Each indemnity paid, as per partial damage, reduces the insurance sum, except for the cases with provided regression. In case of paid indemnity, the Insured person has the right and it is advisable to re-insure the MV up to the initially determined insurance sum by paying an additional premium. Otherwise, the Insurers apply the principle of under-insurance and reduce the indemnities for subsequent damages by a relevant percentage.

The insurance premium is determined by the Insurer based on the covers, chosen by the insured person. The amount of the premium is determined based on tariff currently in force.
When a deferred payment of the premium is agreed and in case of occurrence of insured event, the unpaid deferred installments become required. The Insurer will pay the indemnity after the above installments are paid.

Based on expert assessment /determined as per methods of the Insurer/
Based on presented documents for incurred expenses for the repair of the MV
