If the original claims decision is upheld based on the internal review, the written notice will cite the specific reasons for the decision, citing the relevant sections of this policy.
• OUR RIGHT TO RECOVER PAYMENT
  a. If there is other valid coverage, not with us, providing coverage for the same loss and of which we have not been given written notice prior to the condition or commencement of loss, we may assert a right of contribution. You agree to assist us in our effort to obtain contribution.
  b. If any claim under this policy is eligible for coverage or reimbursement by any other insurance, this policy shall be deemed excess insurance. It is your responsibility to notify us if other insurance is in effect. Failure to do so will be deemed concealment or misrepresentation and may void coverage (see also Section VII. 7.).

  c. We may cancel the policy (or any renewal of this policy) due to the following:
  ‍i. Your material failure to comply with policy terms and conditions.
  ‍ii. A material change in the condition, factor or loss experience material to insurability (except that a material change in your pet’s health does not constitute a change that would provide grounds for cancellation of the policy);
  ‍iii. You fail to send us relevant information in respect to a claim; or
  ‍iv. You materially misrepresent or exaggerate relevant information pertaining to this policy or a claim.
  d. We may elect not to renew this policy on the expiration date (for any of the reasons stated in Section VIII.6.c above).

  ‍e. We will automatically renew your policy at expiration, unless you are otherwise notified of nonrenewal. We may change the premium, maximum annual policy coverage, co-pay amounts, deductible(s) and policy terms and conditions at renewal. You will be notified of changes in writing.
  ‍f. In the event of cancellation of this policy, we will promptly return to you the unearned portion of any premium paid. Cancellation shall be without prejudice to any claim occurring prior to the effective date of cancellation.
• LIBERALIZATION

• CLAIM FORMS AND PROOF OF LOSS
  Failure to furnish proof within the time required shall not invalidate nor reduce any claim if it was not reasonably possible to give proof within such time, given that such proof is furnished as soon thereafter as reasonably possible. However, it could delay payment.
