  • Clause 18-82. Insurance period/Ref. Clause 1-5

    The insurance remains in effect until the date stipulated as the completion of the Project. If actual completion is delayed, the insurance will automatically be extended subject to a pro rata additional premium or as agreed in the insurance contract until the actual date of completion but not in excess of nine months.
