However, Fire is usually excluded because it is covered under any basic property policy and war is excluded. The maximum indemnity is value of the glass at the time of occurrence of loss or insured’s estimate of value mentioned in the Policy, whichever is less. The word “breakage” will not include scratches, disfiguration, discoloration of damage other than fracture extending through the entire thickness of the glass.
