The Insured Party must not make any admission, offer or promise in connection with any claim and must not any time admit liability. Important Conditions (continued) The Insured Party must made themselves aware of and comply with the following Notices:Duty of Disclosure Before you enter into a contract of General insurance with an insurer, you have a duty, under the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 as amended, to disclose to the insurer every matter that you know, or could reasonably be expected to know, is relevant to the insurer’s decision whether to accept the risk of the insurance and, if so, on what terms. You have the same duty to disclose these matters to the insurer before you renew, extend, vary or reinstate a contract of General insurance. Your duty however, does not require disclosure of matter:that diminishes the risk to be undertaken by the insurer that is of common knowledge that your insurer knows or, in the ordinary course of his business, ought to know. Non-Disclosure If you fail to comply with your duty of disclosure, the insurer may be entitled to reduce his liability under the contract in respect of a claim or may cancel the contract. If your non-disclosure is fraudulent, the insurer may also have the option of avoiding the contract from its beginning. Average Provision The insurer will pay legal expenses in addition to the sum insured, if however, the total amount of the loss (less legal expenses) ultimately paid to the claimant(s) exceeds the sum insured then insurers will only pay (in addition to the sum insured) that proportion of the legal expenses as the sum insured bears to the loss.

Waiver of Insurer’s Rights You must not enter into any agreement without the written authority of the insurer whereby any of their rights to which they become entitled as your insurer after settling or agreeing to settle a claim are prejudiced or limited in any way otherwise all benefit under the policy will be forfeited.

However, it isn’t just large businesses that get behind the Show – hundreds of small businesses, clubs and individuals sponsor prizes in our competitive sections. Royal Show general manager Michelle Hocking said the Show had strong relationships with many South Australian businesses, all of whom play a vital role in ensuring the continued success of our State’s largest event. “From our presenting partner sponsor IGA to premier partners Channel Seven, Coca-Cola and BankSA, right through to small businesses who sponsor particular prizes or awards, the support from the South Australian community is wonderful,” she said. I sponsor a prize at the Royal Adelaide Show to return something to the Society i.e. Dairy Goat Society of Australia and the RA&HS; as both have offered me opportunity to travel Australia as a Dairy Goat Judge, meeting great friends and having many unique experiences. My first Royal Show was in 1960 and I was recently awarded a 50 year continuous membership reconition badge with the Dairy Goat Society of Australia both of which I am extremely proud. Bob Battams – Dairy Goats “However, in addition to the many businesses who support the Show, there are lots of community groups and individuals who sponsor the Show’s competitive section. According to Michelle, individuals, community groups and businesses can sponsor a prize from as little as $50. “The prize can be in the form of cash, a medallion, trophy, voucher or product,” she said. “You also get to name the prize after your business, group or even yourself. You can also dedicate it to a loved one or name it in memory of someone special.” With competitions ranging from flowers, cuddly toys and painting to dragsters, woodwork and reptiles, there really is a section for everyone. “Perhaps your mum baked the best cakes, maybe your family loves a particular breed of dog, or perhaps you simply love chocolate,” Michelle said. “For example, the RA&HS chief executive has a passion for chocolate and therefore sponsors the Champion Chocolate prize; our sponsorship manager loves cats and names a prize after her pet cat Felice and our venue manager has naming rights to the Champion Turkey! “Our competitive sections are the lifeblood of the Show and sponsoring a prize is a fun way to get involved.” 22 Individuals, families or groups who are interested in sponsoring a prize at the 2016 or 2017 Royal Adelaide Show should fill in the ‘register an interest’ on the Show website - theshow.com.au, or contact the Sponsorship Coordinator Roz Becker on (08) 8210 5284, email [email protected]
