DISCLOSURES:
I warrant that I have taken note and understand the cover limits, waiting periods and the limitations of this policy. Should there be any dispute as
to the information provided, the policy wording that that forms part of the Welcome Pack will be deemed to be correct and will be the basis of this
agreement. In no way do I expect that the policy will provide unlimited cover in the event of medical occurrences unless expressly indicated as
such. This is an application for a binding insurance contract on the intermediary and myself and no further acceptance of terms and conditions or
any other documents will be necessary for this contract to become binding. I fully understand that the AGS Health Policy is based on insurance
cover and is not a medical aid and that the policy is a month-to-month contract. The cover in this policy has no s urrender/cancellation/maturity
values and in the event that my premium is unpaid, the cover applicable to the policy will lapse, subject to the grace period offered by the
Administrator being AGSHealth. I further declare that all the information entered by me on this application is true and correct and should any
further information be required I will make this available to the Administrator or Insurer as necessary for my policy or any query related to the
policy. The disclosure of medical conditions is true and correct, and I am in no way entering this agreement with the knowledge of undisclosed
conditions or expected future conditions. The policy wording necessary for this policy to be binding on the parties will be made available to me
through communication by the Administrator. PAYMENT OF COVER: I accept that the payment of any cover due to a valid claim will first be paid
to the Administrator trust account held in my name, for distribution to the service providers who have presented valid invoices for services
rendered to a beneficiary of this policy. I understand and accept that after these payments have been made only the remaining portion of the
claim will be paid to me, the principle insured of this insurance product. I hereby issue power of attorney and a mandate to AGSHealth to act on
my behalf for each and every claim. I understand that no additional charge will be levied against me for the services offered in assisting me with
my claim.
ACCEPTANCE:
The Administrator will advise me of the acceptance of the terms of the above policy and if there are any terms and conditions that require
additional disclosure for my individual policy.
ITC RATING CHECK:
I authorise the Administrator to submit my details to ITC to properly rate my account and credit record. The Administrator warrants that all
information received from ITC in this regard will be treated as confidential and will not be disclosed to any third parties.
PREMIUM INCREASES/POLICY AMENDMENTS:
The Administrators reserve the right to increase premiums or amend the policy cover at their discretion. Notice of any premium increases or cover
amendments will be given in writing 31 days (one calendar month) before any such changes come into effect.
PREMIUM REFUNDS:
Should a policy be cancelled in writing within the first 31 days of the date of application (cooling off period), the premium will be refundable if it
has been deducted from my nominated bank account. If the policy is cancelled after the 31 days cooling-off period, a one calendar month written
notification period will apply and the policy will only be cancelled 31 days after the first day of the following month. I understand that my premium
will only be refunded 31 days after it has been deducted and I may need to submit supporting documentation before any refunds are granted.

business days. It is your responsibility as a client of AGS Health to read the policy and understand the policy.

Should you miss your monthly payment due, your policy will be suspended. Should you miss two payments, your policy will lapse.
PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
I hereby authorise AGS Health Ltd or appointed collection agent namely Insure Group Managers LTD t/a Epic, to deduct premiums, excess
amounts or any amounts are per the policy wording or terms and conditions of the parties. I acknowledge that failure / rejection of said debits
may result in my policy being suspended or cancelled. I agree that all payment instructions issued by the underwriter will be treated by my
nominated bank as specified in Section 9 of the application, as if the instruction has been issued by me personally.
PAYMENT:
I hereby agree and authorise the account specified in Section 9 of the application to be debited every month with the premium amount starting on
the inception date or the next business day. The inception date is deemed to mean the next occurrence of the date chosen. Should this date have
passed, the policy inception date will fall into the next calendar month. I acknowledge that premiums are collected in advance and not in arrears.
DECLINED / FAILED PAYMENTS:
Will be debited on the next debit order date, or alternatively through a special debit that may be run at any time from the date of notification by
our collection agent of the failed / returned payment as mentioned above. I acknowledge that in the event of declined / failed debits, I may incur
additional bank charges as levied by my bank. Should the payment be returned once, the policy cover will be suspended, and the policy may be
re-dated to begin on the first of the following month. The policy may be suspended but a member has a right to still enjoy the benefits (arrear
premiums can be subtracted from the benefit amount payable). A Grace period of 15 days from Inception Date will apply to this policy. I hereby
grant permission to the Administrator to double debit my account in the event of a rejected payment. If this double payment is returned, no
further attempts will be made to collect premiums and cover will be cancelled with immediate effect.
EXCESSIVE CLAIMS:
I understand that should my claims history be deemed excessive; a policy increase may be levied on my premium. This increase is at the
discretion of the Administrators and subject to a 30 day (one calendar month) written notice period.
HEALTH LOADING:
I accept and understand that pre-existing conditions (known or unknown) may be excluded and/or may increase my monthly contribution.
POLICY DELIVERY:
The policy documents, membership cards (if requested), policy guides and associated documents will be sent out within thirty days after the
successful collection of my first premium. The information in the policy wording as well as in all declarations made will form the basis of the
contract, and it is warranted by AGS Health that such information is accurate. This policy, however, shall not be invalidated on account of any
incorrect statement made in good faith, unless the incorrectness of such statement is of such a nature as to be likely to have materially affected
