What it Covers
What It Covers
This is a general liability policy. It is not accident insurance. Liability insurance covers you in the event you are sued and is sometimes required by venues.
This policy provides liability coverage in the amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence, with an aggregate limit of $3,000,000 per caller, per event. It protects you, the caller, for any acts, or omissions of acts, that result in bodily injury or property damage while you are calling dances or related activities. ("Related activities" include regular dances, workshops, and classes.)
This insurance is for callers only, not groups. The policy does NOT cover dancers, musicians or your equipment. We do also offer Group Liability Insurance to our affiliated groups in the US.
How it Works
How It Works
Here's how the program works:
- Insurance coverage is May 1, 2020 through April 30, 2021; applications are accepted after May 1, but rates are not prorated - the premium remains the same throughout the year. All coverage ends on April 30.
- Please allow 2 weeks for processing of insurance requests. If you need a certificate more quickly, it is usually possible, just contact us.
- All certificates will be e-mailed unless you specifically request otherwise.
- The cost is $65. "Additional insureds" no longer require an extra fee.
- You MUST be a CDSS member in good standing to access this coverage.
