Insured & Insurer
Named insured, additional insureds, mailing addresses, and insurer name and NAIC number appear at the top to identify contracting parties and ensure accurate certificate issuance and underwriting reference.
Completing the Insurance General Liability & Directors and Officers Policy Form accurately reduces the risk of coverage disputes, prevents processing delays, and ensures premiums and exclusions reflect negotiated terms.
The form is used by insurers, brokers, risk managers, corporate officers, and legal teams when documenting or verifying GL and D&O coverage.
Each party has a distinct role: insurers supply policy terms, brokers verify accuracy and endorsements, and insureds confirm representations and sign attestations.
A designated internal risk manager or insurance administrator typically reviews coverage details, confirms insured entities and exposures, and is authorized to sign routine attestations on behalf of the organization.
An insurance broker or licensed producer prepares the document, verifies carrier information and endorsements, and may sign on behalf of the insured when authorized by written delegation or power of attorney.
Named insured, additional insureds, mailing addresses, and insurer name and NAIC number appear at the top to identify contracting parties and ensure accurate certificate issuance and underwriting reference.
Effective and expiration dates specify the coverage window; these dates determine whether a loss occurred within policy boundaries and affect claims eligibility and retroactive coverage questions.
Detailed listings for General Liability and D&O sections, including per-occurrence, aggregate limits, and sublimits, clarify which risks and claims are covered and any cross-coverage interactions.
Endorsements, riders, and explicit exclusions modify standard terms; list endorsements by form number and attach copies so obligations and carve-outs are unambiguous for claims and contractual counterparties.
Premium amounts, payment schedule, audit provisions, and installment terms appear here; misstated premium figures can lead to audits, adjustments, or nonrenewal actions.
Authorized signature block for insurer, broker, and insured with printed name, title, and date; attestations confirm accuracy and trigger legal obligations under the policy terms.
