Please read this paragraph carefully before signing the declaration:

It is essential that every Proposer or Assured when seeking a quotation to take out or renew any insurance discloses to the prospective Underwriters all material facts and information (including all material circumstances) which might influence the judgement of an Underwriter in deciding whether to accept the risk and on what terms. The obligation to provide this information continues up until the time that there is a completed contract of insurance. Failure to do so entitles the Underwriters, if they so wish, to avoid the contract of insurance from inception and so enables them to repudiate liability there under. If you have any doubt as to what constitutes a material fact or circumstance please do not hesitate to ask for advice.

DECLARATION

I/we declare that, after full enquiry, the contents of this proposal are true and that I/we have not misstated, omitted or suppressed any material fact or information. I/we agree that this proposal together with any other information supplied by me/us shall form the basis of any contract of insurance which may be affected. If there is any material alteration to the facts and information which I/we have provided or any new material matter arises before the completion of the contract of insurance, I/we undertake to inform Underwriters.

I/we hereby consent to any information I/we have provided being processed by you for the purposes of providing insurance and claims handling, which may necessitate sharing such information with third parties. Pinpoint Underwriting Limited may use this information for marketing (by post, telephone, e-mail or fax) subject to the conditions of the Data Protection Act. If you do not wish these details to be used for marketing please inform Pinpoint Underwriting Limited in writing.
