Third Party Liability and the TULIP

1. Third Party Liability and the TULIP Updated 01/26/2012

2. What is Risk Management? • Identification • Assessment • Evaluation • Action • Tracking and Report

3. Tenant-User Liability • Refers to the legal obligation of outside users of institutional owned facilities • Typically rent or use a facility for a single event • Often times don’t have a general liability policy

4. Facility User Risk Mgt Techniques • Hold Harmless A promise to pay any costs or claims which may result from an agreement. Quite often this is part of a settlement agreement, in which one party is concerned that there might be unknown lawsuits or claims stemming from the situation, so the other party agrees to cover them. • Indemnity Clause. The obligation resting on one person to make good any loss or damage another has incurred or may incur by acting at his request or for his benefit, or a right which injures to a person who has discharged a duty which is owed to him but which, as between himself and another, should have been discharged by the other. • Insurance Requirements • Acceptable Certificates of Insurance *From User’s Agent * From TULIP Program

5. When should we ask for 3rd party coverage? • When any group, organization, individual, clubs, religious entities, companies, or third party use your facilities • When it in is the financial interest of your school or organization to have a 3rd party assume the risk of an event and include you as an additional insured

6. Why does a Facility User need Liability Insurance • To protect your organization (added as an additional insured) • To protect the client contact personally • To provide liability coverage and legal defense for claims

7. Certificates of Insurance • A Certificate of Insurance shows facility user has purchased an insurance policy • Allows the school to determine if the insurance requirements of the contract have been met • pay for loss of or damage to property • pay judgments or settlements • protect the school if costs are incurred as a result of the insured's negligent acts or omissions • support the indemnification provisions of the contract

8. It confirms that client does indeed have insurance

9. It tells you how much insurance

10. It tells by whom they are insured

11. It gives you the coverage date

12. What is an additional insured? • As an additional insured the member institution has coverage under the facility user's insurance policy • for claims and suits alleged by injured parties • For legal representation for a claim or lawsuit in which the School is named • Without this coverage, the member institution would have to provide its own defense in the event it was named in a suit

13. It adds your institution as an additional insured and certificate holder

14. How long should Certificates of Insurance be retained? • Certificates should be retained for at least 3 years after the conclusion of the business for which the certificate was obtained. • In some cases, the retention period must be longer: for instance in the case of a minor that is injured in a non school sponsored event

15. Acceptable Insurance? Users often have difficulty obtaining acceptable insurance Evidence of acceptable insurance is often questionable Limits may have been eroded, thus claims may not be paid Limited number of carriers

16. Tenant User’s Liability Policy (TULIP) Tenant User’s Liability Insurance Program (TULIP) is a low-cost insurance policy that protects both the facility user and the owner The policy applies to bodily injury and property damage arising out of the use of the owner’s premises by external users These third parties have no relationship to the owner outside of a contractual arrangement for the use of the owner’s premises Premium costs will be paid by the third party unless other arrangements are made with the owner Premium costs are based on factors including: nature of the event, duration of the event, number of participants, level of risk of the event, and any special requirements such as liquor liability etc.

17. Who Can Use A TULIP TULIP Program covers activities and events of facility users that are privately or publicly owned and/or operated by municipalities, public agencies, colleges, universities, schools, hotel and convention complexes, fraternal organizations, and any other public or private organization Most owners will honor an acceptable certificate of insurance as a means of meeting their contractual obligation to indemnify and hold harmless the owner in the event of a covered financial loss

18. TULIP Advantages Serves as a promotion/sales tool for the facility to attract more users and increases revenues to the facility by having insurance readily available at reasonable rates Provides facility owners with direct knowledge of the insurance, its terms, conditions, limitations and insurer financial stability, without depending on the user to find acceptable insurance Eliminates the need and potential difficulties for the user to find acceptable insurance and provides a certificate of insurance Eliminates the last-minute rush to obtain certificates in order to book the facility Offers convenience and functionality to both the entity and its users

19. TULIP Advantages TULIP coverage is designed to be transactional non-bid business for the benefit of the carrier, user and owner This coverage is generally designed for short-term events with limited start-up and teardown time Rates are set per performance/per event/per day or per admission. TULIP programs group events by exposure and (Class I, Class II and Class III) Since this business is high volume, an automated rating and quoting process would lower transactional costs, enhance response timing, and provide an efficient means of delivering this product Automatic internet program can deliver an acceptable policy for as low as $100 per event.

20. Special Consideration Coverage Coverage excluded, but may be submitted for special underwriting consideration outside the TULIP program and written on a stand alone policy. The following are a few examples: Events with Animals Controversial Public Forums Events with Automobile Exposures (Racing) Aircraft
