Frequently asked questions
Is liquor liability included automatically?
Do not assume it is. Liquor liability may require separate coverage or terms, and exclusions, limits, and eligibility vary.
Why disclose entertainment and security?
Live music, DJs, dancing, events, door staff, and security arrangements can materially change customer and premises exposures.
Coverage descriptions are general. Eligibility, availability, limits, deductibles, valuation, exclusions, and policy terms vary by operation and insurance market. Actual policy documents control.
