Hazard Increase Resulting In Suspension Or Exclusion Of Coverage
Definition of "Hazard increase resulting in suspension or exclusion of coverage"
Provision commonly found in fire insurance contracts. If the insured knows that a hazard is increased, most property contracts permit the insurance company to suspend or terminate coverage.
