Can I drive a new/used car home off the lot.

If you are already insured, proof of your current insurance should suffice since most policies will cover your new car for a limited time. If you're not certain your existing policy will cover your new car, {module_contentholder name="ask-clover"} or check your policy. If you are not covered, you will need to purchase new coverage. The dealership will provide your new vehicle's information to your insurer and you can complete your purchase before you drive away.

How much time do I have to add a new car to my existing car insurance policy? 

This varies on the insurance provider/policy - {module_contentholder name="ask-clover"} to confirm your situation.

Bid Bond

Bid Bonds (Tender Bonds)

{module_contentholder name="contact"}

Guarantee your low bids win with integrity

As a contractor, you understand how difficult it can be to win a bid for a project development. Setting your bid low is always helpful, but you should also consider filing a tender bond. In fact, some project developers will actually make this a requirement before placing a bid. Below, you will learn all about our bid bonds also known as tender bonds and why you will want to incorporate them into your upcoming project.

A bid bond is a bond where the contractor i.e. the principal guarantees the obligee i.e. the owner, that the principal will honor the bid and sign the contract, if bid is awarded. In default of the bid the owner may sue both the obligator i.e. the principal and the surety.

This bond guarantees that the bidder will carry on the contract at the bid price if bid is awarded. If the bidder is allowed to take away the bid before granted, no action may be taken against the bidder or bid security.

The bid bond generally indemnifies the faithful performance with regards to the bid. Bid Bonds guarantee the sincerity of the bidders.

Who are bid bonds for?

  • Developers
  • General Contractors
  • Subcontractors
  • Road Contractors
  • Sewer and Water main Contractors
  • Other Heavy Civil Contractors
  • Service Contractors (Waste Removal, Janitorial Firms, etc.)
  • Specialty Contractors
  • Manufacturers

If you have any questions {module_contentholder name="ask-clover"}.

What information you should have to Get Started

  • Quantity of your bid
  • Date of your bid
  • Your bond history
  • Company History
  • Personal Current Credit Score

You may also be required to submit your financial credentials when applying for your bid bond.

Bid Bonds if not already required, will give you an advantage over other bidders.

The construction and development world is extremely competitive. Which makes bid bonds so important for a winning bidder. This agreement or contract will protect the developer from having the project pulled out from under them, after they have won the bid.

Why developers should require bid bonds.

Simply put, projects cost a lot of money. Wasted time is not an option. Contractors who come to the table with bid bonds show they are able to get the job done. And should there be a question, the bond company or surety will guarantee that the bidding developer will be able to complete the project per the agreement.

Boat Insurance

Boat insurance

Boat insurance is coverage for motorized watercraft in the event of loss or damage to

your boat – these include pontoons, fishing boats, leisure crafts and yachts.


Boiler and Machinery Application

Boiler and Machinery Insurance

Equipment Breakdown Insurance

 

Why do I need equipment breakdown insurance?

Equipment Breakdown insurance provides coverage for the accidental breakdown of equipment. This type of coverage is different from property or insurance for businesses.

Your property coverage would cover property damage in the event of a fire. But what covers your production equipment?  
The answer is "Boiler and Machinery" or "Equipment Breakdown Insurance".

Call Clover and speak to an agent who will go over your business and options.

“Property/casualty policies only cover damages to your equipment from “external” causes, such as a fire, a flood, hail, windstorm, and earthquake. Property/casualty policies do not cover damage from “internal” causes such as mechanical failure of the equipment, electrical short circuit, motor burnout, centrifugal force, a boiler overheating or cracking, and mechanical breakdown. Coverage for these types of losses requires a “Boiler and Machinery” insurance policy.”

Why do I need machinery breakdown insurance?

Equipment Breakdown insurance is a critical component of all small business insurance packages.

Breakdown coverage not only provides protection for electrical system failures, but it also provides coverage for air conditioning and refrigeration systems, telecommunications, mechanical equipment, security and fire detection systems, diagnostic equipment, inventory control systems, computer system, fired hot water heaters and boilers.

The cost of a breakdown in today's world can be even more expensive than ever. Business and speed of business means every minute you are down can cost you dearly.  Online delivery systems, on-site computer systems, even mobile equipment being stolen or damaged. Being covered would mean getting it fixed, replaced and repaired FAST.

Review all your risk exposures carefully and consult your Clover insurance broker to determine if optional insurance protection is available to meet these needs.

Does equipment breakdown insurance cover me if my software gets a virus?

No. Damage or downtime from virus is NOT coverd. But you can speak to your broker about Cyber Insurance.
Equipment or mechanical breakdown insurance policies are for “hardware” insurance, and is not “software” insurance. That means that if your production equipment or computers suffer some sort of physical damage, equipment breakdown insurance will cover that.

Can I buy coverage for loss of income due to production or other equipment failure?

Yes. However, this is not usually covered under an “equipment breakdown” policy. Protection against loss of income due to equipment breakdown requires coverage called “business interruption” or “service interruption.”

Similarly, there is perishable goods coverage (consequential loss) to protect the value of foodstuffs or other materials that spoil as a consequence of a breakdown.

What about warranties? Why do I need equipment breakdown insurance?

Although warranties and service contracts provide some protection, they do not cover many of the common causes of equipment breakdowns. For example, typical maintenance contracts cover routine service such as periodic calibrations and other adjustments, and possibly cleaning, etc. However, such contracts do not pay for damages due to operator error, for example. Your equipment breakdown policy does cover such losses. Likewise, warranties and maintenance contracts do not pay for loss of income that results from equipment breakdown; nor do they pay for spoilage, damage to surrounding property or extra expenses to restore operations. Buying equipment breakdown insurance is critical as it covers all of these risks.

I don’t own the building, so why do I still need equipment breakdown coverage?

As a tenant you may not be responsible for the building’s electrical, air conditioning or heating systems, but it is important to check your lease to be sure you are not responsible for the equipment that services your premises. If you are not responsible for these systems, your business operations and income are still dependent upon equipment of others. If the electrical, heating or cooling system of your landlord broke down, the interruption of those services can impact you. So, getting the right equipment breakdown coverage is essential to protect you even in contingencies like this.

Okay, so how much boiler & machinery insurance should I buy?

Each business is unique and so your equipment breakdown insurance should be tailored to your precise needs. For example, if the destructive potential of some of your equipment is low, (contrast this with equipment such as boilers, pressure vessels and some water heaters, which can produce enough power to damage huge sections of the building), then less coverage would be needed.

COMMERCIAL SURETY

Clover Insurance Brokers offers the range of commercial surety our clients need to meet their licensing, regulatory and financial security requirements. Whatever your surety needs, we can help.

License and Permit Bonds

Governments often regulate businesses and activities where misrepresentation, incompetence or fraudulent dealings could create some risk to the public. License and permit bonds guarantee that a business or individual will comply with a statute, by-law or regulation.

Lost Document Bonds

When a valuable document such as a stock or investment certificate, bond or certified cheque is lost, stolen or destroyed, the Issuer usually requires a Lost Document Bond before providing a replacement document. This bond guarantees that the Issuer or transfer agent will be reimbursed by the document's owner if the original is cashed or presented for payment.

Administration, Property Guardianship Bonds

Fiduciary Bonds, which comply with probate and bankruptcy requirements, are required by the courts or the public guardian. These bonds ensure the performance of those appointed to manage the assets of an estate, or to distribute the assets to rightful creditors and/or beneficiaries as required by law or a will.

Administration bonds, which include Administrator/Executor Bonds, Administration with Will Annexed Bonds and Foreign Executor Bonds, guarantee the faithful performance of the administrator or executor's duties under an estate and the faithful accounting for the property entrusted to their care.

Customs and Excise Bonds

Customs and Excise Bonds are required by the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) and guarantee the payment of any duties or taxes, as prescribed by various Acts or Regulations. Customs Bonds allow for the immediate release of imported goods prior to final determination and/or payment of required tariffs, duties and taxes.

Excise Bonds allow businesses to use or ship goods prior to the payment of applicable excise taxes.

Committee / Property Guardianship Bonds

What is a Guardianship Bond?

A Guardianship Bond is a type of surety bond that ensures an individual who has been appointed in a court of law will perform and fulfill his or her obligations and duties faithfully and ethically. Generally, guardians are appointed for minors or people who can no longer care for themselves anymore, such as a disabled or elderly person.

 

What do Guardianship Bonds do?

Guardianship Bonds work similar to insurance. But instead of protecting you, they protect the person you are caring for. They protect against losses or damages should you behave improperly or unethically. This means if you steal money from a minor’s trust that you are caring for, a claim can be made against your bond and the minor won’t suffer any loss.

These bonds guarantee you will not abuse or neglect the person you are caring for. And if you do, the minor or incapacitated individual is protected by the bond.

 

Who needs a Guardianship Bond?

You will most likely need a Guardianship Bond if you are caring for a minor or someone who is unable to care for themselves, such as a disabled or elderly person.

 

Condo Unit Owner

Condo Unit Owner

Condo Unit Owner Insurance is coverage for personal property, which is not covered under the condo corporation’s insurance policy. That typically just covers the outside of the actual building and not the contents of unit and not liability.  For example, if there is a fire in your unit where smoke and water causes damages to neighboring units, you as the Condo Unit Owners will be liable.

Why and what do I need insurance on a condo unit?

  • You are responsible for half the walls, floor and ceiling. Your neighbour is responsible for their half of the walls. The common elements and wiring shafts are owned by the condominium corporation.
  • You require Contingent Condominium coverage (Property) for the shortfall of the Condominium corporation in the event they do not purchase adequate coverage.
  • Loss Assessment (Liability) will cover the shortfall in excess of the Condominium corporations' liability limits.
  • Contents coverage for the interior of the unit which you own. Including Your Personal Items.
  • Tenant's Improvements for things that you have changed within your unit e.g. flooring, carpet etc. Which could also be known as contents and liability.
  • The cost for a condominium package is similar to that of a tenant's package however they have thrown in the above specialized coverages at basic limits because they are necessary.

 

Why does my mortgage broker say I only need Contents Coverage for my condo?

  • Your mortgage broker is not your insurance broker, contact your insurance broker for the right advice

Cyber Security Liability

CyberRisk

One system hack can shut down a business. One policy can protect it.

There is a lot at stake in how your customers manage their data. One stolen laptop or one resourceful hacker can cause a data breach with enormous consequences.    For example, did you know the average cost of a data breach in 2010 was $2.7 million?*

Since 2008, more than 500 million data records from U.S. businesses of all types and sizes have been compromised, including those containing customers’    private information and companies’ financials.**

The number of data breaches was up 29% in 2010, with over 350 breaches voluntarily reported across Canada in 2010, according to the Privacy Commissioner    of Canada.

Every system upgrade, every remote device, every incoming e-mail can mean a new risk to your customers’ data and even electronic theft of their funds.    And the risks are not only financial, they can also negatively impact your customer’s reputation.

One coverage solution for all your customer’s cyber exposures/h4> Your customers need contemporary coverage that can take on the full range of risks    to their data and systems. That is exactly what CyberRisk was built for. It has the essential features your customers need for today’s and tomorrow’s    technology exposures.

       
  •        One stop shopping – CyberRisk boasts ten insuring agreements, which together deliver a truly comprehensive coverage solution.            Patching coverage together with multiple insurers or traditional policies is now a thing of the past.    
  •

  •        We know cyber – We have been writing technology related coverages for over 25 years. We are also a leading writer of related specialty            crime coverages. We know what it takes to craft the right program for your customers.    

Why ten insuring agreements?

Because the ripple effect can be staggering!

It is true. When your customer’s system, data or electronic bank accounts are compromised, the fallout can be far-reaching. See the other side of this    sheet to read about potential claim scenarios arising from a breach and how the CyberRisk policy’s ten insuring agreements would respond.

CyberRisk Coverage Highlights


Developer Surety

Directors and Officers

DIRECTORS & OFFICERS LIABILITY INSURANCE

Many private companies assume their directors and officers do not risk liability exposure because there are no public shareholders. This is a flawed and potentially expensive assumption.

In fact, private companies share most of the same risks as public ones. Their directors and officers may be sued by governments, employees, customers, suppliers and partners, and for issues arising out of mergers and acquisitions. A director and officer of any company faces tremendous potential exposure.

That’s where directors and officers insurance comes in. A business buys this coverage to protect these key people from allegations and liability arising from wrongful acts or alleged wrongful acts.

What is Covered?

The most typical claim is in the area of statutory liability. For example, in Canada, directors can be held personally liable for unpaid wages and vacation pay, and for withholding taxes that become payable while they are in office. Liability is imposed without fault on any or all directors who can make the payment. This situation arises when appropriate payments are not made or when the company becomes financially insolvent – and liability can be imposed up to two years after directors cease to hold office.

Another big area of coverage centres on employment practices and claims that arise from them. The majority of claims come from wrongful employee termination, discrimination and harassment, and humiliation.

Why do I need it?

Directors and officers insurance can go a long way toward covering this potential exposure. But most insurance companies will want to see a policies and procedures manual in place – the best defence with regards to employment practices. The manual should describe what your business will not tolerate. If policies are not documented, it is very difficult for the company to defend itself. This manual needs to be a living document that is always current and legally correct, and it should accurately outline the company’s practices. The key is full, timely and honest disclosure, and complete documentation.

If the company has minority shareholders, directors can also be sued for lack of full and timely disclosure and for general breach of fiduciary duty. If you have minority shareholders and you act to convey assets away from them, you can be held liable as a director.

Directors and officers insurance cover actual or alleged unintentional acts arising from a lack of good judgement, poor management, lack of skill or ability, or an absence of due diligence. It deals with the results of failure to act, failure to supervise and conflict of interest.

Umbrella Application

Commercial Umbrella

Umbrella liability policy provides an insured with an “umbrella” of liability protection over the primarily liability insurance.

Cover Your Business with Umbrella Liability Insurance

Standard business liability coverage takes care of you and your business in most situations, but should a serious situations arise, commercial umbrella insurance will help ensure that your business is protected. 

What is umbrella insurance?

Umbrella liability insurance protects you when accidents happen and your existing liability insurance policies cannot cover all the expenses. Essentially, it picks up where your general liability or other liability coverage stops, providing extra protection against bodily injury and/or property damage.

How commercial umbrella insurance works

A commercial umbrella policy serves two specific purposes:

  • It expands the limit that your company already has in its existing, or underlying, liability policies.
    If your general liability policy offers a specific amount of coverage per occurrence, or has a maximum total amount, you can expand the limits with an 'extra' or 'umbrella' policy.
  • It also provides coverage for things that your underlying policies may not cover.
    Some areas or situations that might exempt coverage by your main policy can be covered with an umbrella policy.
    The most obvious example would be to expand the coverage territory.

Customize your umbrella policy to fit your business needs

Our staff will fine tune your commercial umbrella policies to suit the needs of almost any business.
