Which term describes a clause that clarifies an insurer's promise or an insured's duty?

• A. Warranty
• B. Endorsement
• C. Condition
• D. Exclusion

Answer: (C)

Conditions are clauses that spell out what the insured must do or what must happen for the insurer’s promise to pay to apply. They set the duties tied to coverage, such as reporting a loss promptly, preserving the property, or cooperating with the insurer during investigation. If these conditions aren’t met, coverage can be denied or limited, even if a loss occurs. That fits the idea of a clause that clarifies an insurer's promise or an insured's duty. Warranties deal with statements by the insured that must be true, endorsements are policy amendments, and exclusions remove certain coverages.
