policy wording

Policy wording is the document that states the full terms of an insurance policy, including the cover, conditions, exclusions, and definitions.

In plain English

This is the main document that sets out exactly what the insurance contract says. It brings together what is covered, the rules that apply, what is not covered, and the meanings of key terms.

In context

Here, "policy wording" names the policy document file that contains the insurer's standard full terms, including cover, conditions, exclusions, and definitions.

Situation

Meaning limits
