Information Technology (Professional Indemnity and Public & Products Liability).

Professional Indemnity Section of Cover:

The policy is designed to protect a game developer in the event they become legally liable to pay in respect of claims for compensation for personal injury/bodily injury or property damage as a result of an occurrence in the insurance period in connection with the insured’s business description stated in the policy schedule.

Contractors are quite often engaged to provide specific services for game developers, some policies for a small premium will extend coverage under the policy to include contractors only for the services they are engaged to perform for and on behalf the Insured. Any contractor should carry their own insurances.

Claims can be very expensive to defend, these policies are extended to provide an Insured with Defence Costs too. Specific coverage requirements must be met for a game developer under this section of the policy, so having the right advisor is important, especially even more so when you are doing business with USA and Canadian companies.
