Professional Indemnity Insurance
What's covered
Summary of Cover
This is a brief description of the cover provided and does not contain the full details. We recommend you read the policy wording for full details of cover.
|
Professional indemnity - provides cover for claims first made during the policy period, within the territorial limits, which you may become legally liable, arising out of the your professional conduct of the business (as described below) and alleging that liability occurred as a result of a negligent act, error or omission, loss of documents or dishonesty of employees.
Under dishonesty of employees no protection is given after suspicion has arisen and there is no cover for those committing or condoning such acts.
The policy is on a ‘claims made’ basis and only covers claims first made during the policy period and you must advise the insurers during the policy period or any claim or circumstance that may give rise to a claim. |

- Insurers can cancel the policy by giving 30 days prior notice. In these cases Insurers will return a pro-rata proportion of the premium. As the Insured you can cancel at any time with Insurers calculating their return premium based on their short rate terms. No return of premium will be made where a claim or potential claim has been notified during that period of insurance.
- Complaints can be referred to the Insurer in writing and the Insurer will endeavour to respond within 8 weeks. There is no referral to the Financial Ombudsman Service. If the Insurer cannot meet their liabilities, there is no fall back to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
- You must disclose to the Insurer all material facts and information prior to and/or at inception of your policy, and/or at any time during the period of insurance if your circumstances change. Failure to do so could result in the Insurer being able to invalidate the cover and decline to meet any claims.
