Also known as the Reinstatement Cover and the Indemnity cover, the reinstatement cover means that the insurers will pay to replace the item with a new one which is equal to but not better than the item lost or damaged. This is usually the basis of cover under the Event Assured "all risks" cover, provide the sum insured represent the full replacement cost.
Indemnity basis means that the insurance will only pay for the second hand value of the item i.e. what you might get if you sold it. This is its market value, not the written down value, nor what it would cost to replace, and so may be inadequate, particularly if the item is hired and the owner wants a replacement.

What is the difference between Indemnity and Pay on Behalf of in an insurance policy?
Indemnity, indemnify (as I understand it) is protection from loss, and to make whole, after a loss has been sustained. On Behalf of would be the person the sum is being paid for/in your stead/representing you/in stead of you. Your insurance company made payment to the injured/damaged property that you were responsible for, thus indemnifying them, on your behalf, (rather than you paying it yourself).

What is the difference between Virginia Life Insurance Company and Life of Virginia Insurance Company?
I have never heard of a company called Virginia Life Insurance, but I have done business in the past with Life of Virginia. However, they are no longer called Life of Virginia, because they were first purchased by First Colony Life Insurance company, and then they were bought by GE. They all now fall under the umbrella of Genworth Life Insurance.
