## Part 3—Eligible contracts of insurance
Your duty of disclosure
Before you enter into an insurance contract, you have a duty of disclosure under the Insurance Contracts Act 1984.
If we ask you questions that are relevant to our decision to insure you and on what terms, you must tell us anything that you know and that a reasonable person in the circumstances would include in answering the questions.
You have this duty until we agree to insure you.
If you do not tell us something
If you do not tell us anything you are required to tell us, we may cancel your contract or reduce the amount we will pay you if you make a claim, or both.
If your failure to tell us is fraudulent, we may refuse to pay a claim and treat the contract as if it never existed.
