AP 0337–Additional Insured–Owners, Lessees, or Contractors–Automatic Status

This endorsement provides additional insured status to any party for whom the named insured performs work. Coverage applies only when there is a contractual obligation to include the party as an additional insured.

This property endorsement covers a variety of the named insured's equipment that it customarily uses in its contracting, installation, erection, repair, or moving operations and projects. Coverage applies to owned, leased, or rented equipment at job sites, regular or temporary storage locations, and while in transit. The equipment can be scheduled with specific limits or be written on a blanket basis with one limit. Actual cash value or replacement cost value options are available. AP 0660–Contractors' Equipment Schedule must be attached to provide limits.

It is also used to cover employees' tools when at a job site. Coverage is on a blanket basis. It is written on an actual cash value basis but replacement cost valuation is available as an option. The limit, a description of the tools, and whether or not replacement cost valuation applies are required entries on the endorsement schedule.

AP 0662–Installation Floater

This endorsement covers materials, supplies, machinery, fixtures, equipment, and similar property intended to become a permanent part of a construction, installation, or erection project. Coverage applies at job sites, regular or temporary storage locations, and while in transit for the limit(s) entered on the endorsement schedule.

This endorsement covers bodily injury or property damage on a limited basis that results from ingesting, physical contact with, or inhaling wet rot, dry rot, bacteria, fungi, or protists.

AP 0692–Exclusion–Damage to Work Performed by You or On Your Behalf

This liability endorsement eliminates the subcontractor exception from this exclusion. This results in much more restricted coverage.

AP 0693–Exclusion–Damage to Work Performed by You or On Your Behalf–Designated Locations or Projects

AP 1351–Exclusion-Data Breach Liability

This is a mandatory exclusion. The exclusion is very broad because even though it is called “data breach” the exclusion never mentions that term except in the title. Instead, it eliminates coverage for ANY type of disclosure or even just access to private or confidential information regardless of who that information belongs to. The term “data records” is defined but that term applies only to such damages related directly to those data records.

BP 322–Computer Coverage

This property endorsement covers physical loss or damage to computer hardware and software the named insured uses in its operations and business.

BP 499–Additional Insured–Grantor of Franchise

GL 113–Additional Insured–Owners, Lessees, or Contractors

This endorsement includes the additional insured on the endorsement schedule for its liability that arises out of the named insured's work for that additional insured. It also applies to the additional insured's acts or omissions related to its general supervision of the named insured's work. The named insured's work must be performed at the location on the endorsement schedule.

GL 117–Additional Insured–Engineers, Architects, or Surveyors

This endorsement adds as an additional insured any architect, engineer, or surveyor the named insured engages with respect to liability that arises out of the named insured's premises or work.

This liability endorsement provides property damage liability coverage to property of others in an insured's care, custody, or control. Coverage is subject to the per occurrence limit on the endorsement schedule.

Coverage applies only with respect to liability that results from activities identified on the endorsement schedule related to the named insured's operations or premises it owns or rents.

GL 842–Additional Insured–Lessors

This liability endorsement adds as an additional insured the party on the endorsement schedule that owns the premises on the endorsement schedule that it leases it to the named insured. The coverage provided is restricted to liability that arises from owning, maintaining, or using the part of the premises the named insured leases.

This endorsement differs from AP 0232 because the additional insured's interest ends when its lease with the named insured expires. It is also different because the lessor is not covered for any construction, alteration, or demolition work it does or that others do for it.

GL 890–Lead Liability Exclusion

This endorsement excludes liability for all bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, and advertising injury that arises out any form of lead. It may apply on a mandatory basis under some programs.

GL 894–Punitive Damages Exclusion

This liability endorsement excludes payments for punitive, exemplary, or vindictive damages.

GL 895–Employee Redefined

This endorsement narrows the definition of employee under commercial liability coverage to exclude both leased workers and temporary workers.

GL 899–Cross Liability Exclusion

This is a very restrictive liability endorsement. It removes all coverage when one insured sues another. This can present some very significant gaps in coverage, especially if there are any additional insureds.

GL 903–Contractual Liability Coverage Limitation (Incidental Contractual Liability)

This endorsement limits the contractual liability coverage that the Commercial Liability Coverage provides to only designated incidental contractual liability. The five types of incidental contracts covered are:

GL 905–Exclusion–Coverage P–Personal and Advertising Injury Liability
