How insurance works: a contract of indemnity

Insurance is a contract of indemnity. It restores you to the position you were in before a loss, never better off, and that single principle shapes every policy term.
How to read an insurance policy

A policy is easier to read than it looks once you know where cover, excess, exclusions and conditions sit. Here is what to check before you buy.
Exclusions, conditions and warranties explained

Exclusions, conditions and warranties decide what a policy will and will not pay. Understand each term in plain English so a claim is not refused on a technicality.
Premiums, excesses and policy limits

Premiums, excesses and policy limits set what you pay and what you get back. Learn how each works and how to balance cost against the cover you actually need.
