Insurance
One of the many benefits of a Group Membership
in ACT is our Insurance Policy coverage. It is effective
September 1 to August 31, concurrent
with your ACT Membership. Groups should ensure that their dues are paid by September 1 of
each year, because without a paid up membership,
your group is NOT covered by our insurance policy. Your insurance coverage will begin when we receive your Group membership
fee.
For a more detailed description of the ACT Insurance Coverage, please visit our Insurance Web Page
Basic
Coverage examples include Property Damage, Medical Expenses, Tenants Legal Liability, Personal Injury.
Liability Coverage
-
Bodily Injury Liability - e.g. If an
audience member is injured during a performance or rehearsal of an ACT member
group, and that group was found legally liable to pay damages due to negligence;
then that group is covered.
-
Property Damage Liability - e.g. If an
ACT member group borrowed, leased, or rented furniture and damaged the furniture
and was therefore liable; the policy would provide coverage for the repair
or replacement of the furniture (whichever is lower and less deductible).
-
Tenants Fire Liability - e.g. If an ACT
member group has borrowed or rented space (storage space or a theatre) and
a fire occurs in that space and it is proven that the fire was caused as
a result of the member's negligence; then the policy would respond subject
to a deductible and total limit.
It should be noted that this insurance does not
cover personal property of the group (flats, lights, props etc.).
There is coverage for the personal property of others while in the
ACT member groups care, custody or control.
This liability insurance is just one more reason
to register your group with ACT by September 1st each year!
