This does not replace the normal policy claim deductible and is supplementary thereto. When a loss occurs, the normal policy deductible is applied. If a balance remains after applying the policy deductible, this net amount is applied to the AAD. If it is less than the AAD no payment is made to the Insured and the item is held in suspense until the next claim arises, if any. This procedure continues until the aggregate of the items held in suspense reach the AAD. Thereafter, the policy reverts to a contract without an AAD; subsequent claims being subject only to the normal policy deductible and being settled for the amount by which they exceed the policy deductible.
