What is excluded?

  • If you have American or Canadian clients or contracts, they will probably be excluded and some insurers will restrict cover to UK claims only. However, policies can be extended to include USA and Canada protection for an additional premium.
  • Most policies will exclude any claims related to patents. In the software sector, you may not need it, but we can explore additional coverage if you do.
  • Deliberate acts, dishonest or fraudulent acts are usually excluded unless committed by an employee without the knowledge of senior management.
  • Disputes which are purely commercial in nature and not linked to your supply or service provision, such as a commercial dispute with a supplier may be excluded. Disputes with clients are usually covered, especially if they allege your business has been negligent or breached a contract.
