Section8– General Conditions
False Claim
If You or an Insured Person make a claim knowing it to be false or
fraudulent in any respect, neither You nor the Insured Person will be entitled
to the beneits of this coverage, nor to the payment of any claim under the
Group Policy.
Group Policy
All beneits under this Certiicate are subject in every respect to the Group
Policy, which alone constitutes the agreement under which beneits will be
provided. This Group Policy is issued to the Bank. The principal provisions
of the Group Policy aecting Insured Persons are summarized in this
Certiicate. The Group Policy is on ile at the oice of the Bank. In no event
does possession of multiple certiicates or TDCredit Cards entitle an
Insured Person to beneits in excess of those described herein.
Legal Action Limitation Period
Every action or proceeding against the Insurer for the recovery of
insurance money payable under the contract is absolutely barred unless
commenced within the time set out in the Insurance Act (for actions
or proceedings governed by the laws of Alberta or British Columbia),
The Insurance Act (for actions or proceedings governed by the laws of
Manitoba), the Limitations Act, 2002 (for actions or proceedings governed
by the laws of Ontario), or other applicable legislation. For actions or
proceedings governed by the laws of Quebec, the prescriptive period is set
out in the Civil Code of Quebec.
Other Insurance
All of Our coverages are excess insurance, meaning that any other sources
of recovery You have will pay irst, and this insurance policy will be the
last to pay. The total beneits payable under all Your insurance, including
this Certiicate, cannot be more than the actual expenses for a claim. If
an Insured Person is also insured under any other insurance certiicate or
policy, We will coordinate payment of beneits with the other insurer.
69
Right of Subrogation
T
here may be circumstances where another person or entity should have
paid You for a loss but instead We paid You for the loss. If this occurs, You
agree to co-operate with Us so We may demand payment from the person
or entity who should have paid You for the loss.
This may include:
transferring to Us the debt or obligation owing to You from the other
person or entity; or
• permitting Us to bring a lawsuit in Your name; or
• if You receive funds from the other person or entity, You will hold it in
trust for Us; or
acting so as not to prejudice any of Our rights to collect payment from
the other person or entity.
We w
ill pay the costs for the actions We take.

Section1– Introduction
Certiicate of Insurance
The Certiicate below applies to the TDFirstClass Travel Visa Ininite Card,
which will be referred to as a “TDCredit Card” throughout the Certiicate.
Please read this Certiicate carefully. It outlines what Collision/Loss
Damage Insurance is and what is covered along with the conditions under
which a payment will be made when You rent and operate a rental vehicle
but do not accept the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or its equivalent
oered by the Rental Agency. It also provides instructions on how to make
a claim. This Certiicate should be kept in a safe place and carried with You
when You travel.
TDHome and Auto Insurance Company (referred to in this Certiicate
as the “Insurer”), provides the insurance for this Certiicate under
Policy TDV092010 (referred to in this Certiicate as the “Policy”). Our
Administrator administers the insurance on behalf of TDHome and Auto
Insurance Company, and provides claims assistance, claims payment and
administrative services under the Group Policy.
This Certiicate is not a contract of insurance. It contains only a summary
of the principal provisions of the Policy.
All beneits are subject in every respect to the Policy which alone
constitutes the Agreement under which payments are made. This
Certiicate contains a clause which may limit the amount payable.
This coverage may be cancelled, changed or modiied at the option of the
card issuer or the Insurer Company with at least 30days written notice to
the Primary Cardholder.

applies only to the Insured Person’s personal and business use of the
rental vehicle.
Your TDCredit Card must be in good standing.
You must initiate and complete the entire rental transaction with the
same TDCreditCard.
The full cost of the rental must be charged to Your TDCredit Card to
activate coverage.
Coverage is limited to one rental vehicle at a time, i.e.,if during the
same period there is more than one vehicle rented by the Cardholder,
only the irst rental will be eligible for these beneits.
The length of time You rent the same vehicle or vehicles must not
exceed 48consecutive days, which follow one immediately after the
other. In order to break the consecutive day cycle, a full calendar
day must exist between rental periods. If the rental period exceeds
48consecutive days, coverage will not be provided from the irst
day onwards, e.g.,coverage will not be provided for either the irst
74
48consecutive days or any subsequent days. Coverage may not
b
e extended for more than 48days by renewing or taking out a new
rental agreement with the same or another Rental Agency for the
same vehicle or another vehicle.
Coverage is limited to loss/damage to, or theft of a rental vehicle
only up to the rental vehicles actual cash value plus valid Loss of Use
charges.
• The Cardholder must decline on the rental contract the CDW option
or its equivalent oered by the Rental Agency. (The Collision/Loss
Damage Insurance coverage does not pay for the premium charged
by the Rental Agency for the CDW oered by the Rental Agency.)
Most vehicles are covered by the Policy. (A list of vehicles excluded
from this coverage is outlined in the subsection “Types of Vehicles
Covered”.)
Collision/Loss Damage (CLD) Insurance provides coverage when You
use Your TDCredit Card to pay for the full cost of a rental vehicle and
decline the CDW (or an equivalent coverage) oered by the Rental
Agency. There is no additional charge for the CLD Insurance. The
coverage compensates You or a Rental Agency for loss/damages up
to the actual cash value of the rented vehicle and valid Rental Agency
Loss of Use charges when the conditions described below are met.
Coverage is available except where prohibited by law.
Claims must be reported within 48hours of the damage/loss
occurring by calling 18663741129 (toll-free) from Canada or the
U.S., or +14169774425 (collect) from other countries.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING COVERAGE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY
FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS.
CLD Insurance is primary insurance (except for losses that may be
waived or assumed by the Rental Agency or their insurer, and in such
circumstances where local government insurance legislation states
otherwise) which pays the amount for which You are liable to the Rental
Agency up to the actual cash value of the damaged or stolen rental
vehicle as well as valid Loss of Use charges resulting from damage or theft
occurring while You are the renter of the rental vehicle.
The length of time You rent the same vehicle or vehicles must not exceed
48consecutive days. If You rent the same vehicle or vehicles for more than
48consecutive days, no coverage is provided for any part of your rental
period.

It is important to note that You remain responsible for the damage/loss and
that You may be contacted in the future to answer inquiries resulting from
the claims process. The rental agent may fax the required documentation

Original documentation may also be required in some instances. (If You
have any questions, are having any diiculties, or would like the claims
Administrator to be involved immediately, call the number provided above).

reasonably require to secure its rights and remedies. This may include
providing Your signature on all necessary documents that enable the

79
Section9– Helpful Hints
Before You rent a vehicle, ind out if You are required to provide a deposit
if You wish to decline the Rental Agency’s CDW. If possible, select a Rental
Agency which provides an excellent rate AND allows You to decline the
CDW without having to make a deposit.
Rental Agencies in some countries may resist Your declining their CDW
coverage. These Rental Agencies may try to encourage You to take their
coverage or to provide a deposit. If You experience diiculty using Your
CLD Insurance coverage, please call 18663741129 (toll-free) from
Canada or the U.S., or +14169774425 (collect) from other countries and
provide:
the name of the Rental Agency involved;
• the Rental Agency’s address;
the date of the rental;
the name of the Rental Agency representative with whom You spoke,
and Your rental contract number.
The Rental Agency will then be contacted and acquainted with the CLD
Insurance coverage.
In certain locations, the law requires that Rental Agencies provide Collision
Damage Coverage in the price of the vehicle rental. In these locations (and
in Costa Rica or elsewhere where Cardholders may be required to accept
CDW), the CLD Insurance will provide coverage for any required deductible
provided that all the procedures outlined in the Certiicate are followed
and the Rental Agency’s Deductible Waiver has been declined on the rental
contract.
You will not be compensated for any payment You may have made to
obtain the Rental Agency’s CDW.
Check the rental vehicle carefully for scratches or dents before and after
Yo
u drive the vehicle. Be sure to point out where the scratches or dents are
located to a Rental Agency representative.
If the vehicle has sustained damage of any kind, immediately phone one
of the numbers provided and do not sign a blank sales draft to cover the
damage and Loss of Use charges or, a sales draft with an estimated cost
of repair and Loss of Use charges. The rental agent may make a claim
on Your behalf to recover repair and Loss of Use charges by following the
procedures outlined in Section7– “In the Event of an Accident/Theft”.
