CUSTOMER ADVISORY
REGARDING THE ENFORCEMENT OF
ECONOMIC EMBARGOES AND TRADE SANCTIONS

This Trade Sanction Advisory is part of AIG Insurance Company of Canada comprehensive compliance program and is meant to serve as a reminder of the existing applicable legal requirements with respect to Trade Sanctions.

Your rights as a policyholder and payments to you, any insured or claimant, for loss under this policy may be affected by the administration and enforcement of economic embargoes and trade sanctions applicable to you, any insured, claimant and/or to the insurer and their respective controlling entities (hereinafter “Trade Sanctions”).

WHAT IS AN ECONOMIC EMBARGO AND/OR TRADE SANCTION?

Trade Sanctions involve the imposition by a country of legal measures to restrict or prohibit trade, services or other economic activity with a target country, entity or individual. For example, the Parliament of Canada has enacted legislation authorizing the imposition of Trade Sanctions through the United Nations Act, the Special Economic Measures Act and some provisions of the Export and Import Permits Act.

Depending upon the identity, domicile, place of incorporation or nationality of the policyholder, insured, claimant, insurer, or the parent company and ultimate controlling entity of the policyholder, insured, claimant or insurer, or the country where the claim arises, Trade Sanctions of foreign countries, including the United States of America, may be applicable. The application of sanctions could necessitate the seizure or freezing of property, including but not limited to the payment of a claim.

Existing Trade Sanctions can be amended, and new Trade Sanctions can be imposed, at any time.

OBLIGATIONS PLACED ON US AS A RESULT OF TRADE SANCTIONS

If we determine that you or any insured, additional insured, loss payee, or claimant are on a prohibited list or are connected to a sanctioned country, entity or individual, or a prohibited activity, as designated by the relevant Trade Sanction, we may be required to comply with the requirements of the applicable Trade Sanction, which by way of example, may include blocking or “freezing” property and payment of any funds and the reporting of such occurrences to the relevant authorities within the prescribed time periods, if any.

POTENTIAL ACTIONS BY US

Depending upon the requirements of the relevant Trade Sanction:

We may be required to immediately cancel your coverage effective on the day that we determine that we have transacted business with an individual or entity associated with your policy on a prohibited list or connected to a sanctioned country as described in the relevant Trade Sanction.

If we cancel your coverage, you may not receive a return premium unless permitted pursuant to the relevant Trade Sanction. All blocked or frozen funds will be placed in an interest bearing blocked account established on the books of a financial institution.

We may not pay a claim, accept premium or exchange monies or assets of any kind to or with individuals, entities or companies (including a bank) on a prohibited list or connected to, or carrying on business in, a sanctioned country as designated by the relevant Trade Sanction. Furthermore, we may not defend or provide any other benefits under your policy to individuals, entities or companies on a prohibited list or connected to, or carrying on business in, a sanctioned country as designated by the relevant Trade Sanction.
