REINSTATEMENT OR REPLACEMENT

(Applicable to buildings, machinery, plant and all other property and contents; other than those specified in items (b) to (i) under Basis of Settlement).

The basis upon which the amount payable is to be calculated shall be the cost of reinstatement of the damaged property insured at the time of its reinstatement, subject to the following Provisions and subject also to the terms, Conditions and Limit(s) or Sub Limit(s) of Liability of this Policy.

For the purpose of the insurance under this memorandum ‘reinstatement’ shall mean:

(a)           Where property is lost or destroyed:  in the case of a building, the rebuilding thereof or in the case of property other than a building, the replacement thereof by similar property:  in either case in a condition equal to, but not better or more extensive than, its condition when new.

(b)           Where property is damaged; the repair of the damage and the restoration of the damaged portion of the property to a condition substantially the same as, but not better or more extensive than, its condition when new.

Provisions

(i)            The work of rebuilding, replacing, repairing or restoring as the case may be (which may be carried out upon any other site(s) and in any manner suitable to the requirements of the Insured, but subject to the liability of the Insurer(s) not being thereby increased), must be commenced and carried out with reasonable dispatch, failing which the Insurer(s) shall not be liable to make any payment greater than the indemnity value of the damaged property at the time of the happening of the damage.

(ii)           When any property insured to which this memorandum applies is damaged in part only, the liability of the Insurer(s) shall not exceed the sum representing the cost which the Insurer(s) could have been called upon to pay for reinstatement if such property had been wholly destroyed.

(iii)          Property insured under this memorandum is separately subject to the following Co-Insurance clause:

                in the event of damage to any property insured hereunder at any situation caused by any event hereby insured against, the Insurer(s) shall be liable for no greater proportion of such damage than the amount that the Insured’s declaration of value of property insured at such situation on the day of the commencement of the Period of Insurance bears to the sum representing eighty-five percent (85%) of the cost which would have been incurred in reinstatement if the whole of such property had been destroyed on that day, but not exceeding the Limit of Liability expressed in the Schedule; provided that if the sum actually incurred or expended in rebuilding or replacing the damaged property, within the meaning of sub-paragraph (a) of the above mentioned definition of reinstatement, exceeds the amount which would have been payable under this Policy if this memorandum had not been incorporated herein, but is less than the cost of reinstatement as above defined, then the sum so actually incurred or expended shall, for all purposes of this memorandum, be deemed to be the cost of reinstatement of the property.

                Provided further that the above clause shall not apply if the amount of the damage does not exceed five (5) per cent of the amount of the Insured’s declaration aforementioned.

(iv)          No payment beyond the amount which would have been payable under this Policy if this memorandum had not been incorporated herein shall be made until a sum equal to the cost of reinstatement shall have been actually incurred; provided that where the Insured reinstates or replaces any lost or destroyed property at a cost which is less than the cost of reinstatement (as defined) but greater than the value of such property at the time of the happening of its loss or destruction, then the cost so incurred shall be deemed to be the cost of reinstatement.

(v)          All other Industrial Special Risks and/or Fire and Named Perils insurances covering the property effected by or on behalf of the Insured shall be on a similar reinstatement basis.
