B-5.1 Pre contractual duty of disclosure, Watercraft Liability Insurance, Premium

Clause B-5.1, Pre contractual duty of disclosure, from Watercraft Liability Insurance, Premium, AVB WSH Premium (01-2025nam).

German law applies; only the German wording is binding.

This English text is a courtesy so you can read what you buy, not a contract document.

Where the two differ, the German text decides:

read Liability Premium B-5.1 in German.

B-5.1.1 to B-5.1.2: same wording in Liability Basis, clause B-5.1

B-5.1.3 Change of premium or right of cancellation. If the insurer's right of rescission is excluded because the breach of a duty of disclosure was based neither on intent nor on gross negligence, the insurer may cancel the contract giving one month's notice. The right of cancellation is excluded if you prove that the insurer would have concluded the contract even had it known the undisclosed circumstances, albeit on different terms. German law applies to the contract. The German wording of the conditions alone is binding; this translation is provided for understanding only. If the insurer can neither rescind nor cancel because it would have concluded the contract even had it known the undisclosed circumstances, but on different terms, those other terms become part of the contract retrospectively at the insurer's request. If you are not responsible for the breach of duty, the other terms become part of the contract from the current insurance period. If the contractual adjustment increases the premium by more than 10 per cent, or if the insurer excludes cover for the undisclosed circumstance, you may cancel the contract without notice within one month of receiving the insurer's notification. The insurer must assert the rights available to it under clauses A-5.1.2 and A-5.1.3 in writing within one month. The period begins at the point at which it learns of the breach of the duty of disclosure on which the right it asserts is based. It must state the circumstances on which it bases its declaration; it may state further circumstances subsequently in support of its declaration if the one month period has not expired for them. The insurer has the rights under clauses A-5.1.2 and A-5.1.3 only if it drew your attention to the consequences of a breach of the duty of disclosure by separate notification in text form. The insurer cannot rely on the rights named in clauses A-5.1.2 and A-5.1.3 if it knew of the undisclosed risk circumstance or of the incorrectness of the disclosure. (The German original refers here to clauses A-5.1.2 and A-5.1.3; these clauses do not exist. Rescission and cancellation are governed in B-5.1.2 and B-5.1.3.) B-5.1.4 Avoidance. The insurer's right to avoid the contract for fraudulent misrepresentation remains unaffected. In the event of avoidance the insurer is entitled to the part of the premium corresponding to the contract period elapsed up to the point at which the declaration of avoidance takes effect.
