Cevap
The applicant's consideration consists of the payment of the initial premium amount and the truthful representations provided on the insurance application.
In an insurance contract, consideration requires a mutual exchange of value. For the applicant, this value is twofold: the payment of the initial premium and the statements (representations) made on the application. Both components must be present to bind the insurer to the contract.
