The limit of liability shown in the Declarations for this coverage is for combined bodily injury and property damage liability. It is the maximum limit of liability for all damages resulting from any one auto accident.

This is the most the company will pay regardless of the number of:

  1. Covered persons;
  2. Claims made;
  3. Vehicles or premiums shown in the Declarations;

The mailing of notice as aforesaid shall be sufficient proof of notice. The time of the surrender or the effective date of cancellation stated in the notice shall become the end of the policy period. Delivery of such written notice either by the named insured or by the company shall be equivalent to mailing.

If the name insured cancels, earned premium shall be computed in accordance with the Company’s customary short rate table and procedure. If the company cancels, earned premium shall be computed pro rata. Premium adjustment may be made either at the time cancellation is effected or as soon as practicable after cancellation becomes effective, but payment or tender of unearned premium is not a condition of cancellation.
