The policy and application constitute the complete agreement between the policyowner and the insurer. This is known as which provision?

• A. Entire Contract Provision
• B. Endorsement Clause
• C. Nonrenewal Clause
• D. Assignment Clause

Answer: (A)

The Entire Contract provision states that the policy document, along with any riders or endorsements (and often the application if attached), forms the complete contract between the policyowner and the insurer. This means nothing outside the written policy—such as statements from the application or prior conversations—can alter the agreement unless it’s included in writing in the policy. Changes to the contract must be made through a written endorsement signed by the insurer. This description fits the idea that the policy and application together constitute the entire agreement. Endorsement, nonrenewal, and assignment provisions pertain to adding riders, renewing terms, or transferring rights, respectively, and do not address the completeness of the contract.
