If the claim is in any respect fraudulent, or if any fraudulent means or devices are used by the Insured or his representative to obtain any benefit under this Policy or if any loss or damage is occasioned by the intentional act or in the connivance of the Insured or his representative, then in any of these cases, all the rights and benefits of the Insured under this Policy shall be forfeited, and all consequent losses arising therefrom including the amount of claim paid by the company shall be indemnified by the Insured.

5.     Reasonable Inspection

The representative of the Company shall at any suitable time be entitled to attend the site and inspect or examine the risk exposure of the property insured.  For this purpose, the Insured shall provide full assistance and all details and information required by the Company as may be necessary for the assessment of the risk.  The above mentioned inspection or examination shall in no circumstances be held as any admission to the Insured by the Company.

6.     Average

If, in the event of loss or damage recoverable under Section I, it is found that the sums insured in respect of each item insured or total items are less than the amounts (replacement values)as  required to be insured (see Section IV), then the difference shall be regarded as self-insured by the Insured and the Company shall only be liable to pay such proportion of the claim as the sum insured of the damaged item bears to the amount required to be insured.

7.     Double Insurance

Should any loss, damage, expenses or liability recoverable under the Policy be also covered by any other insurance, the Company shall only be liable to pay or contribute his proportion of the claim irrespective as to whether the other insurance is arranged by the Insured or others on his behalf, or whether any indemnification is obtainable under such other insurance.

8.     Subrogation

Where a third party shall be held responsible for the loss or damage covered under this Policy, the Insured shall, whether being indemnified by the Company or not, take all necessary measures to enforce or reserve the right of recovery against such third party, and upon being indemnified by the Company, subrogate to the Company all the right of recovery, transfer all necessary documents to and assist the Company in pursing recovery from the responsible party.

9.     Dispute

All disputes under this insurance arising between the Insured and the Company shall be settled through friendly negotiations.  Where the two parties fail to reach an agreement after negotiations, such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration or to court for legal actions. Unless otherwise agreed, such arbitration or legal action shall be carried out in the place where the defendant is domiciled within the P.R.C.
