loss, either party can demand that the amount of the loss
be set by appraisal. Only you or we may demand ap-
praisal. A demand for appraisal must be in writing. You
must comply with SECTION I – CONDITIONS, Your
Duties After Loss
before making a demand for ap-
praisal. At least 10 days before demanding appraisal, the
party seeking appraisal must provide the other party with
written, itemized documentation of a specific dispute as
to the amount of the loss, identifying separately each
item being disputed.
a. Each party will select a competent, disinterested
appraiser and notify the other party of the ap-
praiser’s identity within 20 days of receipt of the
written demand for appraisal.
b. The appraisers will then attempt to set the
amount of the loss of each item in dispute as
specified by each party, and jointly submit to
each party a written report of agreement signed
by them. In all instances the written report of
agreement will be itemized and state separately
the actual cash value, replacement cost, and if
applicable, the market value of each item in dis-
pute.
The written report of agreement will set the
amount of the loss of each item in dispute.
21 H6-2136

c. If the two appraisers fail to agree upon the
amount of the loss within 30 days, unless the pe-
riod of time is extended by mutual agreement, they
will select a competent, disinterested umpire and
will submit their differences to the umpire. If the
appraisers are unable to agree upon an umpire
within 15 days:
(1) you or we may make a written application
for a judge of a court of record in the same
state and county (or city if the city is not
within a county) where the residence
premises is located to select an umpire;
(2) the party requesting the selection de-
scribed in item c.(1) must provide the other
party:
(a) written notice of the intent to file,
identifying the specific location and
identity of the court at least 10 days
prior to submission of the written ap-
plication; and

(3) a written report of agreement, as required
in item b., signed by any two (appraisers or
appraiser and umpire) will set the amount
of the loss of each item in dispute. In all
instances the written report of agreement
will be itemized and state separately the
actual cash value, replacement cost, and
if applicable, the market value of each item
in dispute.
d. To qualify as an appraiser or umpire for a loss to
building property, a person must be one of the

mating, or investigation of the type of prop-
erty damage in dispute;

ence and training in estimating the type of
property damage in dispute; or
(3) a contractor with experience and training in
the construction, repair, and estimating of
the type of property damage in dispute.
e. A person may not serve as an appraiser or um-
pire if that person, any employee of that person,
that person’s employer, or any employee of their
employer:
(1) has performed services for either party with
respect to the claim at issue in the ap-
praisal; or
(2) has a financial interest in the outcome of
the claim at issue in the appraisal.
f. Each party will be responsible for the compen-
sation of their selected appraiser. Reasonable
expenses of the appraisal and the reasonable
compensation of the umpire will be paid equally
by you and us.
g. You and we do not waive any rights by demand-
ing or submitting to an appraisal, and retain all
contractual rights to determine if coverage applies
to each item in dispute.
h. Appraisal is only available to determine the
amount of the loss of each item in dispute. The
appraisers and the umpire have no authority to
decide:
(1) any other questions of fact;
(2) questions of law;
(3) questions of coverage;
(4) other contractual issues; or
(5) to conduct appraisal on a class-wide basis.
i. Appraisal is a non-judicial proceeding and does not
provide for or require arbitration. Neither party will
be awarded attorney fees. The appraisal award
may not be entered as a judgment in a court.
j. A party may not demand appraisal after that
party brings suit or action against the other party
relating to the amount of loss.
5. a. Other Insurance (with respect to all coverages
except COVERAGE D – LOSS ASSESS-
MENT). If a loss covered by this policy is also
covered by other insurance, except insurance in
the name of the condominium, we will pay only
our share of the loss. Our share is the propor-
tion of the loss that the applicable limit under this
policy bears to the total amount of insurance
covering the loss.
22 H6-2136
©, Copyright, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, 2017
If, at the time of loss, there is other insurance in
the name of the condominium covering the
same property covered by this policy, this insur-
ance will be excess over the amount recovera-
ble under such other insurance.
b. Other Insurance (with respect to COVERAGE D –
LOSS ASSESSMENT). If a loss covered by this
policy is also covered by other insurance, this in-
surance shall be excess over other insurance in the
name of the condominium covering the same
property covered by this policy.
6. Suit Against Us. No action will be brought against
us unless there has been full compliance with all of
the policy provisions. Any action by any party must
be started within one year after the date of loss or
damage. However, if the cause of loss or damage is
burglary, theft, larceny, robbery, forgery, fraud, van-
dalism, malicious mischief, confiscation, wrongful
conversion, disposal or concealment, the action must
be started within two years from the time the cause
of action accrues.
7. Our Option. We may repair or replace any part of
the property damaged or stolen with similar property.
Any property we pay for or replace becomes our
property.
8. Loss Payment. We will adjust all losses with you.
We will pay you unless some other person is named
in the policy or is legally entitled to receive payment.
Loss will be payable
:
a. 60 days after we receive your proof of loss and:
(1) reach agreement with you; or
(2) there is a filing of an appraisal award with
us; or
b. 30 days after we receive your proof of loss and
there is an entry of a final judgment.
9. Abandonment of Property. We need not accept
any property abandoned by an insured.
10. Mortgagee Clause. The word “mortgagee” includes
trustee.
a. If a mortgagee is named in this policy, any loss pay-
able under Coverage A will be paid to the mortga-
gee and you, as interests appear. If more than one
mortgagee is named, the order of payment will be
the same as the order of precedence of the mort-
gages.
b. If we deny your claim, that denial will not ap-
ply to a valid claim of the mortgagee, if the
mortgagee:
(1) notifies us of any change in ownership, oc-
cupancy, or substantial change in risk of
which the mortgagee is aware;
(2) pays on demand any premium due under
this policy, if you have not paid the premium;
and
(3) submits a signed, sworn statement of loss
within 60 days after receiving notice from
us of your failure to do so. Policy condi-
tions relating to Appraisal, Suit Against
Us, and Loss Payment apply to the mort-
gagee.
c. If we cancel this policy, the mortgagee will be
notified at least 10 days before the date cancel-
lation takes effect. Proof of mailing will be proof
of notice.
d. If we pay the mortgagee for any loss and deny
payment to you:
(1) we are subrogated to all the rights of the
mortgagee granted under the mortgage on
the property; or
(2) at our option, we may pay to the mortgagee
the whole principal on the mortgage plus any
accrued interest. In this event, we will receive
a full assignment and transfer of the mortgage
and all securities held as collateral to the
mortgage debt.
e. Subrogation does not impair the right of the
mortgagee to recover the full amount of the
mortgagee’s claim.
11.
No Benefit to Bailee. We will not recognize an as-
signment or grant coverage for the benefit of a person
or organization holding, storing, or transporting prop-
erty for a fee. This applies regardless of any other
provision of this policy.
12. Recovered Property. If either you or we recover
any property after loss settlement, that party must
give the other prompt notice. At your option, you
23 H6-2136
©, Copyright, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, 2017
may keep the property or we will return it to you. Oth-
erwise, it will become our property. If you choose to
keep the property, the loss payment will be adjusted
based on the amount you received for the recovered
property.
13. Assignment of Claim. Assignment to another party
of any of your rights or duties under this policy re-
garding any claim, or any part of any claim, will be
void and we will not recognize any such assignment,
unless we give our written consent. However, once
you have complied with all policy provisions, you
may assign to another party, in writing, payment of
claim proceeds otherwise payable to you.
14. Glass Replacement. Loss for damage to glass
caused by a loss insured will be settled on the basis
of replacement with safety glazing materials when re-
quired by ordinance or law.

SECTION II – CONDITIONS
1. Limit of Liability. The Coverage L limit is shown in
the Declarations. This is the limit for all damages
from each occurrence for the policy period in which
the bodily injury or property damage first occurs,
regardless of the number of insureds, claims made,
or persons injured. No additional limits or coverage
will be available for the occurrence under any addi-
tional policy periods while this policy remains in force.
The Coverage M limit is shown in the Declarations.
This is our limit for all medical expenses for bodily
injury to one person as the result of one accident.
2. Severability of Insurance. This insurance applies
separately to each insured. This condition does not
increase our limit of liability for any one occurrence.
3. Duties After Loss. In case of an accident or occur-
rence, the insured must cooperate with us in the in-
vestigation, settlement, or defense of any claim or
suit and also perform the following duties that apply.
You must cooperate with us in seeing that these du-
ties are performed:
a. give written notice to us or our agent as soon as
possible, which sets forth:
(1) the identity of this policy and the insured;
(2) reasonably available information on the
time, place, and circumstances of the acci-
dent or occurrence; and
(3) names and addresses of any claimants and
available witnesses;

b. immediately forward to us every notice, de-
mand, summons, or other process relating to the
accident or occurrence;
c. at our request, assist in:
(1) making settlement;

who may be liable to an insured;

AGES, Damage to Property of Others, exhibit
the damaged property if within the insured’s
control; and
e. the insured must not, except at the insured’s
own cost, voluntarily make payments, assume
obligations, or incur expenses. This does not
apply to expense for first aid to others at the time
of the bodily injury.
4. Coverage M Requirements. We may require the fol-
lowing in regard to any Coverage M claim:
a. written proof of claim, under oath if required, as
soon as possible from the injured person, or
when appropriate, someone acting on behalf of
that person;
b. the injured person’s submission to physical ex-
aminations by a physician selected by us when
and as often as we reasonably require; and
c. any authorizations from the injured person as
we may require.
5. Payment of Claim Coverage M or Damage to
Property of Others. Payment under either of these
is not an admission of liability by an insured or us.
6. Suit Against Us. No action will be brought against
us unless there has been compliance with the policy
provisions.
No one will have the right to join us as a party to an
action against an insured. Further, no action with re-
spect to Coverage L will be brought against us until
the obligation of the insured has been determined by
final judgment on the merits, after an actual trial or by
an agreement signed by us; but we will not be liable
for damages that are not payable under the terms of
this policy or that are in excess of the applicable Limit
of Liability.
7. Bankruptcy of an Insured. Bankruptcy or insolvency
of an insured
will not relieve us of our obligation un-
der this policy.
8. Other Insurance – Coverage L. This insurance is
excess over any other valid and collectible insur-
ance except insurance written specifically to cover
as excess over the limits of liability that apply in this
policy.
