Confirm the payment schedule (lump sum or installments), method (wire, check), and exact due dates. Address tax implications: specify if the payment is taxable and who handles tax reporting. Other crucial terms include confidentiality obligations, any required actions from you (like returning property), and provisions for what happens if a payment is missed. A clear breach clause is essential for enforcement.

Report any situation where someone claims they were hurt, or their property was damaged, and they suggest you might be responsible. This includes formal lawsuits, demand letters, or even a verbal accusation. Also, report any event you believe could lead to a claim, like a customer slipping in your store or a car accident, even if no one is currently blaming you. It’s better to report a potential issue that fades away than to miss a reporting deadline for a claim that surfaces months later.

These three numbers represent the maximum amounts your insurer will pay per accident. The first number (100) is for bodily injury per person, in thousands. The second (300) is the total bodily injury limit for all people hurt. The third (50) is for property damage you cause to others, like their car or a fence. Using 100/300/50, your insurer pays up to $100,000 per injured person, max $300,000 total for all injuries, and up to $50,000 for all damaged property.
