Bus/Financial - Insurance | | Portuguese term or phrase: período contestável | There is a regular term of this. It means something similar to probabionary period, period for disputes, etc. I cannot recall the term at this moment. It is something that sounds natural - not "contestable"

Por favor, forneça o número de sinistros divididos por tempo de vigência no momento do sinistro. Se a apólice inclui um período contestável, inclua uma lista de sinistros contestáveis e não-contestáveis. |

| Grading comment Thank you, Richard and Paul. Both answers are plausible - personally I like the "ring" of "disputed period" more than "contestable", although this preference is admittedly subjective.
Mike :)
