Reinforcing its commitment to create highly customized policies that meet the desires of the fashionable live and special event production industry, Take1 Insurance announced the introduction of its Take1 Combined Crisis Cover, the industry's first comprehensive, affordably priced insurance protection policy for the live and special event industry that gives immediate coverage of as much as $1-million annually within the event of, or threat of, malicious acts including terrorism and that due to an active assailant who interrupts or cancels a planned live event.  Created by Take1 Insurance as a Coverholder of Lloyd’s, the policy also protects against property damage and general liability as a result of an active assailant. 

The Take1 Combined Crisis Cover policy contemplates the various much more likely malicious acts, or threat of malicious acts, industry professionals can face in today's increasingly complex world where, unfortunately, professionals have to be excited about entertainment events becoming a growing target for terrorists and perpetrators of violence.  The policy is perfect for event service firms (equipment rental, audio/visual production and installation companies, in addition to event planners/promoters), DICE (producers of documentary, industrial, commercial, and academic content), and touring entertainers, shell corporations, festivals, special events, and venues.

Unlike TRIPRA (Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act) coverage that may be currently offered on virtually every commercial insurance policy, the brand new Take1 Combined Crisis Cover isn't specific to the commission of a terrorist act as determined on a case by case basis by the united states.. Secretary of the Treasury and which has difficult-to-achieve minimum damage thresholds to ensure that insurance policy to reply.  

“TRIPRA is designed to offer protection to against extraordinary loss after at least $5-million in aggregate loss is achieved,” Take1 Insurance Executive Vice chairman & Program Director Scott Carroll said.  “We believe that our insureds and their agents need an insurance program that kicks in immediately whenever a malicious act, or threat thereof – which is able to include terrorism, but doesn't want to – is either committed or threatened in some way that forces the interruption or cancellation of, or causes property damage or creates certain liabilities at, a planned event.  This new multi-peril policy provides them with an inexpensive solution to recoup a few of their business interruption, property damage, and likely liability losses.”

According to Carroll, the Take1 Combined Crisis Cover policy includes coverage for Active Assailant, Threat of Malicious Acts, Terrorism Property Damage and Business Interruption Loss, in addition to Terrorism and Active Assailant Liability.  A policy offering annual coverage can be bought for just a little as $745, dependent on limit and risk profile, and applies anywhere within the Usa and its territories.  The Combined Crisis Cover is designed to supply insurance protection for firms suffering from tragedies that can never be deemed to be an act of terrorism, comparable to Boston Marathon Bombings and the newer Pulse Nightclub Shootings — either one of that have been not certified as acts of terrorism.

“If you're whatsoever eager about the staging, hosting, promotion, or performing in a live event of any kind, including corporate, in a stadium or arena, theater, indoor venue, outdoor festival location, concert hall, or cruise ship that the possibilities of your event, and subsequent business operation, being impacted by a terrorist or malicious act are very real.  This is the unlucky reality of our times,” Carroll emphasized.  “But now there's a way so that you can protect against many perils for an overly reasonable cost, with a low deductible of between $1,000 and $2,500 (dependent on the limit purchased), and coverage protection as much as $1-million annually.”  Additional limits could also be available with carrier discussion.
