  1. The Policy and its schedules shall constitute one integral contract, and any Rider to this Policy shall constitute an integral part hereof, and every term or phrase to which a special meaning has been given in any part of the Policy or its schedules shall have the same meaning elsewhere, unless the context otherwise requires.
     
  2. Any notice or notification of an accident that is required by this Policy shall be served to the Company in writing by e-mail, facsimile or by hand delivery to the address designated in the Policy as soon as practically possible.
     
  3. Any external agreement between the Insured and the Company that will reduce the coverages hereunder shall be deemed void.
     
  4. In case of several insurances with more than one insurance company, the Company will only be committed to compensate damages in the percentage of the amount insured with it to the total insured amounts against the insured risk.
     
  5. The Company and the Insured may agree, using riders in return for an additional premium and within the scope of the terms and conditions herein, that the Company shall insure against the other damages not provided for in this Policy, in particular:
     
    1. Insurance against the damages to the properties of the Insured or the Motor Vehicle Driver at the time of the accident or the properties kept with them in trust, or in their guardianship or possession under a rider to this Policy or a separate policy.
    2. Coverage of the damages or risks which occur outside the roads.
       
  6. Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of this Policy, the Insurance Company may not refuse to compensate the Insured as a result of late notification of the accident, if the delay is attributed to an acceptable excuse.
     
  7. With respect to a fleet insurance policy or any Motor Vehicle insured under this Policy, the Company may not enter into any external agreement that may reduce the coverage provided under this Policy or depriving the Insured or the Beneficiary of this Policy from exercising the right to claim for compensation hereunder, including depriving a claim for compensation for any reason not related to the accident such as age, gender, or otherwise, or the agreement will be deemed void.
