Contact your Insurer and have this policy section removed. If you have any issues with please contact Lisa Albery for assistance. Direct market Insurers at times offer Insurance as a package and will not continue a policy without a Public Liability section.
We recommend commencing straight away so that you have Errors and Omissions cover included without waiting for your next renewal.
An alleged financial loss without the trigger of property damage. This could include breach of confidentiality, non-compliance or the mismanagement of client security codes.
As long as there is no fee charged, then yes this is covered under the Public Liability insurance section. Think about a car salesman and all the advice they give you when buying a car. Your advice to your customers is the same, and is covered under your Public Liability section.
PI is required by a Business to cover for a breach in their professional duty, and where they receive a fee for their services.
Think of a Doctor, Lawyer, Accountant. Members of the MLA require PI Insurance if their business activities include Alarm Monitoring, or Security Reports.
If you fail to disclose this, the Insurer will not cover your Business in relation to these products. As Australian Regulatory Law is only binding within Australia, not on overseas manufacturers, it is deemed that if you import products directly, you then inherit the liability responsibilities of the manufacturer, just as if you made the product yourself. This increases your Products Liability exposure.
A contract may contain clauses that, once signed, transfers liabilities of others across to you. We recommend that before signing any such contracts that you obtain and act on professional legal advice. If such contracts are in place, for your Insurance policy to respond, you must provide a copy of the contract to the Insurer for their referral and acceptance. Without this being done the Insurer can act as if there was no Insurance in place, leaving you exposed.
Yes, each member business will have unique risk exposures, and as such your Liability policy will be tailored with cover limits suitable for your business.
This is covered under Errors and Omissions.
