Additional Information
Blanket Coverage
Blanket coverage is allowed for jewelry and fine arts subject to the following:
- For blanket jewelry, scheduled jewelry is required and the scheduld jewelry limit cannot be less than the blanket jewelry limit.
- Blanket fine arts requires either scheduled fine arts or scheduled jewelry.
Security
A central station alarm is required for schedules of 100,000 or more in value.
A permanently installed non-portable safe is required for schedules with 100,000 or more of jewelry.
The above are not warranties on the policy but are requirements to obtain coverage.
Large Collections of Homogeneous Items
For risk with large schedules of wine, we don’t require each bottle be scheduled. In lieu of scheduling each item, a single line item can be scheduled with the following as an example:
"1,000 bottles of wine not to exceed $500 per bottle."
The same technique may be used for large collections of baseball cards, stamps, coins, etc.
Not Available Under this Program
The following is not available under this program:
- A lower rate for keeping jewelry items in a bank vault.
- Blanket coverage for personal property. (i.e. a Personal Property Floater)
- Coverage for items only while in storage (if some of the items are in storage, there is coverage, but we are not looking to cover schedules with 100% of items in storage).
