Cyber losses

The criteria for determining which claims are payable under this insurance are as set out elsewhere in this certificate and these criteria will be used whether or not you consider that the event(s) which have led to any loss(es) are cyber-related.

Claims Procedure

Should you need to make a claim under this certificate contact the Jeweller that issued this certificate to notify the loss at your earliest opportunity and within thirty (30) days in any event. In addition, you must ALWAYS notify the police, even when abroad, of any loss caused by theft or the disappearance of an item and obtain a crime reference/lost property number where one is issued, and you must provide the Jeweller (or any person appointed by the Underwriters) with any information, documentation, or evidence of the loss. Failure to comply with these requirements could lead to the claim being rejected.

Your Jeweller will ask you to complete a simple claim form regarding the circumstances of the loss. Your claim will be passed on to the Underwriters and if they decide that an insured loss has taken place and settlement is agreed by the Underwriters, your Jeweller will either replace a lost item from stock or arrange for a damaged item to be repaired and the invoice for repair/replacement will be sent to TH March for settlement direct with your Jeweller.

If you are unhappy with the way your claim is being handled you should follow the procedure shown above to make your complaint.
