      A form of insurance cover in which the sum insured is less than the full value of the insured property, so that the policyholder has to bear any loss in excess of the sum insured.

      It is appropriate in circumstances where the policyholder considers that a loss in excess of the sum insured is extremely unlikely or the item is effectively priceless. It is commonly used in fire business.
