Indemnity
The policy will indemnify the owner for damages or losses in excess of the design professional’s available insurance or the self-insured retention, whichever is greater.
Expanded Definition of “Professional Consultant”
This addresses the independent consultants who are not part of the prime design team and are contracting directly with the project owner.
Difference in Conditions Clause
To the extent the policy terms and conditions are broader than the underlying architects/engineers policies, the policy will respond to the claim, subject to the self-insured retention.
Third-party Defense Costs
Costs incurred by the owner in defending third-party claims arising from the services performed by the architect/engineer or contractor are covered.
