There can be no abandonment of any property to us. B. Appraisal If we and you disagree on the value of the prop- erty or the amount of loss, either may make written demand for an appraisal of the loss. In this event, each party will select a competent and impartial appraiser. The two appraisers will select an um- pire. If they cannot agree, either may request that selection be made by a judge of a court having ju- risdiction. The appraisers will state separately the value of the property and amount of loss. If they fail to agree, they will submit their differences to the umpire. A decision agreed to by any two will be binding. Each party will: 1. Pay its chosen appraiser; and 2. Bear the other expenses of the appraisal and umpire equally. If there is an appraisal, we will still retain our right to deny the claim. C. Duties In The Event Of Loss You must see that the following are done in the event of loss or damage to Covered Property: 1. Notify the police if a law may have been bro- ken. 2.

Take all reasonable steps to protect the Cov- ered Property from further damage, and keep a record of your expenses necessary to protect the Covered Property, for consideration in the settlement of the claim.
