damaged; or
|
(b) That proportion of the cost to repair or replace,
after application of deductible and without deduction for depreciation,
that part of the building damaged, which the total amount of
insurance in this policy on the damaged building bears to

(3) To determine the amount of insurance required to equal

is complete.

provisions and make claim under this policy for loss or damage
to buildings on an actual cash value basis. You may then make
claim within 180 days after loss for any additional liability
according to the provisions of this Condition 3. Loss Settlement.
