- If the insured concealed information about their health or lifestyle when concluding an insurance contract. Inaccurate information will sooner or later become known to the insurer, and this may cause a refusal in insurance indemnity;
- If the insured has not fulfilled their obligations under the insurance agreement (for example, has not paid insurance premiums);
