<dc:description xml:lang='en'>An insurance contract is a “contract under which one party (the insurer) accepts significant insur-
ance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified
uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder.
In a contract of adhesion, one party draws up the contract in its entirety and presents it to the other
party on a ‘take it or leave it’ basis. The receiving party does not have the option of negotiating, revis-
ing, or deleting any part or provision of the document. Insurance contracts are of this type, because the
insurer writes the contract and the insured either ‘adheres’ to it or is denied coverage.
Although all contracts ideally should be executed in good faith, insurance contracts are held to an even
higher standard, requiring the utmost of this quality between the parties. Due to the nature of an insurance
agreement, each party needs – and is legally entitled – to rely upon the representations and declarations of
the other. Each party must have a reasonable expectation that the other party is not attempting to defraud,
mislead, or conceal information and is indeed conducting themselves in good faith.
