Special Provisions and Definitions

There are extensions of coverage over and above what is provided by the Bodily Injury and Property Damage as previously outlined. These extensions are provided due to nature of the activities associated with the community use of schools.

To help you better understand, we have provided definitions below.

For sports related activities, injury to participants is usually excluded under a General Liability Policy. This program extends the liability to protect you in the event a participant in your activity is injured and claims negligence.

The extension is provided to protect you in the event of oral or written publication or material that slanders or libels a person or organization, excluding any advertising material.

This extension provides coverage for property damage to premises rented to you or occupied by you. There is no coverage for property damage that is expected or intended by the insured.

This extension provides coverage for the failing to render, or rendering of medical services, or the furnishing or dispensing of drugs or supplies. Any individual engaged in the business or occupation of providing these services is not covered under this extension.

This endorsement extends the liability coverage to protect you in the event of an injury where the serving of alcohol is involved.
