unpaid will be deducted in settlement.

Currency
All amounts shown in this Group Policy are in Philippine Peso (Php), unless specified in the Policy Schedule. If expenses are incurred in a foreign currency, then the rate of currency exchange used to calculate the amount payable in Philippine Peso (Php) will be the rate at the time the expense was incurred or the loss occurred.

Notice of Claim or Loss
In case of Injury or Accidental Death, written notice of claim must be given by the Insured to the Company within thirty (30) days after a covered loss occurs or as soon as is reasonably possible. Notice should include the Insured’s name and the Confirmation of Cover number.

If such forms are not furnished within fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice of claim, the claimant shall be deemed to have complied with the requirements of this Group Policy, as to proof of loss, upon submitting, within the time fixed in this Group Policy for filing proof of loss, written proof covering the occurrence, the character and extent of the loss for which the claim is made. All certificates, information and evidence, other than the usual claim forms, which the Company may reasonably require in support of a claim, shall be furnished by the Insured.

Proof of Loss
Written proof of loss including the original receipts, invoices and all other relevant documents must be furnished to the Company within ninety (90) days after the date of such loss.

If this Group Policy is cancelled, this does not affect the Insured’s rights to make a claim under this Group Policy if the Event occurred before the date of cancellation.

Fraudulent Claims

Assistance and Cooperation
The Insured shall cooperate with the Company and upon the latter’s request, assist in making settlements, in the conduct of suits and in enforcing any right of contribution or indemnity against any person or organization who may be liable to the Insured because of Injury or damage wherein insurance is afforded under this Group Policy.

In the event the age of the Insured has been misstated, and if according to the correct age of the Insured, the coverage provided by this Group Policy would not have
become effective, or would have ceased prior to the acceptance of such premium or premiums, then the liability of the Company during the period the Insured is not eligible for coverage shall be limited to the refund of all premiums paid for the period not covered by this Group Policy.

Right to Return Policy

Cancellation
This Group Policy, or any individual insurance provided thereunder, shall not be cancelled by the Company except upon prior written notice thereto to the Policyholder/Insured, and no notice of cancellation shall be effective unless it is based on the occurrence, after the Effective Date of this Group Policy, of one or more of the following:

c) discovery of fraud or material misrepresentation;
d) discovery of wilful or reckless acts of omissions increasing the hazards insured against;

f) discovery of other insurance coverage that makes the total insurance in excess of the value of the property insured; or

upon its receipt of the notice.

of evidence required from the Insured in connection with this Group Policy shall be conditions precedent to any liability of the Company to give any payment due under this Group Policy.

Renewal Conditions
This Group Policy may be renewed for further consecutive periods by the payment of premium on the Effective Date of the renewal at the Company’s premium rate in force at the time of renewal, subject to its right to decline renewal of this Group Policy on any anniversary date of the Group Policy upon giving forty-five (45) days prior written notice, mailed or delivered to the Policyholder at the address shown in this Group Policy, of the Company’s intention not to renew this Group Policy, or to condition its renewal upon reduction of limits or elimination of coverages. The Company’s acceptance of premium shall constitute its consent to renew. Unless
renewed as herein provided, this Group Policy shall terminate at the expiration of the grace period for which premium has not been paid.
