Final Answer :
An incontestability clause provides that after a policy has been in force for a specified length of time, usually two or three years, the insurer cannot contest statements made in the application.
An arbitration clause calls for the arbitration of disputes that may arise between the insurer and the insured concerning the settlement of claims.
A multiple-insurance-policies clause provides that if the insured has multiple insurance policies that cover the same property and the amount of coverage exceeds the loss, the loss will be shared proportionately by the insurance companies.
