  • You have answered the previous questions truthfully. Where the questions relate to other interested parties, you have ensured that the answers provided are correct and complete.

  • If you have not complied, or have not fully complied, with this duty of disclosure, this may, pursuant to Sections 7:928 and 7:930 of the Dutch Civil Code, lead to limitation or even exclusion of the right to a benefit payment.

  • If you have intentionally provided incorrect information or omitted information on the basis of which the insurer would not have concluded the insurance, the insurer has the right to terminate your insurance pursuant to Section 7:929 of the Dutch Civil Code.

Honest and correct

You have answered all questions honestly and correctly, including when you completed the details for someone else. We call this the duty of disclosure.

Have you provided incorrect information or failed to mention important information? Then the insurer may limit or terminate the insurance. This may be done pursuant to Sections 7:928 and 7:930 of the Dutch Civil Code.

Motor vehicle registration number

If you have taken out insurance for a motor vehicle, you have honestly and correctly declared that the applicant for the insurance and the registered keeper of this motor vehicle are the same natural person and/or legal entity.

Registration of personal data

  • The Netherlands Vehicle Authority (RDW)

  • Service providers in the field of credit registration

In addition, RISK consults and records your personal data with the Central Information System Foundation (CIS). This is done for prospective policyholders, liable parties, drivers, injured parties and witnesses in a claims file.

Cancelling your insurance

Do you want to cancel the insurance? If so, you must notify us in writing (by letter or email) within 14 days of receiving the policy. If you report a claim within these 14 days that is reimbursed under the terms and conditions, you can no longer cancel the insurance.

Possession of a valid driving licence

If you have taken out insurance for a motor vehicle, you confirm that the driver holds a valid driving licence for this motor vehicle.

Anti-fraud policy

When taking out a financial product such as insurance, customers place their trust in us, whether or not through an insurance adviser. That trust forms the basis for a sustainable relationship. Unfortunately, insurance is sometimes abused within the insurance sector. That is why we do everything we can to prevent and investigate fraud. Fraud and combating fraud cost money and affect insurance premiums. In addition, insurers require us to maintain an anti-fraud policy that aligns with their policy.

What is fraud

We apply the following definition: the misuse of an insurance product or service by the policyholder, insured person or beneficiary in order to obtain a benefit payment (in money or in kind) to which there is no entitlement. This may include, among other things:

  • Incorrectly answering questions when applying for insurance

  • Concealing a criminal history

  • Providing an incorrect claims history

  • Failing to report a previous insurance termination

  • Misrepresenting damage when reporting a claim

  • Submitting incorrect invoices or repair bills

What policy do we apply

We do not tolerate any form of fraud. We therefore apply, among other things, the following measures:

  • Employees are made aware of fraud indicators and checks

  • A fraud coordinator has been appointed within our organisation

  • Every quotation, application or amendment is checked in the Fraud and Information System Holland (FISH)

  • We use external and public sources to detect fraud

  • If fraud is suspected, we take immediate action and inform the insurer

Consequences of fraud

If we establish that fraud has occurred, the following measures may be taken, among others:

  • Termination of ongoing insurance policy/policies

  • Refusal of future insurance applications

  • No reimbursement of a reported claim

  • Recovery of previously paid claim amounts

  • Recovery of investigation costs

  • Registration of personal data in internal and/or external registers

  • Reporting the fraud case to the police


Registers may be consulted by financial institutions in the Netherlands. More information can be found at Stichting CIS.

Recovery of costs in case of fraud

For internal investigation costs relating to claims, we charge a standard compensation amount of €532. This amount is recovered by SODA (Service Organisation for Direct Liability). In addition, on behalf of the insurer, SODA may also recover other costs incurred or claim payments made in error. If fraud is established when applying for insurance, we may charge internal costs of €101. More information about SODA can be found at www.so-da.nl.
