increase in hazard

The standard fire insurance policy is suspended from liability while the hazard in a risk has been increased beyond what was contemplated at the time the policy was written. For example, if a dwelling house, insured as such, should be occupied for manufacturing purposes without getting consent from the insurer for such increase in hazard, the company would not have to pay a loss as long as the manufacturing condition existed.
