Webinar - Contract Conditions

  • Fri 15 Sep 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
    • Alan Chandler

How contract conditions can change the liability of an insured and why brokers must advise clients on this. Many policyholders sign contracts without realising they are potentially exposing themselves to liabilities that are not covered by their insurances. Often these contracts are signed in order to either win business or obtain key supplies, either way they are extending their liability beyond the potential protection provided by the liability insurer. Alan Chandler, one of the most popular presenters in the UK, will explore what Public and Products liability policies normally cover and what the position is at law when the policyholder extends their liability beyond this by signing certain contracts. The webinar will include exploring the consequences of the Insurance Act 2015 for failing to make a fair presentation of risk with regards to contract conditions, and how failure to guide policyholders around this matter could lead to a claim being turned down and all cover cancelled.

    • Alan Chandler

How to correctly advise your clients on setting correct indemnity periods under Business Interruption insurance policies. Brokers increasingly face Pi claims for failing to advise clients correctly on setting appropriate Business Interruption indemnity periods, and with all the unfortunate events occurring in the world at the moment, making rebuild materials very scare, never has there been a better opportunity to engage your policyholders on this subject. Recently a broker was successfully sued for failing to give any guidance around indemnity periods to a manufacturer who had a twelve-month indemnity period.

This webinar looks to make sure this does not happen to you or your staff. This one-hour webinar provided by Alan Chandler, one of the most popular presenters in the UK, will examine all the different factors a client needs to take into account when setting an indemnity period.
