Edited by: Annapolis on 08/02/2008 18:12:31 Edited by: Annapolis on 08/02/2008 18:11:44 I recently Lost a FULLY insured Battleship. I still had the confirmation eve mail saying it was good for another 4 weeks. However... I didn't get the full ammount. I got the ammount one gets .if you don't have it insured. Upon petition, CCP told me that i had traded the ship and thus voids the insurance. I did trade the ship for all of 5 minutes to get carrier jumped to a new system. When I traded it back, it wasn't repacked ( because my alt was the one hauling ) or even made active by the other character.
This is the insurance message from ingame when you insure a ship "The selected item will be insured while in your possession for the duration of the contract. Repackaging the item will void the contract. The contract will be considered void if the item or ship is destroyed while being in the possession of somebody else. Do you accept the above terms and still want to insure the selected item?"
It says nothing about trading a ship voiding the contract. It simply says if the ship in question is destroyed while in the possession of Somone else the contract will be considered void. After a long period of back and forth messages with GM's, they still have failed to reimburse clinging to thier stance. So I brought it here for discussion.

First, lol. Second I'm very happy to see that the general discussion forum has finally gotten veto power over GMs. I've been lobbying for this for a long time now, it's gratifying to see my visions to reality. This should be good. |

Annapolis is right.
These terms imply that the only situation in which the contract is considered void, while the ship is in your possession, is if it has been repackaged...
If you trade it to someone else, get it back and THEN get blown up. Insurance should cover it. According to the terms.
Obviously it doesn't, so the system needs to be fixed or the paragraph re-written.

Well, if it has left your possession the insurance is void even if it then get's back in your possession. This is intended game mechanics and nothing we'd reimburse for.

The ship was destroyed in his possession. The way the message reads people are lead to believe that they can trade it back and forth as many times as they want, however as long as the ship goes boom while they are the pilot it should be covered based on the wording of the contract message.

I agree the wording does not indicate in anyway that trading the ship invalidates the insurance.

Sorry but if that was say an insurance contract on a RL vehicle (and bear in mind most players feel MORE for their ships) the solicitors would be up to bat by now
Bad wording even if its working as intended - ever so slightly misleading

Quote: The selected item will be insured while in your possession for the duration of the contract.
So it will be insured under the following two conditions. 1) It is in possession of whoever issued the contract. 2) The contract has not expired.
By trading it you void the first condition and therefore the insurance. What's the problem...? __________________________________

Don't you just love that. " Intended Game Mechanics ". If it's intended then word your messages properly. How hard is it to add " trading ships will void contract " in that message. Until it's in there, I feel I am entitled to a full reimbursment. After all , I did pay isk for the contract and under the wording of that contract I was still covered or...lead to believe I still had coverage

Funny. I never thought, after trading a ship, that trading it back would make my insurance valid again, even from how it was worded.
And if you must have your RL car example:
1) Person A insures car. 2) Person A "trades" car over to Person B. (Whether actual money was exchanged or not, title must be transfered.) 3) Person B "trades" car back to Person A. (Title transferred again.) 4) Person A doesn't reinsure car. 5) Person A gets into an accident. 6) Person expects insurance payout? <--- This is the part that doesn't make sense.

Fun stuff, I recall trading ships with my alt and still having full insurance payout. I guess I was just lucky then.

Did you ever open your insurance window to make sure it was still insured? Or do you always just go off your Eve Mail? (If the latter, I have no sympathy, as new insurance Eve Mails are not generated 'till you open the insurance window.)

Why would person A have to reinsure the car? Their insurance would be 100% valid if person B wrecked the car if they own the car or not it makes no difference. I can take out a life insurance policy on you today, or on your car, if makes no difference who owns it.

Not if you transfer the title to the other person. It's only insured while the title is in your name.
EDIT: And no, you can't insure my car unless you could verify that you deserved payment if it got wrecked.
CONTINUED EDIT: You can try opening a life insurance policy on me or my car, but no respectable (read: valid) insurance agency would do so or, if it ever came time to collect, they would first validate that you deserved to be paid upon my death.

But you see, trading it does not void the contract according to the message.
According to the wording, it will be insured WHILE in your possesion.
There's no mention of once it leaves your possession the contract will be void, only that if it gets blown up WHILE NOT in your possession it will be void.
In fact, there's even a complete second sentence that explains what voids the contracts; "The contract will be considered void if the item or ship is destroyed while being in the possession of somebody else."
A sentence that is completely redundant if the intended mechanics is to void the contract ONCE it leaves your possesion, the term mentioned later would fall under the "leaving your possesion" clause to begin with.

I reckon any lawyer worth his salt can point out the first sentence states the item is only insured while in your possession for the duration of the contract. Violating either term makes the item un-insured. Hence were it to leave your possession for any amount of time before the duration expires the insurance is void.
I'll concede that the second sentence is very redundant. But so is warning that living things should not be dried in a microwave, or that a hot cup of coffee is hot. But we do it anyway, it's lawyer speak these days I guess.

Yeah, the contract gets voided when a ship leaves your possession; that you get it back doesn't matter.
That said, CCP is getting way behind with sorting the info pages in this game and on their own website (Item Database), and they're also getting way behind with responding to petitions in any timely fashion. 7 days is "fast" these days.
Meanwhile, expectations keep on going right up when the rest of the MMO industry does it right, with few bugs, lots of polish, and good/fast customer support.

According to the wording of the message. I have a right to assume My ship was still covered. It was in my possession when it was destroyed, it was still during the time frame of the contract. It wasn't repackaged.

Well I reckon a Lawyer worth his salt would say that I have a case. Because it was in my possession at the time of destruction, it was still under the time frame of the said contract. Never says a thing in the wording of the contract about trading the ship voiding the contract.

True... and any lawyer worth his salt will point out, that in this case, the redundant (third) sentence actually causes confusion about exactly what the first sentence covers, since something can leave your possession and return to your possession during the duration of the contract.

Annapolis is Right, He does have a legitimate case. Based on the wording of the contract he had every right to assume he was still covered, and in truth he should have been based on the terms of what was written. The message needs to be ammended in game to state that trading a ship or item, or that if the ship or item leaves your possession at anytime, the contract will be considered void.

Edited by: Marius Deterium on 08/02/2008 19:00:47 It's nice to see this is inconsistently enforced. About a month ago I had an alt move a drake across empire for me. The drake was insured. When the drake was back in my possession, and it got popped. I got paid the full insurance amount.
The insurance system is definatly borked. I get emails about insurance expiring for ships I've sold months ago.
