Cover in the event of accidental damage or loss to your Tools or Portable Contents within Australia during the insurance period. This encompasses items specified in your policy that you either own or hold responsibility for. Compensation is subject to a predefined limit for each item, and the process is outlined as follows:
Repairable items will be reimbursed for restoration to a condition equivalent to new, though not surpassing it.
We’ll cover each item up to the insured limit by paying for repair costs if the item can be fixed to a condition equal to, but no better than, when new; if repair or replacement is possible and you prefer a cash settlement, we’ll pay the repair costs.
In cases where the item is economically unrepairable but replaceable, the cost of a comparable replacement may be covered. If a direct replacement is not feasible, compensation up to the predefined limit for that item may be provided.
