Base Insurance

This policy offers insurance against damage or destruction of the insured item due to:

• plant accident
• inaptitude, negligence or malicious intent by an employee or another person
• fall and impact of foreign object

A plant accident implies any event occurring unexpectedly and suddenly in relation to the use of the insured item.

This type of insurance can include a premium discount (bonus), or a premium surcharge (malus), depending on the technical result [a ratio between settled claim and technical premium charged] within the determined insurance period. Maximum discount/malus amount is 30%.

Unless otherwise stipulated by the contract, a standard deductible of 10% is borne by the insured in every loss occurrence. If a higher deductible is applied, the insured obtains a 30% discount.

The insured has the possibility of buying out the deductible, as well as the depreciated value in the case of partial loss [the value of property is not reduced by the the amount of depreciation at the moment of loss].
