Materiality

A fact, or statement, is material to a contract of insurance if knowledge of that fact would affect the decision of the underwriter to enter into the contract. If the fact would cause a change of any kind in the premium, the conditions of the policy, the perils insured, the persons insured, or in any other way, the policy is subject to being declared void.
