Under the false pretenses or voluntary parting exclusion, when is property not covered?

• A. If it was willingly transferred to a person or place beyond the insured premises on basis of unauthorized instructions
• B. If it was lost due to misplacement on insured premises
• C. If it was transferred with the insured's consent
• D. If it was lost due to a data breach

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the policy won’t cover losses when the insured voluntarily parts with property due to deception or unauthorized instructions. If the property is willingly transferred to someone or moved to a place beyond the insured’s premises based on instructions the insured did not authorize, that counts as voluntary parting under false pretenses, so it’s not covered. The other scenarios don’t fit this exclusion: misplacing something on the insured premises isn’t a voluntary surrender and would generally be covered, transferring with the insured’s consent isn’t unauthorized, and a data breach involves digital or informational loss rather than a physical transfer under false pretenses.
