Chapter recap
Commercial Package Policy (CPP) Program
The modular CPP and its two common modules
✦
Modular = standard pieces assembled to fit the business.
✦
Every CPP: Common Policy Declarations + Common Policy Conditions.
✦
Limits and deductibles sit in each coverage part's declarations.
Package minimums, advantages and monoline policies
✦
Package minimum = common declarations + common conditions + 2 or more coverage parts.
✦
Workers' compensation is not a CPP coverage part.
✦
Monoline = one coverage part, no package credit.
First named insured, premiums, and "you" vs. "we"
✦
First named insured = pays premium, receives refunds, requests changes, cancels.
✦
"You/your" = named insured; "we/us/our" = insurer.
Common Policy Conditions: cancellation and changes
✦
ISO base cancellation notice: 10 days nonpayment, 30 days other reasons.
✦
Policy terms change only by an insurer-issued endorsement.
Books and records, inspections, and transfer of rights
✦
Books and records: policy period + up to 3 years after.
✦
Inspections serve insurability and premium, not safety.
✦
Transfer needs the insurer's written consent; at death, rights pass to the legal representative.
✦
§520: a claim for a loss that already happened can be assigned.
California amendatory endorsement: cancellation rules
✦
After 60 days: cancel only for listed reasons (nonpayment, fraud/misrepresentation, material change in risk).
✦
Notice must give the effective date and the reasons.
✦
Mailed within California: +5 days (30 becomes 35).
California nonrenewal notice and short-rate refunds
✦
Nonrenewal notice: 60 to 120 days before expiration.
✦
Late notice: same terms for 60 days after the notice is given.
✦
Short-rate refund or cancellation fee: disclose in writing.
