ii) Open Policy is for an agreed amount, against which a series of consignments may be despatched and declared as a result of which the sum insured will gradually diminish by the amount of each declaration until it is finally exhausted.

iii)Even though the Open Policy ceases on expiry of one year from the date of its issue, the sum insured is of paramount importance. Therefore, the sum insured may exhaust prior to the expiry of the policy.
