cfC Before we indemnify any additional insured they must: a. prove to us that the claim arose solely out of an act committed by you; and b. fully comply with CONDITION 1 as if they were you. Where we indemnify a third party as an additional insured under this Policy,this Policy will be primary and non-contributory to the third party's own insurance, but only if you and the third party have entered into a contract that contains a provision requiring this. Where a third party is treated as an additional insured as a result of this Condition, any claim made by that third party against you will be treated by us as if they were a third party and not as an insured. 3. Agreement to pay claims(dutyto defend) We have the right and duty to take control of and conduct in your name the investigation, settlement or defense of any claim. We will not have any duty to pay costs and expenses for any part of a claim that is not covered by this Policy. You may ask the claims managers to consider appointing your own lawyer to defend the claim on your behalf and the claims managers may grant your request if they consider your lawyer is suitably qualified by experience, taking into account the subject matter of the claim, and the cost to provide a defense. We will endeavor to settle any claim through negotiation, mediation or some other form of alternative dispute resolution and will pay on your behalf the amount we agree with the claimant. If we cannot settle using these means,we will pay the amount which you are found liable to pay either in court or through arbitration proceedings,subject to the limit of liability. We will not settle any claim without your consent. If you refuse to provide your consent to a settlement recommended by us and elect to continue legal proceedings in connection with the claim, any further costs and expenses incurred will be paid by you. As a consequence of your refusal, our liability for the claim will not be more than the amount for which the claim could have been settled had you consented, plus any costs and expenses incurred prior to the date of your refusal. 4. Application warranty You agree that all statements made by you in the application form, including any renewal application form, and any supplemental materials you have supplied in support of the application for insurance, are your agreements and representations to us and the Policy is issued in reliance upon that information. The misrepresentation or non-disclosure of any matter byyou or your agent will render this Policy null and void and relieve us from all liability under this Policy. ;1^�C inC�..
