Contest expenses definition

Contest expenses are interest payable as a result of any delay, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and investigation expenses of the contest incurred prior to full settlement by the Ceding Company, and do not include salaries of the Ceding Company's employees and officers or the Ceding Company's normal claim administration costs. The Pool member shall not share in noncontractual damages or any legal or investigative expenses related thereto. Noncontractual damages include punitive, exemplary, compensatory or consequential damages assessed on the basis of fault or wrongdoing on the part of the Ceding Company, its agents or representatives. The Pool will refund any unearned premium to the Ceding Company for premiums paid beyond the date of death of any covered insured. The Ceding Company shall notify the Pool member(s) of its intention to contest or compromise a claim involving reinsurance. If the Pool member(s) does not consent to the contest or compromise, the full amount of reinsurance will be paid to the Ceding Company, and will absolve the Pool member(s) of any further liability under said claim. In the event of any adjustment in the amount of any claim due to misstatement of age or sex of the insured, the reinsurance will be reissued as of the original policy date at the correct age. The Pool member(s) and the Ceding Company will participate in such increase or decrease in proportion to the amount retained by the Ceding Company and reinsured by the Pool member(s) prior to the adjustment. A corresponding adjustment in reinsurance premiums will be made consistent with the charges or credit to the policyholder. If a claim is approved for Disability benefits reinsured hereunder, the Ceding Company will continue to pay reinsurance premiums except the premium for disability reinsurance. The Pool member(s) will pay the Ceding Company its proportionate share of reinsured Disability benefits, including the premiums for benefits that remain in effect during disability.
