Tidal waves and other office contents exclusions

The nitty gritty about what’s not covered

 

Yes, it’s true. We don’t cover damages or losses to your office contents that’s caused by tidal wave. Or as a result of any underground workings of a mine. Or damage by zombies. But just how would you know all of this?

Well, it’s all out there in our online policy docs. And we do also send you this info when you’ve bought your policy. However, if you’re trying to find out more about office contents before you buy it, then you might not look through the policy info… We totally get it. Which is why we try to put the important info about our business insurance (like the exclusions associated with office contents cover) in as many places as possible.

Without further ado… Here is a short list that identifies all the office contents exclusions. And if you’re still trying to track down a similarly short intro to what’s covered with this policy, then click over here.
