Complaints Relating to Claim Repudiations 

  1. If we decide that a claim by you does not qualify for any payment, or only qualifies for payment of a portion of your legal expenses, we will inform you (together with our reasons). It will be within 10 days after being placed in possession of all the information we have reasonably requested. You then have 90 days from the date we inform you, to let us know in writing if you object and do not agree with it.
  2. We will reconsider the matter and let you know our decision within 10 days of receiving your objection.
    • If we still decide not to pay what you claim and our decision:
    • is based on the fact that you did not pay a premium due, our decision is final.
    • is based on any other reason, and you request it in writing, we will pay an Independent External referee nominated by us, to review it. S/he will review our decision and give us a recommendation.
  3. We do not have to follow the recommendation of the External Referee, but it will be carefully considered. We will inform you of the Referee’s recommendation and of our final decision, within 15 days after We receive the recommendation.
  4. Nothing in this Agreement prevents you from starting a Case against us at your own cost. However, you must do it within 365 days of the date on which we informed you for the first time, of any decision concerning this Agreement that you do not agree with. You lose your rights to take action against Us after the 365-day period.
