We reserve the right to request further information from you if you wish to participate in certain Promotions

Payment on products underwritten by Old Mutual Alternative Risk Transfer Insure Limited

Having a monthly policy means that your policy runs for a period of one month, and you pay your premium each month in advance.

Your policy is automatically renewed each month if you pay your next monthly premium on time. It is your responsibility to ensure that there are sufficient funds in your bank account so that the debit order can be processed on the relevant Debit Date.

- Debit Date:  this is the day of the month on which you have requested us to collect your monthly premium from your bank account (e.g. the 25th of each month).

We will make use of an authenticated debit order collection process which allows you to electronically confirm your debit order details with your bank and us (on a once-off basis) at the start of your contract

If you do not authenticate the debit order collection of your premium, we will make use of an Early Debit Order Service provided by certain South African banks to collect your premium if it is unpaid on the Debit Date that you have chosen, due to insufficient funds in your account. This service allows us to track your bank account and deduct the premium when enough money is available

For your policy to start we must receive your premium for the first month, or part thereof, in advance. If we do not receive your premium, your policy will not start. We will amend your Cover Start Date to your next permissible Debit Date and will re-attempt to debit your account. If we are still unable to collect your premium, your policy will not start.

For your policy to renew each month you must pay your premium in advance every month by no later than the Debit Date.

If you do not pay your premium, we will automatically attempt to collect the premium after 15 days. If we are unable to collect your premium, you will not have cover for this Period of Insurance.

At your next Debit Date, your cover will resume and we will attempt to collect your premium. If we are still unable to collect your full monthly premium, your policy will automatically be cancelled from the first Debit Date on which you did not pay your premium. You will have no cover for any Period of Insurance that you did not pay for.

IMPORTANT: The 15 day period described above will only apply from the second month from your Cover Start Date. The 15 day period will not apply if we have never received a single premium payment from you. In this case, non-payment will result in the policy being automatically cancelled with effect from the Cover Start Date.

Where the Debit Date falls on a public holiday or Sunday, the premium will be collected on the last working day prior, or the first working day thereafter.

If you put a stop payment on your premium, the policy will be cancelled automatically from the Debit Date on which you did not pay your premium.

We will charge a non-refundable recollection fee of R50.00 for each failed premium collection, irrespective of the rand value, as a result of any of the following reasons for the rejection of your debit order:

- if there are insufficient funds in your account;
- if you cancelled the authorisation of the debit order; or
- if you provided the incorrect banking details when the policy was taken up by you.

7.2 If we agree to refund you a proportion of your premium as a result of dual insurance, we will deduct any cost incurred by Us during the period of cover from the refund due (subject to a maximum backdated refund period of 12 months).

8.1 You may cancel this policy, or any insured item at any time via the downloadable Pineapple Application or website (www.pineapple.co.za) and this cancellation will take effect at midnight on the day before your next debit date.

8.3 We may cancel this policy or any Policy Section by giving you 31 days written notice, either by email or to the postal address that you have provided.


CHANGES TO YOUR COVER

9.1 You may change your cover at any time. You must ensure that we agree to the change telephonically or in writing and that the change will apply from the date and time agreed.

9.2 We may change the terms, conditions and the premiums on your policy by giving you 31 days written notice to your last known email or postal address. Any changes will only come into effect after this 31 day notice period has lapsed.


PAYING YOUR PREMIUMS

10.1 Having a monthly policy means that your policy runs for a period of one month, and you pay your premium each month in advance.

10.2 Your policy is automatically renewed each month if you pay your next monthly premium on time. It is your responsibility to ensure that there are sufficient funds in your bank account so that the debit order can be processed on the relevant Debit Date.

- Debit Date: this is the day of the month on which you have requested us to collect your monthly premium from your bank account (e.g. the 25th of each month).

10.3 We will make use of an authenticated debit order collection process which allows you to electronically confirm your debit order details with your bank and us (on a once-off basis) at the start of your contract.

10.4 If you do not authenticate the debit order collection of your premium, we will make use of an Early Debit Order Service provided by certain South African banks to collect your premium if it is unpaid on the Debit Date that you have chosen, due to insufficient funds in your account. This service allows us to track your bank account and deduct the premium when enough money is available.

10.5 For your policy to start we must receive your premium for the first month, or part thereof, in advance. If we do not receive your premium, your policy will not start. We will amend your Cover Start Date to your next permissible Debit Date and will re-attempt to debit your account. If we are still unable to collect your premium, your policy will not start.

10.6 For your policy to renew each month you must pay your premium in advance every month by no later than the Debit Date.

10.7 If you do not pay your premium, we will automatically attempt to collect the premium after 15 days. If we are unable to collect your premium, you will not have cover for this Period of Insurance.

10.8 At your next Debit Date, your cover will resume and we will attempt to collect your premium. If we are still unable to collect your full monthly premium, your policy will automatically be cancelled from the first Debit Date on which you did not pay your premium. You will have no cover for any Period of Insurance that you did not pay for.

10.9 IMPORTANT: The 15 day period described above will only apply from the second month from your Cover Start Date. The 15 day period will not apply if we have never received a single premium payment from you. In this case, non-payment will result in the policy being automatically cancelled with effect from the Cover Start Date.

10.10 Where the Debit Date falls on a public holiday or Sunday, the premium will be collected on the last working day prior, or the first working day thereafter.

10.11 If you put a stop payment on your premium, the policy will be cancelled automatically from the Debit Date on which you did not pay your premium.

10.12 We will charge a non-refundable recollection fee of R50.00 for each failed premium collection, irrespective of the rand value, as result of any of the following reasons for the rejection of your debit order:

(a) if there are insufficient funds in your account;
(b) if you cancelled the authorisation of the debit order; or
(c) if you provided the incorrect banking details when the policy was taken up by you.

10.13 We will not charge you interest on late payment of premiums.


COOLING-OFF RIGHTS

11.1 Please note the consequences of non-payment of a monthly premium as set out in paragraphs 10.5 to 10.8

11.2 If you cancel your policy within 14 days after receipt of the contract and no benefit has yet been paid or claimed for a covered event, we will refund you within 31 days after receipt of the cancellation notice for the premiums paid up to the date of receipt of the cancellation.


POLICY VOIDANCE

12.1 If your policy is voided, we will refund the premiums paid by you (less cost incurred by Us during the period of cover), provided that the policy isn’t voided as a result of the policyholders’ intentional participation in a criminal activity.


ANNUAL PREMIUM ADJUSTMENTS

13.1 The Compensation Limit for your Buildings, Household Contents and General Items cover is adjusted on the Anniversary Date of your policy. This happens automatically, at a percentage calculated in line with the rate of inflation, unless you have advised us otherwise. This means that your premiums may also increase. It is your responsibility to make sure that the Compensation Limit represents the full value of your insured items in all Policy Sections at all times.


CHANGES AFTER A CLAIM

14.1 The Compensation Limit does not change when you have a claim, but your premium might be affected. We may choose to wait until the policy anniversary date to increase your premiums or we may ask you to pay a higher premium with effect from the date of loss or damage.

14.2 We may also change the terms and conditions of your policy following a claim.


UNDERINSURANCE

15.1 It is your responsibility to insure all your items for their replacement value. The replacement value is what it will cost you to replace the items that are lost or damaged with similar ones. When you make a claim, we will determine the replacement value at which you should have insured your items. If this value is more than the Compensation Limit shown in your Policy Schedule, it means you are under-insured and we will only compensate you for the percentage of insurance you bought, and you will be responsible for the difference.

Example: You have insured your household contents for an amount of R80 000. Your house is broken into and goods with a replacement value of R30 000 are stolen, which you claim from the Insurer. If, following our assessment, the current replacement value of all your household contents before the theft is proven to be R100 000 and not the R80 000 as insured, we will pay only 80% of your claim, as you were underinsured by 20%. In other words, you will receive only R24 000 and not the R30 000 you claimed. Your Excess will also be deducted from your claim.

15.2 Underinsurance does not apply to Motor Vehicles, Motorcycles, Trailers & Caravans, Personal Liability and Legal Costs Policy Sections.


PINEAPPLE BENEFITS & REWARDS

16.1 The Pineapple Rewards is a profit share network scheme where a portion of your premiums are refunded through rewards or vouchers after 12 months on condition that you:

(a) have uninterrupted cover;
(b) don’t claim; and
(c) you pay your premiums on time.

16.2 Conditions apply and these can be found in the document titled Pineapple Rewards, which is included with your policy documents.

16.3 Pineapple provides Trauma Counselling to customers who have valid approved motor insurance claims. The provision of the benefit is on an ex-gratia basis at the discretion of Pineapple. The maximum value of the benefit is R2000 per approved claim.


WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER YOUR POLICY

FRAUD, DISHONESTY AND MISREPRESENTATION

17.1 We do not compensate you for claims based on fraud, dishonesty or misrepresentation (giving misleading or incorrect information), including exaggerated claims. The entire claim will be rejected and your policy cancelled retrospectively from the actual incident date if you or anyone acting on your behalf submits a claim, or any information or documentation relating to any claim that is in any way fraudulent, dishonest, inflated or exaggerated.
