Needs Analysis
Insurable Interest
In order for you, the policyholder, to take out insurance on an item you must have insurable interest in the item. Insurable interest means that you will
suffer a direct measurable financial loss by the fact that the item is lost or damaged. By having the noted items on cover you agree that you
have insurable interest in the items.
MiWay will indemnify you only when you have a valid claim and have supplied all the required documentation. If the item claimed for is financed, the first
payment MiWay will make will be towards the finance house.

considerations. Therefore, this policy wording is written in the first person.
My policy wording, Coversheet and any relevant attachments explain what cover I have and together
with written correspondence from and verbal agreements with MiWay form the basis of my contract.
I must read the entire policy wording and Coversheet to understand and appreciate its full meaning
and impact on me. I must ensure that all the information supplied by me, or anyone acting on my behalf,

various icons to highlight:

Scenarios (examples) are used where applicable throughout my policy wording to help me understand

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Wherever the following words or phrases appear, they will have the meanings described below:
Authorities The following are examples of authorities: South African Police Services, Metro
Police or Traffic Officers. The list must not be deemed exhaustive.
Coversheet The Coversheet (policy schedule) contains my personal details, risk(s) insured,
period of insurance, premium payable, conditions of cover and endorsements
which could be updated from time to time in order to ensure appropriate cover is
effective.
I / My / Me The policyholder named on the Coversheet and anyone acting on behalf of the
policyholder.
Period of The period of cover either annually or monthly as specified on the Coversheet and
Insurance for which premium has been received by MiWay.
Repair Repair of a dent, chip or scratch does not include polishing of the vehicle.
Changes
Any change which I make will be effective from the time and date agreed to.
If MiWay makes any changes I will be notified 31 days before the time. MiWay may give me notice
either orally, by e-mail, SMS, WhatsApp, fax or post to my email address, cellular number or postal
address noted on my Coversheet.
Page 17 of 22
WHAT MUST I PAY TO HAVE COVER?
My premium, which is noted on my Coversheet, is due and must be paid in advance monthly or
annually, depending on my period of insurance. My period of insurance is specified on my
Coversheet and runs from my preferred collection date noted on my Coversheet. My period of
insurance will not change should MiWay collect my premium on a different date.
MiWay will attempt to collect my premium from the bank account I supplied to them. Should the
collection date fall on a public holiday or Sunday, the premium may be collected on the working
day before or on the first working day thereafter.
Scenario: Where the collection date is the 25th of each month and the 25th falls on a Sunday or Public
holiday, MiWay may debit my account earlier, say on the 22 nd BUT the premium collected on the 22nd
still provides me with cover from the 25th of that month till the 24th of the following month.
MiWay may, should my premium return for any reason, attempt to collect my premium for my next
period of insurance before my preferred collection date in order to ensure payment.
Scenario: If I have a monthly policy and my preferred collection date is on the 27 th of the month, my
cover will be from the 27th until midnight of the 26th of the next month. If it happens that MiWay deducted
my premium on a different date, say on the 21st of December, my cover period will not change due to
the early collection. I will have cover from my preferred collection date, the 27th of December until
midnight on the day before my next collection date, thus 26th of January.
MiMotor Combo covers my vehicle for minor repairs of the following, caused by day-to-day motoring,
when you obtain MiWay’s prior consent:
Dents, not ripped or torn, of any part of the body panel and/or plastic/vinyl/hardened rubber trim
not exceeding an area of 15 centimetres in diameter and not extending over 2 or more adjacent
body panels.
Chips not exceeding an area of 5 millimetres in diameter.
Scratches not exceeding an area of 25 centimetres in length and not extending over 2 or more
adjacent body panels.
Windscreen chips not exceeding an area of 10 millimetres in diameter.
Where any part of the chip has cracked beyond the chip, the damage will be excluded from
cover
Where the chip impairs the driver's view.
Rim/Alloy wheel scratches not exceeding an area of 25 centimetres in length and diameter.
Damage to rims/alloy wheels and tyres.
Page 18 of 22
HOW MIWAY MAY INDEMNIFY ME?
Subject to the terms of my policy, MiWay has the option to:
► repair my vehicle, tyre and/or rim/alloy wheel through a repairer of MiWay's choice; or
► pay me cash in accordance with the amount on an invoice for the repairs carried out by an
approved repairer or quoted by a repairer of MiWay’s choice, up to the maximum amount as
noted on my Coversheet.
Page 19 of 22
► mutiny, military uprising, military or usurped power, martial law or state of siege or any other
event or cause, which determines the proclamation, or maintenance of martial law or state of
siege
► insurrection, rebellion or revolution
► any act (whether on behalf of any organisation, body or person or group of persons) calculated
or directed to overthrow or influence any state or government or any provincial, local or tribal
authority with force or by means of fear, terrorism or violence
► any act which is calculated or directed to bring about loss or damage in order to further any
political aim, objective or cause or to bring about any social or economic change or in protest
against any state or government or any provincial, local or tribal authority or for the purpose of
inspiring fear in the public or any section thereof
► any act of terrorism by any person or group, whether acting alone or under instruction
Page 20 of 22
Deliberate or Fraudulent Acts
MiWay will not pay me for a claim when I, members of my household, any person with authorised
access to my property, anybody who acts on my behalf or anyone covered under this policy,
deliberately caused the loss, damage or injury.
If I or anyone acting on my behalf submits a claim or any information or documentation relating to
any claim, which is in any way fraudulent, dishonest or inflated, all benefits under this policy in
respect of such a claim will not be paid. MiWay will reject the whole claim and all premiums paid
that have been received by MiWay will not be refunded. MiWay will cancel my entire policy
retrospectively to the reported incident date, or the actual incident date, whichever date is the
earliest.
Scenario: If MiWay receives new information at any stage and it is found that I was dishonest on a
previous claim, the previous claim will be rejected and my policy will be cancelled from the previous
reported incident date.
Dual Insurance
If I have any other insurance policies insuring the same item for the same cover, I will be paid
proportionately on a valid claim. I will still be liable to pay the full excess applicable on my claim and
no premium refund will be available to me.
The following list includes but is not limited to some of the instances when MiWay will disclose the
personal information obtained from me:
When any regulatory authority requests same;
To comply with any regulation or any legal process;
To enforce and protect MiWay’s rights and property (including intellectual property) and/or where
MiWay has a legitimate interest to do so;
When I have expressly authorised MiWay to do so; or
If MiWay undergoes a change in ownership.
Access to Personal Information within MiWay is restricted to those individuals who have a need to
access the information for MiWay’s business purposes.
I hereby give consent to MiWay to:
► retain, process, and verify my information against reputable and secure database sources and
provide to any other insurance company, any insurance information I or anyone on my behalf
or anyone covered under this policy has given MiWay regarding any insurance policy or claim
made or lodged by me, anyone acting on my behalf or anyone covered under this policy.
► retain and/or share my information for research and statistical purposes.
► process my information for the purposes of determining premium, excess and any other risk
related matter relating to this policy.
► use any available information, in order to assist MiWay in validating a claim, that is
derived from my:
o vehicle's tracking device, internal computer, dashcam, MiWay App and any
other security installed
o CCTV footage and/or any security installed at my property which is noted on
my Coversheet.
MiWay will retain my information for the prescribed period of 5 years, or for as long as required or
entitled by law, after termination of my policy, after which MiWay will de-identify (where the
information can no longer be used to identify me) my information.
Page 21 of 22
This permission clause will remain in force even after my policy has been terminated for
whatever reason and for the duration that the de-identified information is retained by
MiWay.
HOW DO I COMPLAIN?
If I am not satisfied with anything concerning my insurance policy with MiWay, I may lodge a
complaint with the internal complaints department by sending an e-mail to
complaints@miway.co.za or by calling the MiWay call centre on 0860 646464. I may request to
speak to a manager.
If I am not satisfied with the outcome of my claim and/or I do not agree with the feedback provided
by the internal complaints department/manager, I must first raise my objection with reasons in
writing to MiWay. In the case of an objection to the outcome of a claim the objection must be made
together with reasons within 90 days from the day that I first received written notification of the
outcome of my claim.
The objection must be addressed to the Disputes Resolution Department and emailed to
disputes@miway.co.za or faxed to 011 990 0001 or posted to MiWay Insurance, PostNet Suite
#382, Private Bag X121, Halfway House, 1685.
Immediately after the 90 days, irrespective of whether I have raised an objection, I have another
six months within which to sue MiWay. If I do not sue (serve summons) within this period, my right
to challenge the decision will fall away forever.
Should my complaint still not be resolved by the Dispute Resolutions Department I may approach
the Ombudsman for Short-term Insurance for assistance: PO Box 32334, Braamfontein, 2017; Tel
Number: 011 726 8900; Fax Number: 011 726 5501.
By approaching the Ombudsman for Short-term Insurance my right to issue summons will not fall
away, any remaining time of the abovementioned six months will not run out during the time the
Ombudsman has acknowledged my complaint and is dealing therewith.
Scenario: If I approach the Ombudsman for Short-term Insurance one month after I have received notification
of the outcome of my objection from MiWay's Dispute Resolutions Department, I will still have 5 months after
I receive a ruling from the Ombudsman, to sue MiWay if I want to continue disputing the outcome of my claim.
