EXPLANATORY NOTES Private Car Third Party Policy

How to read this document


Please note that your Private Car Third Party Policy only starts from page 5 onwards. To help you read and understand
your policy better we provide some explanatory notes together with comments and examples (written in italic). These are
not meant to be part of your policy and should not be used to interpret your insurance contract in the event of any dispute.

Words in bold
You will notice that some words in the policy are printed in bold letters. This is because they have been given specific
meaning in your Private Car Third Party Policy. Please refer to Section F on pages 14 to 15 for the meaning of these words.

What makes up your insurance contract?


Your insurance contract with us is made up of the following:
 insurance policy in pages 5 to 19 (excluding the italic texts);
 the information you provided us when you applied for this insurance;
 the Schedule;
 the Endorsements attached to the policy; and
 the Certificate of Insurance (CI).
All these must be read together as they form your insurance contract.

Duty of Disclosure
A. Consumer Insurance Contract

Where you have applied for this insurance wholly for purposes unrelated to your trade, business or profession, you had a
duty to take reasonable care not to make a misrepresentation in answering the questions in the Proposal Form (or when
you applied for this insurance) i.e. you should have answered the questions fully and accurately. Failure to have taken
reasonable care in answering the questions may result in avoidance of your contract of insurance, refusal or reduction of
your claim(s), change of terms or termination of your contract of insurance in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Financial
Services Act 2013. You were also required to disclose any other matter that you knew to be relevant to our decision in
accepting the risks and determining the rates and terms to be applied.

You also have a duty to tell us immediately if at any time after your contract of insurance has been entered into, varied or
renewed with us, any of the information given in the Proposal Form (or when you applied for this insurance) is inaccurate or
has changed.

B. Non-Consumer Insurance Contract

Where you have applied for this insurance for purposes related to your trade, business or profession, you had a duty to
disclose any matter that you know to be relevant to our decision in accepting the risks and determining the rates and terms
to be applied, and any matter a reasonable person in the circumstances could be expected to know to be relevant,
otherwise it may result in avoidance of your contract of insurance, refusal or reduction of your claim(s), change of term(s) or
termination of your contract of insurance.

You also have a duty to tell us immediately if at any time after your contract of insurance has been entered into, varied or
renewed with us, any of the information given in the Proposal Form (or when you applied for this insurance) is inaccurate or
has changed.

If you misrepresented any facts to us before the policy is entered into, examples of the actions that may be taken by us
against you include the following:
 declare your policy void from inception (which means treating it as invalid), and we may not return any premium;
 cancel this policy and return any premium less our cancellation charge or recover any unpaid premium;
 remove one or more named drivers from your policy and adjust your premium accordingly;
 recover any shortfall in premium;
 not pay any claim that has been or will be made under the policy; or
 be entitled to recover from you the total amount of any claim already paid under the policy or any claim we have to pay
0124

because of any relevant road traffic legislation, plus any recovery cost.

PCar/TPP-Ver1.0-Jan 24
Private Car Third Party Policy

What this policy does not cover?


These are referred to as ‘Exceptions’ in your policy and there are two sections where you can find them in your Private
Car Third Party Policy:
o Section B1b – see ‘What is Not Covered’ (pages 6 to 8: applicable to Third Party Only policy)
o Section D – see ‘General Exceptions’ (pages 9 to 10: applicable to Third Party Only policy)

There are generally three reasons why we put these exceptions in your basic Private Car Third Party Policy:
1. Cover is not provided for the exceptions. We have to charge additional premium if we agree to cover you for any of
these exceptions. An example of the exceptions which is not covered by your basic Private Car Third Party Policy
but which may be covered if you pay additional premium is:
• use outside Malaysia, Singapore or Brunei {see Section D – ‘General Exception 6’ (page 9)}.

2. There are other risks which are not covered by the basic Private Car Third Party Policy or by any of its extensions.
We would have to issue a different policy if you want these types of cover. For example, the following are not
covered by your Private Car Third Party Policy but can be covered under a different type of policy:
• carriage of goods must be covered under a Commercial Vehicle Policy; and
• hire or reward must be covered by taxi or hired car policy.

3. We cannot and do not cover certain risks at all. Some examples of these can be seen in Section D – ‘General
Exceptions’ (pages 9 to 10) such as:
• war, nuclear fission or fusion;
• risks that are against public policy or against the law; and
• drunk driving.

How can your car be used?


Since this is a Private Car Third Party Policy, your policy only covers you if your car is used for “social, domestic and
pleasure purposes and for the policyholder's business”. This is clearly stated in the Certificate of Insurance under the
heading “Limitation as to Use”.

The following are some examples of how your car can be used:
 to visit relatives and friends, for shopping etc.; and
 for some limited business use such as getting to and from work, and meeting customers.

However, we will not cover you, for example, if you use your car in the following manner:
 as a private taxi by charging fares to carry passengers;
 as a hire car by charging rental to use your car;
 to carry any goods in connection with any trade or business other than samples. You must buy a Commercial
Vehicle Policy to cover for this use;
 for motor trade (use for showroom display and for test-drive);
 to practise for or to take part in any race, rally, pacemaking, reliability trial or speed test; and
 use on any racetrack.

Who can drive your car?


 Practically anyone can drive your car as long as the driver:
• has a valid licence of the relevant class to drive and is not disqualified to drive by law or for some other reason
{(see exclusion on Unlicensed Drivers in Section D – ‘General Exception 1’ (page 9)};
• has your permission to drive (see definition of Authorised Driver in page 14); and
• complies with all the terms and conditions of this policy.
 If you or your authorised driver is not qualified to drive or breach any of the terms and conditions, your claim may
be rejected. If we are compelled by law to pay, we can recover any sum(s) paid and any expenses incurred from
you or your authorised driver.

In which territory is your car covered?


This insurance you have purchased only covers you in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei in accordance to the laws of
Malaysia. This territorial limitation may be specially extended only upon your request and accepted by Us, and confirmed
by way of endorsement to this Policy.

Note that if you intend to drive your car into Singapore, you are required by Singapore’s law to have cover against Legal
Liability to Passengers (LLP). Since LLP is not covered by the basic Private Car Third Party Policy, you MUST purchase
Endorsement 100 (see page 18), which provides a limited cover for your liability for death or bodily injury of passengers.

0124

PCar/TPP-Ver1.0-Jan 24
Private Car Third Party Policy

When is your cover effective?


This insurance is effective from the time of purchase of cover or at the agreed time of commencement, until the expiry
date. The period of insurance will be printed in the Policy Schedule and related documents. If there is any change to
these dates, it will be officially shown in an Endorsement issued by us.

What is No Claim Discount (“NCD”)?


This is a form of premium discount for not having made a claim during the preceding period of your insurance (provided
the period of insurance exceeds one year). The scale of NCD applied is specifically mentioned in the policy.

The applicable NCD can be checked with us or the Central NCD Database (“CND”) at https:// www.mycarinfo.com.my
/ncdcheck/online before the purchase of your Private Car Third Party Policy.

Do’s and Don’ts – after you have had an accident


 Do:
• inform us as soon as possible if you are involved in an accident with another road user of property or where a
third party is injured and the event may give rise to a claim;
• report all accidents to the police within 24 hours as required by law;
• immediately submit to us all letters, claims, writs and summons which you have received from third parties as
a result of the incident;
• remove your car to a PIAM Approved Repairer ( P A R S ) or our approved panel repairer;
• fully complete the relevant sections of your claim form – do not put “refer to police report”.

 Don’t:
• negotiate, admit or repudiate any claim without our consent (see Condition 2 in page 12).

Condition 2 of your policy (see page 12) spells out the do’s and the don’ts after an accident in more detail.

Section C: No Claim Discount

This section spells out the reward system known as the “No Claim Discount”.
1. No Claim Discount (NCD)
If You have insured Your Car for a continuous period of 12 months and You or anyone else did not
make any claim under this Policy during that time, a NCD will be applied at each renewal. The
applicable NCD will increase with each renewal if You continue to have claim free years as follows:

Claim Free Year of Insurance NCD Entitlement


After 1 continuous claim free year 25%
After 2 continuous claim free years 30%
After 3 continuous claim free years 38 1/3%
After 4 continuous claim free years 45%
After 5 continuous claim free years and beyond 55%

2. One Claim and Your NCD is Down to Zero


If You or anybody else meet with an Incident which will give rise to a claim on this Policy, the NCD
entitlement that You have accumulated would drop to zero at the next renewal and Your NCD will start
all over again. If a claim is received after the NCD has been applied, We shall be entitled to recover the
NCD given from You.

3. Exception to this Rule


Your NCD will not be affected even if a claim is made if:
 We are of the opinion that You are not at fault for causing the loss;
 the offending vehicle is identifiable and is not a vehicle used for carriage of passengers for hire
or reward (for example taxis, hire cars, public buses, stage buses, school buses and factory
buses for hire);
 the offending vehicle is insured by a Malaysian licensed insurer; and
 there is no death or personal injury claim involved.

4. Your NCD is not Transferable


The NCD is personal to You which means that if You were to sell Your Car and We agree to transfer
this Policy to the new owner, Your NCD cannot be transferred for the benefit of the new owner.

5. Non-utilisation of NCD
For every year that the NCD is not utilised by You, the NCD accumulated and applicable for this Policy
will be reversed in accordance with the scale set out in the table in clause C1 above.

Section D: General Exceptions - these apply to the whole Policy

This section lists down circumstances under which this Policy does not provide cover at the time of
happening of the Incident. This is in addition to those already listed in Section B1b (see pages 6 to 8).

1. Unlicensed Drivers
There is no cover under this Policy if You or Your Authorised Driver do not have a valid driving licence

regulations.

2. Alcohol, Drugs and Other Intoxicating Substances


There is no cover under this Policy if You or Your Authorised Driver is under the influence of alcohol

substance to such an extent that You or Your Authorised Driver are incapable of having proper control

You or Your Authorised Driver shall be deemed as incapable of having proper control of Your Car
if after a toxicology or equivalent test, it is shown that the alcohol level in the breath, blood or urine of
You or Your Authorised Driver is higher than the prescribed limit pursuant to Section 45 G(1) of the
Road Transport Act 1987 of 80mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood (or equivalent in respect of breath or
urine) or other equivalent legislation that is in force at the material time.

3. Fraud and Exaggerated Claims


If any claim is in any part fraudulent or exaggerated, or if You or anyone acting on Your behalf, uses
fraudulent means to get any benefit under this Policy, the entire claim will not be paid or payable. If We
are required to make payment of any such claim to a third party, We shall be entitled to recover the sum
paid and any costs incurred from You.

4. Unlawful Purpose
There is no cover under this Policy if You or Your Authorised Driver use Your Car for an unlawful
purpose or to attempt an unlawful purpose i.e. in violation of the criminal law or a recognised law of the
country where Your Car was being used.

5. Use for Racing etc.


There is no cover under this Policy if You use or You allow Your Authorised Driver to use Your Car:
a. to practise for or to take part in any motor sport, competition (other than treasure hunt), rally,
pacemaking, reliability trial or speed test; or
b. on any racetrack.

For an additional premium, Your Policy can be extended to cover the use of Your Car for reliability
trial or competition if You purchase the prescribed extension cover {Endorsement 24(d)}.

6. Use Outside Malaysia


Unless We provide otherwise, this insurance does not cover You in respect of claims arising whilst Your
Car was being used or driven outside Malaysia, the Republic of Singapore and Negara Brunei
Darussalam. In Malaysia, Our liability under this Policy is governed by the Road Transport Act 1987 and
the terms and conditions of this Policy, and Our liability outside Malaysia is governed by the terms and
conditions of this Policy only.

For an additional premium, Your Policy can be extended to cover the use of Your Car in Thailand or
Kalimantan only if You purchase the prescribed extension cover (Endorsements 101(a) and 102).

Section E: Conditions - These apply to the whole Policy

This section spells out the terms and conditions that You must observe to ensure this insurance remains
effective. Basically these conditions are of three types:
 What You must do
 What You must not do
 What We can do

Conditions Precedent to Policy Liability


The following conditions are conditions precedent to Our liability to indemnify You under this Policy and
have to be observed by You strictly. We can repudiate this Policy and / or will not pay claims under the
Policy if You breach any of the relevant conditions. These conditions also apply to Your Authorised Driver

1. Duty of Disclosure
The duty of disclosure is different for a Consumer Insurance Contract and for a Non-Consumer
Insurance Contract. They are separately outlined below:

profession, You had a duty to take reasonable care not to make a misrepresentation in answering the
questions in the Proposal Form (or when You applied for this insurance) i.e. You should have
answered the questions fully and accurately. Failure to have taken reasonable care in answering the
questions may result in avoidance of Your contract of insurance, refusal or reduction of Your claim(s),
change of terms or termination of Your contract of insurance in accordance with Schedule 9 of the
Financial Services Act 2013. You were also required to disclose any other matter that You knew to be
relevant to Our decision in accepting the risks and determining the rates and terms to be applied.

You also have a duty to tell Us immediately if at any time after Your contract of insurance has been
entered into, varied or renewed with Us, any of the information given in the Proposal Form (or when
You applied for this insurance) is inaccurate or has changed.

B. Non-Consumer Insurance Contract
