  2. Unless otherwise expressly agreed between the Assured and the Managers, the risks specified in Clauses 2, 3 & 4 are always subject to the warranties, conditions, exceptions, limitations and other terms set out in Clause 5, and in the remainder of these Terms & Conditions.
  3. The cover set out in these Terms & Conditions may be excluded, limited, modified, added to or otherwise altered by any special terms which have been agreed in writing between an Assured and the Managers.
  4. An Assured is insured against loss, damage, liability or expense incurred by it in respect of risks set out in Clauses 2, 3 & 4, as agreed in writing between the Assured and the Managers, arising:
    i)       out of events occurring during the period of entry of a ship in the Club; and
