What's not covered by Elders business insurance?

Like all policies, Elders business insurance has exclusions. The general exclusions in the Business Pack PDS apply to every section of the policy and include:

  • Loss or damage caused by war, terrorism or nuclear material.
  • Damage or liability caused intentionally by you, a member of your family or someone acting with your consent.
  • Loss or damage arising from a cyber incident, with some exceptions for physical damage covered under the property section.
  • Loss or damage while your business premises are left unoccupied for an extended period without the insurer's written consent.
  • Any cover, claim or benefit that would breach sanctions laws.

Each section also has its own exclusions. For example, accidental damage cover under the property section doesn't cover wear and tear, gradual deterioration or faulty workmanship. There are also policy conditions, excesses and limits on covers and additional benefits.
