AAIS FARMOWNERS PROGRAM: FO-20–ADDITIONAL POLICY CONDITIONS AND PROPERTY COVERAGE TERMS

(October 2020)

INTRODUCTION

FO-20–Additional Policy Conditions and Property Coverage Terms contains six conditions and terms that apply to policies written in the American Association of Insurance Services (AAIS) Farmowners Program. They are:

  • Additional Policy Conditions Applicable to All Coverages
  • Additional Policy Terms Applicable to All Property Coverages–General Exclusions
  • What You Must Do in Case of Loss
  • How Much We Pay for Loss or Claim 
  • Payment of Loss or Claims
  • Other Conditions

6. Insurance Under More Than One Coverage

The most the insurance company pays is the actual amount of a loss, regardless of the number of coverages that may apply to a single loss.

Note: This is an indemnity principle because an insured is not entitled to profit from a loss. Insurance is intended to return an insured to the condition that existed just before the loss, not to improve its condition.

7. Insurance Under More Than One Policy

The insurance company pays only its share of the loss or damage if there is other insurance that also applies to the loss or damage. That share is the part of the loss that this policy’s limit bears to the total amount of all insurance that applies to the loss.
