1.1 Report the loss
As soon as the named insured becomes aware of a loss that may be covered under the insurance contract, he or she must inform the insurer.
Any interested person may also give such notice to the insurer.
Failure to fulfill the obligation to report the loss will result in the loss of his or her right to indemnity for the named insured if such failure causes prejudice to the insurer.

When so requested by the insurer, the named insured will be required to inform the insurer as soon as possible of all the circumstances surrounding the loss, including:
- the probable cause of the loss;
- the nature and extent of the damage;
- the location of the described vehicle or any other property;
- the rights of any person other than the named insured;
- any other insurance contracts that may apply.
The named insured must also provide the insurer with supporting documents for such information. In addition, the insurer may require proof of the indemnity paid by the primary insurer. The named insured must declare under oath that all of the information provided is true.
If, for any serious reason, the named insured is unable to fulfil these obligations as soon as possible, the named insured will be entitled to a reasonable time in which to do so.
If the named insured fails to fulfil these obligations, any interested person may do so on the named insured’s behalf.
1.3 Consequences of deceitful representations
If a person makes a deceitful representation relating to a loss, he or she will lose any right to indemnity. The person will lose that right solely with respect to the damage caused by the occurrence of the peril to which the deceitful representation relates.

2. TIME TO REPLACE VEHICLE OR PAY INDEMNITY
Depending on the option selected, the insurer must pay the indemnity or make available to the named insured the vehicle in replacement of the described vehicle:
- within 60 days after the date on which the named insured reported the loss; or

3. RIGHT OF INSURER AFTER BEARING AMOUNT (RIGHT OF SUBROGATION)
3.1 General rule
After having borne any amount, the insurer will be subrogated to the rights of the named insured against the person responsible for the damage caused to the described vehicle. This means that the rights of the named insured are transferred to the insurer.

If the insurer cannot exercise its right of subrogation due to any act of the named insured, the insurer may be fully or partly released from its obligations towards the named insured.
3.2 Exceptions
In the following two instances, the insurer cannot ask the person responsible for the damage to reimburse it for the amount it has borne:

- the adequacy of repair or replacement of the described vehicle or any damaged parts. If their assessments differ, experts must try and agree on a common value.
Should they fail to so agree, they must submit their difference to a neutral arbitrator of their choosing, that is, an arbitrator who represents the interests of neither the insurer nor the named insured.
The insurer or the named insured must ask a competent jurisdiction where the arbitration is held to appoint the arbitrator or experts if:
- the insurer or the named insured failed to choose an expert within 30 clear days of the date of notice;
- the experts fail to choose an arbitrator within 15 clear days of their appointment; or,
- one of the experts or the arbitrator refuses to act or is unavailable.
4.3 Value of damage payable by insurer
Even if there is arbitration, the insurer will be required to pay the unchallenged portion of the value of damage. Payment must be made no later than:
within 60 days after the loss was reported; or
within 60 days after receipt by the insurer of the information or supporting documents that it requested.
However, if the validity or application of this insurance contract is being challenged, the insurer will not be required to pay such amount within the above time periods.
Following arbitration, the insurer will be required to pay the amount determined by the arbitrator within 15 days after the date on which the named insured accepted the arbitrator’s decision.
4.4 Conduct of arbitration
The arbitration must follow the procedure outlined in Articles 940 to 951.2, Code of Civil Procedure of Quebec, with the necessary modifications due to specific rules set out in the insurance contract.
As stated in Article 944.1, Code of Civil Procedure of Quebec, the arbitrator may decide which procedure to apply for arbitration. Nonetheless, the arbitrator must ensure that the rules set out in Articles 940 to 951.2, Code of Civil Procedure of Quebec are followed.
4.5 Choice of language
The arbitrator, the insurer and the named insured may use the language of their choice during the arbitration proceedings. Arrangements must be made to ensure that the proceedings are understood by everyone.
4.6 Place of arbitration proceedings
Arbitration proceedings take place in a location to be determined according to the domicile of the named insured.
4.7 Arbitrator’s decision
The arbitrator renders a decision based on the applicable laws of Quebec.
The arbitrator’s decision must be written and reasoned. It must also be signed and indicate the date and place where it was made.
The decision must be sent to the insurer and the named insured within 30 days after the date on which it was made.
4.8 Expenses and fees of arbitration
The insurer and the named insured each pay the expenses and fees of their own expert and half the expenses and fees of the arbitration proceedings.
However, if the arbitrator considers that the method for sharing the expenses and fees of the arbitration proceedings is not justified or fair in the circumstances, the arbitrator may decide otherwise.
