COVERAGES
Unless otherwise indicated, the limits shown in this endorsement are not additional amounts of insurance to the
Limits of Insurance provided by your policy. The Building and Business Personal Property Deductibles shown on
the Declarations apply unless otherwise indicated.
If this endorsement and any other coverage part, form, endorsement or policy that is issued to you by us apply to
the same loss, damage or expense, the maximum Limit of Insurance combined shall not exceed the highest
applicable Limit of Insurance under any one coverage part, form, endorsement or policy.
A. SCHEDULED COVERAGES
The following paragraphs amend coverage provided under SECTION I – PROPERTY of the
BUSINESSOWNERS COVERAGE FORM.
1. Animal Bailee Coverage
Under Paragraph A.5. Additional Coverages, the following is added:
a. We will pay for loss or damage to “covered animals” while in your care, custody or control for veterinary
services at any insured premises or while in transit in your owned, leased or hired vehicles. Such
veterinary services include treatment, breeding, grooming, and boarding. Loss under this Additional
Coverage includes escape.
For purposes of this Additional Coverage, the following definition is added:
“Covered animals” means animals of others while in your care, custody or control and includes
animals of others at any insured premises awaiting or receiving veterinary services or animals owned
by you or your “employees”. “Covered animals” does not include animals held for sale, lease or rental
to others.
For purposes of this Additional Coverage, under Paragraph A.2. Property Not Covered, Sub-
Paragraph j. is deleted.
b. Under this Additional Coverage, we will also pay for the following:
(1) Legal Liability
(a) Damages
We will pay all sums you become legally obligated to pay as damages because of your liability
for loss to “covered animals” caused by or resulting from a Covered Cause of Loss.
Our obligation for payment of damages under this coverage does not apply to your liability for
the actual value of the “covered animals” as insured elsewhere under this Additional Coverage.
(b) Defense
We will have the right and duty to defend any “suit” against you seeking damages for loss to
“covered animals” caused by or resulting from an “occurrence”, even if any of the allegatio ns of
the “suit” are not true. However, we will have no duty to defend the insured against any “suit”
seeking damages for loss to “covered animals” to which this insurance does not apply. We
may, at our discretion, investigate any “occurrence” and settle any claim or “suit” that may
result.
After we have paid the Limit Of Insurance that applies to damages under paragraph b.(1)(a) of
this Additional Coverage in a settlement or pursuant to a judgment, we have no duty:
i. To pay any other sums as damages; or
ii. To defend any “suit” including the one which has been settled or on which a judgment has
been paid.
(c) Supplementary Payments
In addition to the Limit Of Insurance that applies to damages under paragraph b.(1)(a) of this
Additional Coverage, we will pay:
i. Expenses we incur to adjust claims or suits;
ii. Costs, including all expenses of litigation taxed against you in any “suit” we defend;
iii. All interest which accrues after the entry of a judgment in a “suit” we defend. Our duty to
pay interest ends when we pay that part of the judgment which does not exceed our Limits
of Insurance specified in paragraph b.(1)(a) of this Additional Coverage.
iv. Premiums on appeal bonds:
(i) In any “suit” we defend;
(ii) To release attachments in any “suit” we defend.
But we will not pay the premiums for bond amounts greater than the applicable Limits of
Insurance specified in paragraph b.(1)(a) of this Additional Coverage, and we have no
obligation to apply for or defend against a claim or “suit”.
These payments will not reduce the limit of liability.

(2) Additional Expenses
We will pay the reasonable expense you incur for:
(a) The recovery of a “covered animal”; and
(b) Putting a “covered animal” to death when such death is made necessary by a Covered Cause
of Loss.
This Additional Coverage does not apply to any:
(a) Expense for advertising; or
(b) Reward offered.
The most we will pay in any one loss under this Additional Expense provision, regardless of the
number of “covered animals” in your care, custody or control is $2,500. The most we will pay
under this Additional Expense provision in any one policy period, regardless of the number of
“occurrences” is $5,000.+
(3) Preservation Expense
If it is necessary to move “covered animals” to preserve them from loss by a Covered Cause of
Loss, we will pay the actual expense to move the “covered animal” to safety.
The most we will pay in any one “occurrence” for moving the “covered animals” is $25,000,
regardless of how many “covered animals” are in your care, custody or control.
(4) Uncollectible Accounts
(a) In the event of loss to “covered animals” caused by or resulting from a Covered Cause of Loss,
we will also pay your accrued charges not collected from the customers as a result of the loss.
There will be no recovery for accrued charges which were more than ninety (90) days
delinquent from the end of the month in which the payment was due. Uncollectible accounts
that predate the policy effective date do not qualify under this provision.
(b) The most we will pay for accrued charges due from any one customer is $250. The most we
will pay for accrued charges in any one “occurrence” is $1,000.
We will not pay for uncollectible charges on any claim for which the loss to the “covered animals” is
less than the deductible that applies to such loss.
(5) Advertising and Reward
(a) We will pay the cost of advertising in newspapers to aid in the recovery of “covered animals”
that are lost or stolen while in your care, custody or control. “Covered animals” stolen by your
“employees” are not covered under this coverage.
(b) We will also pay a reward to the person or persons, who are not “employees”, who provide
information leading to the recovery of the “covered animals” lost or stolen.
The most we will pay in any one “occurrence” for advertising expense and rewards under this
coverage provision, regardless of the number of “covered animals” lost or stolen, is $2,500.

any sequence to the loss.

2. Animal Damage To Property
Under Paragraph A.5. Additional Coverages, the following is added:
a. We will pay for the actual direct physical loss or damage to Covered Property caused by or resulting
from animals which you do not own but are in your care, custody or control for treatment, grooming,

b. For purposes of this Additional Coverage, the following Exclusions are added to paragraph B.
Exclusions:
(1) Caused by or resulting from wear or tear;
(2) Caused by or resulting from your failure to use care in the maintenance of the property; or
(3) Which cannot be identified as occurring at a specific point in time and did not become known to you
within 48 hours thereafter.
c. If the covered loss or damage is to real property which you own, the most we will pay for loss or
damage under this Additional Coverage is the Limit Of Insurance that applies to your Building at the
premises where the loss or damage occurred.
If the covered loss or damage is to real property which you do not own but which you occupy for your
business for which you have a contractual responsibility to insure, or to Business Personal Property,
the most we will pay for loss or damage under this Additional Coverage is the Limit Of Insurance that
applies to your Business Personal Property.
d. Payments under this Additional Coverage do not increase the Limit Of Insurance that applies to your
Building or to your Business Personal Property. The Limit Of Insurance that applies to your Business
Personal Property is the most we will pay in any one “occurrence” for loss or damage to your Business
Personal Property and for loss arising from animal damage to property you do not own but which you
occupy for business combined.
e. Coverage provided under this Additional Coverage for Animal Damage to property that you occupy for
business for which you have a contractual responsibility to insure is primary insurance and will not seek
contribution from any other insurance available to the lessor.
3. Backup Of Water And Sump Overflow
Under Paragraph A.5. Additional Coverages, the following is added:
a. We will pay for direct physical loss or damage to Covered Property, covered under Section I –
Property, caused by or resulting from:
(1) Water or waterborne material which backs up through or overflows or is otherwise discharged from
a sewer or drain; or
(2) Water or waterborne material which overflows or is otherwise discharged from a sump, sump pump
or related equipment, even if the overflow or discharge results from mechanical breakdown of a
sump pump or its related equipment; or
However, with respect to paragraph a.(2), we will not pay the cost of repairing or replacing a sump
pump or its related equipment in the event of mechanical breakdown.
b. The coverage described in paragraph a. of this endorsement does not apply to loss or damage
resulting from:
(1) An insured's failure to keep a sump pump or its related equipment in proper working condition;
(2) An insured's failure to perform the routine maintenance or repair necessary to keep a sewer or
drain free from obstructions; or
(3) Sump pump failure which is caused by or results from failure of power, unless this policy is
endorsed to cover power failure affecting the described premises.
c. Regardless of the number of insured locations involved, the most we will pay under this Additional
Coverage for loss or damage in any one “occurrence” is included in the Limits Of Insurance for
Covered Property. This Additional Coverage does not increase the Limits Of Insurance.

ABP01380215 Includes copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc. with its permission Page 6 of 33
(4) Waterborne material carried or otherwise moved by any of the water referred to in paragraph (1) or
(3) above or material carried or otherwise moved by mudslide or mudflow.
This exclusion applies regardless of whether any of the above, in paragraphs (1) through (4), is caused
by an act of nature or is otherwise caused. An example of a situation to which this exclusion applies is
the situation where a dam, levee, seawall or other boundary or containment system fails in whole or in
part, for any reason, to contain the water.
But if any of the above, in (1) through (4), results in fire, explosion or sprinkler leakage, we will pay for
the loss or damage caused by that fire, explosion or sprinkler leakage.
THIS IS NOT FLOOD INSURANCE OR PROTECTION FROM AN INUNDATION OF SURFACE
WATER, HOWEVER CAUSED.
In supplement to exclusion d. Water above, the following applies:
This coverage is intended to provide insurance for damage by sub-terranean water when such event is
a localized incident – not part of a general, widespread flood water event.
We will not pay for loss or damage to property when the subterranean water described in a. above is
itself caused by any flood or general flooding conditions – including but not limited to those enumerated
under the Water exclusion.
We will not pay for loss or damage to property when the back up of the sewer or drain is caused by any
flood or general flooding conditions.
Flood and flooding conditions means surface water or other inundation of water, whether caused
directly or indirectly by weather conditions, or due to overflow or breach of dams, levees, canals,
retaining structures of any kind, or other structure designed to, at least in part, restrain or redirect water
or any combination of the foregoing; overflow or redirection of streams, ponds, lakes, oceans or other
bodies of water, or their spray, whether driven by wind or not and whether or not caused directly or
indirectly by weather conditions, or any combination of the foregoing.
e. For the purposes of this endorsement, the term drain includes a roof drain and related fixtures.
4. Boundary Extension

instead of a replacement cost basis. In the event you elect to have loss or damage settled on an
actual cash value basis, you may still make a claim on a replacement cost basis if you notify us of
your intent to do so within 180 days after the loss or damage.
(2) We will not pay on a replacement cost basis for any loss or damage:
(a) Until the loss or damaged property is actually repaired or replaced;
(b) Unless the repairs or replacement are made as soon as reasonably possible after the loss or
damage; and
(c) Unless the repairs or replacement are completed within:
i. 24 months (for personal property),
ii. 24 months (for buildings and other real property),
after the loss or damage, unless extended in writing by us.
However, if the cost to repair or replace the damaged building property is $2,500 or less, we will
settle the loss according to the provisions of Paragraphs a.(1) and a.(2) above whether or not the
actual repair or replacement is complete.
(3) We will not pay more for loss or damage on a replacement cost basis than the least of:
(a) The cost to replace, on the same premises, the lost or damaged property with other property:
i. Of comparable material and quality; and
ii. Used for the same purpose; or

property.
If a building is rebuilt at a new location, the recoverable amount is limited to the cost which would
have been incurred had the building been built at the original premises.
(4) The cost to repair, rebuild or replace does not include the increased cost attributable to
enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the construction, use or repair of any property.

(2) Property of others. However, if an item(s) of personal property of others is subject to a written
contract which governs your liability for loss or damage to that item(s), then valuation of that item(s)
will be based on the amount for which you are liable under such contract, but not to exceed the
lesser of the replacement cost of the property or the applicable Limit of Insurance;
(3) Household contents, except personal property in apartments or rooms furnished by you as
landlord;
(4) Manuscripts ;

(a) Multiply the original cost by the number of days from the loss or damage to the expiration of the
lease; and
(b) Divide the amount determined in (a) above by the number of days from the installation of
improvements to the expiration of the lease.
If your lease contains a renewal option, the expiration of the renewal option period will replace the
expiration of the lease in this procedure.
(3) Nothing if others pay for repairs or replacement.
(4) Nothing if you have no lease.
f. Loss or damage to "valuable papers and records" will be valued at the cost of restoration or
replacement, including the cost of data entry, re-programming, computer consultation services and the

replacement with blank materials of substantially identical type.
g. “Money” at its face value; and
h. “Securities” at their value at the close of business on the day the loss is discovered.
i. Applicable only to Accounts Receivable:
(1) If you cannot accurately establish the amount of accounts receivable outstanding as of the time of
loss or damage:

months immediately preceding the month in which the loss or damage occurs; and

month in which the loss or damage occurred or for any demonstrated variance from the
average for that month.

established:

have had.

or advanced freight charges and other charges which may have accrued or become legally due since
the shipment. If you have no invoice, actual cash value will apply.

or replacing the media with material of like kind and quality. “Electronic data” and computer software
programs at the actual cost of reproducing the “electronic data” or computer software program,

applicable Limit of Insurance under any one coverage part, form, endorsement or policy.
A. SCHEDULED COVERAGES
The following paragraphs amend coverage provided under SECTION I – PROPERTY of the
BUSINESSOWNERS COVERAGE FORM.
1. Animal Bailee Coverage
Under Paragraph A.5. Additional Coverages, the following is added:
a. We will pay for loss or damage to “covered animals” while in your care, custody or control for veterinary
services at any insured premises or while in transit in your owned, leased or hired vehicles. Such
veterinary services include treatment, breeding, grooming, and boarding. Loss under this Additional
Coverage includes escape.
For purposes of this Additional Coverage, the following definition is added:
“Covered animals” means animals of others while in your care, custody or control and includes
animals of others at any insured premises awaiting or receiving veterinary services or animals owned
by you or your “employees”. “Covered animals” does not include animals held for sale, lease or rental
to others.
For purposes of this Additional Coverage, under Paragraph A.2. Property Not Covered, Sub-
Paragraph j. is deleted.
b. Under this Additional Coverage, we will also pay for the following:
(1) Legal Liability
(a) Damages
We will pay all sums you become legally obligated to pay as damages because of your liability
for loss to “covered animals” caused by or resulting from a Covered Cause of Loss.
Our obligation for payment of damages under this coverage does not apply to your liability for
the actual value of the “covered animals” as insured elsewhere under this Additional Coverage.
(b) Defense
We will have the right and duty to defend any “suit” against you seeking damages for loss to
“covered animals” caused by or resulting from an “occurrence”, even if any of the allegatio ns of
the “suit” are not true. However, we will have no duty to defend the insured against any “suit”
seeking damages for loss to “covered animals” to which this insurance does not apply. We
may, at our discretion, investigate any “occurrence” and settle any claim or “suit” that may
result.
After we have paid the Limit Of Insurance that applies to damages under paragraph b.(1)(a) of
this Additional Coverage in a settlement or pursuant to a judgment, we have no duty:
i. To pay any other sums as damages; or
ii. To defend any “suit” including the one which has been settled or on which a judgment has
been paid.
(c) Supplementary Payments
In addition to the Limit Of Insurance that applies to damages under paragraph b.(1)(a) of this
Additional Coverage, we will pay:
i. Expenses we incur to adjust claims or suits;
ii. Costs, including all expenses of litigation taxed against you in any “suit” we defend;
iii. All interest which accrues after the entry of a judgment in a “suit” we defend. Our duty to
pay interest ends when we pay that part of the judgment which does not exceed our Limits
of Insurance specified in paragraph b.(1)(a) of this Additional Coverage.
iv. Premiums on appeal bonds:
(i) In any “suit” we defend;
(ii) To release attachments in any “suit” we defend.
But we will not pay the premiums for bond amounts greater than the applicable Limits of
Insurance specified in paragraph b.(1)(a) of this Additional Coverage, and we have no
obligation to apply for or defend against a claim or “suit”.
These payments will not reduce the limit of liability.

“occurrences” is $5,000.+

Loss, we will pay the actual expense to move the “covered animal” to safety.

regardless of how many “covered animals” are in your care, custody or control.
(4) Uncollectible Accounts

(b) The most we will pay for accrued charges due from any one customer is $250. The most we
will pay for accrued charges in any one “occurrence” is $1,000.
We will not pay for uncollectible charges on any claim for which the loss to the “covered animals” is
less than the deductible that applies to such loss.
(5) Advertising and Reward
(a) We will pay the cost of advertising in newspapers to aid in the recovery of “covered animals”
that are lost or stolen while in your care, custody or control. “Covered animals” stolen by your
“employees” are not covered under this coverage.
(b) We will also pay a reward to the person or persons, who are not “employees”, who provide

premises where the loss or damage occurred.

business for which you have a contractual responsibility to insure, or to Business Personal Property,
the most we will pay for loss or damage under this Additional Coverage is the Limit Of Insurance that
applies to your Business Personal Property.

by an act of nature or is otherwise caused. An example of a situation to which this exclusion applies is
the situation where a dam, levee, seawall or other boundary or containment system fails in whole or in
part, for any reason, to contain the water.
But if any of the above, in (1) through (4), results in fire, explosion or sprinkler leakage, we will pay for
the loss or damage caused by that fire, explosion or sprinkler leakage.

WATER, HOWEVER CAUSED.

(1) You may make a claim for loss or damage covered by this insurance on an actual cash value basis
instead of a replacement cost basis. In the event you elect to have loss or damage settled on an
actual cash value basis, you may still make a claim on a replacement cost basis if you notify us of
your intent to do so within 180 days after the loss or damage.
(2) We will not pay on a replacement cost basis for any loss or damage:
(a) Until the loss or damaged property is actually repaired or replaced;
(b) Unless the repairs or replacement are made as soon as reasonably possible after the loss or
damage; and
(c) Unless the repairs or replacement are completed within:
i. 24 months (for personal property),
ii. 24 months (for buildings and other real property),
after the loss or damage, unless extended in writing by us.
However, if the cost to repair or replace the damaged building property is $2,500 or less, we will
settle the loss according to the provisions of Paragraphs a.(1) and a.(2) above whether or not the
actual repair or replacement is complete.
(3) We will not pay more for loss or damage on a replacement cost basis than the least of:
(a) The cost to replace, on the same premises, the lost or damaged property with other property:
i. Of comparable material and quality; and
ii. Used for the same purpose; or

property.
If a building is rebuilt at a new location, the recoverable amount is limited to the cost which would
have been incurred had the building been built at the original premises.
(4) The cost to repair, rebuild or replace does not include the increased cost attributable to
enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the construction, use or repair of any property.

(1) Used or second-hand merchandise held in storage or for sale;
(2) Property of others. However, if an item(s) of personal property of others is subject to a written
contract which governs your liability for loss or damage to that item(s), then valuation of that item(s)
will be based on the amount for which you are liable under such contract, but not to exceed the
lesser of the replacement cost of the property or the applicable Limit of Insurance;
(3) Household contents, except personal property in apartments or rooms furnished by you as
landlord;
(4) Manuscripts ;

(a) Multiply the original cost by the number of days from the loss or damage to the expiration of the
lease; and
(b) Divide the amount determined in (a) above by the number of days from the installation of
improvements to the expiration of the lease.
If your lease contains a renewal option, the expiration of the renewal option period will replace the
expiration of the lease in this procedure.
(3) Nothing if others pay for repairs or replacement.
(4) Nothing if you have no lease.
f. Loss or damage to "valuable papers and records" will be valued at the cost of restoration or
replacement, including the cost of data entry, re-programming, computer consultation services and the

and records" are not restored, the "valuable papers and records" will be valued at the cost of
replacement with blank materials of substantially identical type.
g. “Money” at its face value; and
h. “Securities” at their value at the close of business on the day the loss is discovered.
i. Applicable only to Accounts Receivable:
(1) If you cannot accurately establish the amount of accounts receivable outstanding as of the time of
loss or damage:

months immediately preceding the month in which the loss or damage occurs; and

month in which the loss or damage occurred or for any demonstrated variance from the
average for that month.

established:

have had.

or advanced freight charges and other charges which may have accrued or become legally due since
the shipment. If you have no invoice, actual cash value will apply.

or replacing the media with material of like kind and quality. “Electronic data” and computer software
programs at the actual cost of reproducing the “electronic data” or computer software program,

substantially identical type.

applicable Limit of Insurance under any one coverage part, form, endorsement or policy.
A. SCHEDULED COVERAGES
The following paragraphs amend coverage provided under SECTION I – PROPERTY of the
BUSINESSOWNERS COVERAGE FORM.
1. Animal Bailee Coverage
Under Paragraph A.5. Additional Coverages, the following is added:
a. We will pay for loss or damage to “covered animals” while in your care, custody or control for veterinary
services at any insured premises or while in transit in your owned, leased or hired vehicles. Such
veterinary services include treatment, breeding, grooming, and boarding. Loss under this Additional
Coverage includes escape.
For purposes of this Additional Coverage, the following definition is added:
“Covered animals” means animals of others while in your care, custody or control and includes
animals of others at any insured premises awaiting or receiving veterinary services or animals owned
by you or your “employees”. “Covered animals” does not include animals held for sale, lease or rental
to others.
For purposes of this Additional Coverage, under Paragraph A.2. Property Not Covered, Sub-
Paragraph j. is deleted.
b. Under this Additional Coverage, we will also pay for the following:
(1) Legal Liability
(a) Damages
We will pay all sums you become legally obligated to pay as damages because of your liability
for loss to “covered animals” caused by or resulting from a Covered Cause of Loss.
Our obligation for payment of damages under this coverage does not apply to your liability for
the actual value of the “covered animals” as insured elsewhere under this Additional Coverage.
(b) Defense
We will have the right and duty to defend any “suit” against you seeking damages for loss to
“covered animals” caused by or resulting from an “occurrence”, even if any of the allegatio ns of
the “suit” are not true. However, we will have no duty to defend the insured against any “suit”
seeking damages for loss to “covered animals” to which this insurance does not apply. We
may, at our discretion, investigate any “occurrence” and settle any claim or “suit” that may
result.
After we have paid the Limit Of Insurance that applies to damages under paragraph b.(1)(a) of
this Additional Coverage in a settlement or pursuant to a judgment, we have no duty:
i. To pay any other sums as damages; or
ii. To defend any “suit” including the one which has been settled or on which a judgment has
been paid.
(c) Supplementary Payments
In addition to the Limit Of Insurance that applies to damages under paragraph b.(1)(a) of this
Additional Coverage, we will pay:
i. Expenses we incur to adjust claims or suits;
ii. Costs, including all expenses of litigation taxed against you in any “suit” we defend;
iii. All interest which accrues after the entry of a judgment in a “suit” we defend. Our duty to
pay interest ends when we pay that part of the judgment which does not exceed our Limits
of Insurance specified in paragraph b.(1)(a) of this Additional Coverage.
iv. Premiums on appeal bonds:
(i) In any “suit” we defend;
(ii) To release attachments in any “suit” we defend.
But we will not pay the premiums for bond amounts greater than the applicable Limits of
Insurance specified in paragraph b.(1)(a) of this Additional Coverage, and we have no
obligation to apply for or defend against a claim or “suit”.
These payments will not reduce the limit of liability.

of Loss.

number of “covered animals” in your care, custody or control is $2,500. The most we will pay
under this Additional Expense provision in any one policy period, regardless of the number of
“occurrences” is $5,000.+
(3) Preservation Expense

Loss, we will pay the actual expense to move the “covered animal” to safety.
The most we will pay in any one “occurrence” for moving the “covered animals” is $25,000,
regardless of how many “covered animals” are in your care, custody or control.
(4) Uncollectible Accounts
(a) In the event of loss to “covered animals” caused by or resulting from a Covered Cause of Loss,
we will also pay your accrued charges not collected from the customers as a result of the loss.
There will be no recovery for accrued charges which were more than ninety (90) days
delinquent from the end of the month in which the payment was due. Uncollectible accounts
that predate the policy effective date do not qualify under this provision.
(b) The most we will pay for accrued charges due from any one customer is $250. The most we
will pay for accrued charges in any one “occurrence” is $1,000.
We will not pay for uncollectible charges on any claim for which the loss to the “covered animals” is
less than the deductible that applies to such loss.
(5) Advertising and Reward
(a) We will pay the cost of advertising in newspapers to aid in the recovery of “covered animals”
that are lost or stolen while in your care, custody or control. “Covered animals” stolen by your
“employees” are not covered under this coverage.
(b) We will also pay a reward to the person or persons, who are not “employees”, who provide

premises where the loss or damage occurred.
If the covered loss or damage is to real property which you do not own but which you occupy for your
business for which you have a contractual responsibility to insure, or to Business Personal Property,
the most we will pay for loss or damage under this Additional Coverage is the Limit Of Insurance that
applies to your Business Personal Property.
d. Payments under this Additional Coverage do not increase the Limit Of Insurance that applies to your
Building or to your Business Personal Property. The Limit Of Insurance that applies to your Business
Personal Property is the most we will pay in any one “occurrence” for loss or damage to your Business

occupy for business combined.

(4) Waterborne material carried or otherwise moved by any of the water referred to in paragraph (1) or
(3) above or material carried or otherwise moved by mudslide or mudflow.

by an act of nature or is otherwise caused. An example of a situation to which this exclusion applies is
the situation where a dam, levee, seawall or other boundary or containment system fails in whole or in
part, for any reason, to contain the water.
But if any of the above, in (1) through (4), results in fire, explosion or sprinkler leakage, we will pay for
the loss or damage caused by that fire, explosion or sprinkler leakage.
THIS IS NOT FLOOD INSURANCE OR PROTECTION FROM AN INUNDATION OF SURFACE
WATER, HOWEVER CAUSED.
In supplement to exclusion d. Water above, the following applies:
This coverage is intended to provide insurance for damage by sub-terranean water when such event is
a localized incident – not part of a general, widespread flood water event.
We will not pay for loss or damage to property when the subterranean water described in a. above is

(1) You may make a claim for loss or damage covered by this insurance on an actual cash value basis
instead of a replacement cost basis. In the event you elect to have loss or damage settled on an
actual cash value basis, you may still make a claim on a replacement cost basis if you notify us of
your intent to do so within 180 days after the loss or damage.
(2) We will not pay on a replacement cost basis for any loss or damage:
(a) Until the loss or damaged property is actually repaired or replaced;
(b) Unless the repairs or replacement are made as soon as reasonably possible after the loss or
damage; and
(c) Unless the repairs or replacement are completed within:
i. 24 months (for personal property),
ii. 24 months (for buildings and other real property),
after the loss or damage, unless extended in writing by us.
However, if the cost to repair or replace the damaged building property is $2,500 or less, we will
settle the loss according to the provisions of Paragraphs a.(1) and a.(2) above whether or not the
actual repair or replacement is complete.
(3) We will not pay more for loss or damage on a replacement cost basis than the least of:
(a) The cost to replace, on the same premises, the lost or damaged property with other property:
i. Of comparable material and quality; and
ii. Used for the same purpose; or

property.
If a building is rebuilt at a new location, the recoverable amount is limited to the cost which would
have been incurred had the building been built at the original premises.
(4) The cost to repair, rebuild or replace does not include the increased cost attributable to
enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the construction, use or repair of any property.

(1) Used or second-hand merchandise held in storage or for sale;
(2) Property of others. However, if an item(s) of personal property of others is subject to a written
contract which governs your liability for loss or damage to that item(s), then valuation of that item(s)
will be based on the amount for which you are liable under such contract, but not to exceed the
lesser of the replacement cost of the property or the applicable Limit of Insurance;
(3) Household contents, except personal property in apartments or rooms furnished by you as
landlord;
(4) Manuscripts ;

(a) Multiply the original cost by the number of days from the loss or damage to the expiration of the
lease; and
(b) Divide the amount determined in (a) above by the number of days from the installation of
improvements to the expiration of the lease.
If your lease contains a renewal option, the expiration of the renewal option period will replace the
expiration of the lease in this procedure.
(3) Nothing if others pay for repairs or replacement.
(4) Nothing if you have no lease.
f. Loss or damage to "valuable papers and records" will be valued at the cost of restoration or
replacement, including the cost of data entry, re-programming, computer consultation services and the

and records" are not restored, the "valuable papers and records" will be valued at the cost of
replacement with blank materials of substantially identical type.
g. “Money” at its face value; and
h. “Securities” at their value at the close of business on the day the loss is discovered.
i. Applicable only to Accounts Receivable:
(1) If you cannot accurately establish the amount of accounts receivable outstanding as of the time of
loss or damage:

months immediately preceding the month in which the loss or damage occurs; and

month in which the loss or damage occurred or for any demonstrated variance from the
average for that month.

established:

have had.

or advanced freight charges and other charges which may have accrued or become legally due since
the shipment. If you have no invoice, actual cash value will apply.

or replacing the media with material of like kind and quality. “Electronic data” and computer software
programs at the actual cost of reproducing the “electronic data” or computer software program,

substantially identical type.

applicable Limit of Insurance under any one coverage part, form, endorsement or policy.
A. SCHEDULED COVERAGES
The following paragraphs amend coverage provided under SECTION I – PROPERTY of the
BUSINESSOWNERS COVERAGE FORM.
1. Animal Bailee Coverage
Under Paragraph A.5. Additional Coverages, the following is added:
a. We will pay for loss or damage to “covered animals” while in your care, custody or control for veterinary
services at any insured premises or while in transit in your owned, leased or hired vehicles. Such
veterinary services include treatment, breeding, grooming, and boarding. Loss under this Additional
Coverage includes escape.
For purposes of this Additional Coverage, the following definition is added:
“Covered animals” means animals of others while in your care, custody or control and includes
animals of others at any insured premises awaiting or receiving veterinary services or animals owned
by you or your “employees”. “Covered animals” does not include animals held for sale, lease or rental
to others.
For purposes of this Additional Coverage, under Paragraph A.2. Property Not Covered, Sub-
Paragraph j. is deleted.
b. Under this Additional Coverage, we will also pay for the following:
(1) Legal Liability
(a) Damages
We will pay all sums you become legally obligated to pay as damages because of your liability
for loss to “covered animals” caused by or resulting from a Covered Cause of Loss.
Our obligation for payment of damages under this coverage does not apply to your liability for
the actual value of the “covered animals” as insured elsewhere under this Additional Coverage.
(b) Defense
We will have the right and duty to defend any “suit” against you seeking damages for loss to
“covered animals” caused by or resulting from an “occurrence”, even if any of the allegatio ns of
the “suit” are not true. However, we will have no duty to defend the insured against any “suit”
seeking damages for loss to “covered animals” to which this insurance does not apply. We
may, at our discretion, investigate any “occurrence” and settle any claim or “suit” that may
result.
After we have paid the Limit Of Insurance that applies to damages under paragraph b.(1)(a) of
this Additional Coverage in a settlement or pursuant to a judgment, we have no duty:
i. To pay any other sums as damages; or
ii. To defend any “suit” including the one which has been settled or on which a judgment has
been paid.
(c) Supplementary Payments
In addition to the Limit Of Insurance that applies to damages under paragraph b.(1)(a) of this
Additional Coverage, we will pay:
i. Expenses we incur to adjust claims or suits;
ii. Costs, including all expenses of litigation taxed against you in any “suit” we defend;
iii. All interest which accrues after the entry of a judgment in a “suit” we defend. Our duty to
pay interest ends when we pay that part of the judgment which does not exceed our Limits
of Insurance specified in paragraph b.(1)(a) of this Additional Coverage.
iv. Premiums on appeal bonds:
(i) In any “suit” we defend;
(ii) To release attachments in any “suit” we defend.
But we will not pay the premiums for bond amounts greater than the applicable Limits of
Insurance specified in paragraph b.(1)(a) of this Additional Coverage, and we have no
obligation to apply for or defend against a claim or “suit”.
These payments will not reduce the limit of liability.

under this Additional Expense provision in any one policy period, regardless of the number of
“occurrences” is $5,000.+

Loss, we will pay the actual expense to move the “covered animal” to safety.

regardless of how many “covered animals” are in your care, custody or control.
(4) Uncollectible Accounts
(a) In the event of loss to “covered animals” caused by or resulting from a Covered Cause of Loss,

There will be no recovery for accrued charges which were more than ninety (90) days
delinquent from the end of the month in which the payment was due. Uncollectible accounts
that predate the policy effective date do not qualify under this provision.
(b) The most we will pay for accrued charges due from any one customer is $250. The most we
will pay for accrued charges in any one “occurrence” is $1,000.
We will not pay for uncollectible charges on any claim for which the loss to the “covered animals” is
less than the deductible that applies to such loss.
(5) Advertising and Reward
(a) We will pay the cost of advertising in newspapers to aid in the recovery of “covered animals”
that are lost or stolen while in your care, custody or control. “Covered animals” stolen by your
“employees” are not covered under this coverage.
(b) We will also pay a reward to the person or persons, who are not “employees”, who provide

premises where the loss or damage occurred.

business for which you have a contractual responsibility to insure, or to Business Personal Property,
the most we will pay for loss or damage under this Additional Coverage is the Limit Of Insurance that
applies to your Business Personal Property.

by an act of nature or is otherwise caused. An example of a situation to which this exclusion applies is
the situation where a dam, levee, seawall or other boundary or containment system fails in whole or in
part, for any reason, to contain the water.
But if any of the above, in (1) through (4), results in fire, explosion or sprinkler leakage, we will pay for
the loss or damage caused by that fire, explosion or sprinkler leakage.

a localized incident – not part of a general, widespread flood water event.

itself caused by any flood or general flooding conditions – including but not limited to those enumerated
under the Water exclusion.

flood or general flooding conditions.

(1) You may make a claim for loss or damage covered by this insurance on an actual cash value basis
instead of a replacement cost basis. In the event you elect to have loss or damage settled on an
actual cash value basis, you may still make a claim on a replacement cost basis if you notify us of
your intent to do so within 180 days after the loss or damage.
(2) We will not pay on a replacement cost basis for any loss or damage:
(a) Until the loss or damaged property is actually repaired or replaced;
(b) Unless the repairs or replacement are made as soon as reasonably possible after the loss or
damage; and
(c) Unless the repairs or replacement are completed within:
i. 24 months (for personal property),
ii. 24 months (for buildings and other real property),
after the loss or damage, unless extended in writing by us.
However, if the cost to repair or replace the damaged building property is $2,500 or less, we will
settle the loss according to the provisions of Paragraphs a.(1) and a.(2) above whether or not the
actual repair or replacement is complete.
(3) We will not pay more for loss or damage on a replacement cost basis than the least of:
(a) The cost to replace, on the same premises, the lost or damaged property with other property:
i. Of comparable material and quality; and
ii. Used for the same purpose; or

property.
If a building is rebuilt at a new location, the recoverable amount is limited to the cost which would
have been incurred had the building been built at the original premises.
(4) The cost to repair, rebuild or replace does not include the increased cost attributable to
enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the construction, use or repair of any property.

(1) Used or second-hand merchandise held in storage or for sale;
(2) Property of others. However, if an item(s) of personal property of others is subject to a written
contract which governs your liability for loss or damage to that item(s), then valuation of that item(s)
will be based on the amount for which you are liable under such contract, but not to exceed the
lesser of the replacement cost of the property or the applicable Limit of Insurance;
(3) Household contents, except personal property in apartments or rooms furnished by you as
landlord;
(4) Manuscripts ;

(a) Multiply the original cost by the number of days from the loss or damage to the expiration of the
lease; and
(b) Divide the amount determined in (a) above by the number of days from the installation of
improvements to the expiration of the lease.
If your lease contains a renewal option, the expiration of the renewal option period will replace the
expiration of the lease in this procedure.
(3) Nothing if others pay for repairs or replacement.
(4) Nothing if you have no lease.
f. Loss or damage to "valuable papers and records" will be valued at the cost of restoration or
replacement, including the cost of data entry, re-programming, computer consultation services and the

and records" are not restored, the "valuable papers and records" will be valued at the cost of
replacement with blank materials of substantially identical type.
g. “Money” at its face value; and
h. “Securities” at their value at the close of business on the day the loss is discovered.
i. Applicable only to Accounts Receivable:
(1) If you cannot accurately establish the amount of accounts receivable outstanding as of the time of
loss or damage:

months immediately preceding the month in which the loss or damage occurs; and

month in which the loss or damage occurred or for any demonstrated variance from the
average for that month.

established:

have had.

or advanced freight charges and other charges which may have accrued or become legally due since
the shipment. If you have no invoice, actual cash value will apply.

or replacing the media with material of like kind and quality. “Electronic data” and computer software
programs at the actual cost of reproducing the “electronic data” or computer software program,

substantially identical type.

applicable Limit of Insurance under any one coverage part, form, endorsement or policy.
A. SCHEDULED COVERAGES
The following paragraphs amend coverage provided under SECTION I – PROPERTY of the
BUSINESSOWNERS COVERAGE FORM.
1. Animal Bailee Coverage
Under Paragraph A.5. Additional Coverages, the following is added:
a. We will pay for loss or damage to “covered animals” while in your care, custody or control for veterinary
services at any insured premises or while in transit in your owned, leased or hired vehicles. Such
veterinary services include treatment, breeding, grooming, and boarding. Loss under this Additional
Coverage includes escape.
For purposes of this Additional Coverage, the following definition is added:
“Covered animals” means animals of others while in your care, custody or control and includes
animals of others at any insured premises awaiting or receiving veterinary services or animals owned
by you or your “employees”. “Covered animals” does not include animals held for sale, lease or rental
to others.
For purposes of this Additional Coverage, under Paragraph A.2. Property Not Covered, Sub-
Paragraph j. is deleted.
b. Under this Additional Coverage, we will also pay for the following:
(1) Legal Liability
(a) Damages
We will pay all sums you become legally obligated to pay as damages because of your liability
for loss to “covered animals” caused by or resulting from a Covered Cause of Loss.
Our obligation for payment of damages under this coverage does not apply to your liability for
the actual value of the “covered animals” as insured elsewhere under this Additional Coverage.
(b) Defense
We will have the right and duty to defend any “suit” against you seeking damages for loss to
“covered animals” caused by or resulting from an “occurrence”, even if any of the allegatio ns of
the “suit” are not true. However, we will have no duty to defend the insured against any “suit”
seeking damages for loss to “covered animals” to which this insurance does not apply. We
may, at our discretion, investigate any “occurrence” and settle any claim or “suit” that may
result.
After we have paid the Limit Of Insurance that applies to damages under paragraph b.(1)(a) of
this Additional Coverage in a settlement or pursuant to a judgment, we have no duty:
i. To pay any other sums as damages; or
ii. To defend any “suit” including the one which has been settled or on which a judgment has
been paid.
(c) Supplementary Payments
In addition to the Limit Of Insurance that applies to damages under paragraph b.(1)(a) of this
Additional Coverage, we will pay:
i. Expenses we incur to adjust claims or suits;
ii. Costs, including all expenses of litigation taxed against you in any “suit” we defend;
iii. All interest which accrues after the entry of a judgment in a “suit” we defend. Our duty to
pay interest ends when we pay that part of the judgment which does not exceed our Limits
of Insurance specified in paragraph b.(1)(a) of this Additional Coverage.
iv. Premiums on appeal bonds:
(i) In any “suit” we defend;
(ii) To release attachments in any “suit” we defend.
But we will not pay the premiums for bond amounts greater than the applicable Limits of
Insurance specified in paragraph b.(1)(a) of this Additional Coverage, and we have no
obligation to apply for or defend against a claim or “suit”.
These payments will not reduce the limit of liability.

under this Additional Expense provision in any one policy period, regardless of the number of
“occurrences” is $5,000.+

Loss, we will pay the actual expense to move the “covered animal” to safety.

regardless of how many “covered animals” are in your care, custody or control.
(4) Uncollectible Accounts

delinquent from the end of the month in which the payment was due. Uncollectible accounts
that predate the policy effective date do not qualify under this provision.
(b) The most we will pay for accrued charges due from any one customer is $250. The most we
will pay for accrued charges in any one “occurrence” is $1,000.
We will not pay for uncollectible charges on any claim for which the loss to the “covered animals” is
less than the deductible that applies to such loss.
(5) Advertising and Reward
(a) We will pay the cost of advertising in newspapers to aid in the recovery of “covered animals”
that are lost or stolen while in your care, custody or control. “Covered animals” stolen by your
“employees” are not covered under this coverage.
(b) We will also pay a reward to the person or persons, who are not “employees”, who provide

premises where the loss or damage occurred.

business for which you have a contractual responsibility to insure, or to Business Personal Property,
the most we will pay for loss or damage under this Additional Coverage is the Limit Of Insurance that
applies to your Business Personal Property.

instead of a replacement cost basis. In the event you elect to have loss or damage settled on an
actual cash value basis, you may still make a claim on a replacement cost basis if you notify us of
your intent to do so within 180 days after the loss or damage.
(2) We will not pay on a replacement cost basis for any loss or damage:
(a) Until the loss or damaged property is actually repaired or replaced;
(b) Unless the repairs or replacement are made as soon as reasonably possible after the loss or
damage; and
(c) Unless the repairs or replacement are completed within:
i. 24 months (for personal property),
ii. 24 months (for buildings and other real property),
after the loss or damage, unless extended in writing by us.
However, if the cost to repair or replace the damaged building property is $2,500 or less, we will
settle the loss according to the provisions of Paragraphs a.(1) and a.(2) above whether or not the
actual repair or replacement is complete.
(3) We will not pay more for loss or damage on a replacement cost basis than the least of:
(a) The cost to replace, on the same premises, the lost or damaged property with other property:
i. Of comparable material and quality; and
ii. Used for the same purpose; or

property.
If a building is rebuilt at a new location, the recoverable amount is limited to the cost which would
have been incurred had the building been built at the original premises.
(4) The cost to repair, rebuild or replace does not include the increased cost attributable to
enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the construction, use or repair of any property.

(2) Property of others. However, if an item(s) of personal property of others is subject to a written
contract which governs your liability for loss or damage to that item(s), then valuation of that item(s)
will be based on the amount for which you are liable under such contract, but not to exceed the
lesser of the replacement cost of the property or the applicable Limit of Insurance;
(3) Household contents, except personal property in apartments or rooms furnished by you as
landlord;
(4) Manuscripts ;

(a) Multiply the original cost by the number of days from the loss or damage to the expiration of the
lease; and
(b) Divide the amount determined in (a) above by the number of days from the installation of
improvements to the expiration of the lease.
If your lease contains a renewal option, the expiration of the renewal option period will replace the
expiration of the lease in this procedure.
(3) Nothing if others pay for repairs or replacement.
(4) Nothing if you have no lease.
f. Loss or damage to "valuable papers and records" will be valued at the cost of restoration or
replacement, including the cost of data entry, re-programming, computer consultation services and the

replacement with blank materials of substantially identical type.
g. “Money” at its face value; and
h. “Securities” at their value at the close of business on the day the loss is discovered.
i. Applicable only to Accounts Receivable:
(1) If you cannot accurately establish the amount of accounts receivable outstanding as of the time of
loss or damage:

months immediately preceding the month in which the loss or damage occurs; and

month in which the loss or damage occurred or for any demonstrated variance from the
average for that month.

established:

have had.

or replacing the media with material of like kind and quality. “Electronic data” and computer software
programs at the actual cost of reproducing the “electronic data” or computer software program,
