A municipal transit authority purchases a commercial liability policy. The contract is drafted entirely by the insurance carrier with no room for negotiation. The transit authority pays a 2,000,000 in the event of a covered loss, provided the transit authority immediately reports any accidents.
Based on the distinctive legal characteristics of insurance contracts, which of the following statements are correct? (Select all that apply)
- The agreement is an aleatory contract because the monetary values exchanged between the two parties are substantially unequal.Cevap
- The agreement is a conditional contract because the insurer's obligation to pay claims depends on the transit authority fulfilling specific duties, such as reporting accidents.Cevap
- CBecause this is a contract of adhesion, any vague or ambiguous language found in the policy provisions will be legally interpreted in favor of the insurance carrier.
- DLegal consideration in this contract is provided only by the transit authority's premium payment, since the insurer has not yet transferred any money.
