Trade insurance issues

I have an issue with my motor trade insurance policy, underwritten by QBE. I was with Equity red star prior I had no problems with them, what happened was that I failed to declare 2 non-fault accidents in 2009 (oversight- previous insurer sent paperwork once I had already shopped and bought insurance) now 15 days in they are cancelling my insurance and giving me 7 days to get insured elsewhere.

Would I be liable for any cancellation fees as they are cancelling the policy and not me?

Yes. Your fault for failing to disclose the claims.
