Accuracy of Information
Any quote is offered based upon exposures to loss known to InShare at the time of this quotation. If any information is inaccurate, the terms and conditions, premium, or even availability of the insurance summarized here may be subject to change. If you have changes in your business operations at any time, please notify us as soon as possible so coverage can be discussed.

Materials we present are intended as a summary only and do not include all the policy terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions. Specimen copies are available for your review prior to the binding of coverage, upon your request. Please refer to your actual policies for specific coverage information. In the event of a discrepancy, the policy will supersede any other binder or specimen policy.
Requests to bind or change coverage or submit claims through email, voice mail or other means will not take effect until you receive written communication from your InShare representative confirming coverage is bound or that your claim notice has been submitted.
Higher Limits
Although we may have quoted specific policy limits, higher limits of liability may be available. Please notify InShare if you are interested in higher limits.
Property Value Determination
Property value determination is ultimately the insured’s responsibility. Values should be reviewed for accuracy to avoid the possibility of being underinsured.
Premium Summary Disclaimer
Premiums may be subject to additional state taxes, surcharges or assessments, surplus lines taxes, and/or fees other than those shown above. Policy premium may also be subject to audit which could result in additional premium owed after the policy period concludes.
Compensation Disclosure
InShare Services, Inc. with affiliates and subsidiaries, including InShare, Inc., (collectively “InShare”). These entities are insurance producers licensed in accordance with respective state requirements. Insurance producers are authorized by their license to confer with insurance purchasers about the benefits, terms and conditions of insurance contracts; to offer advice concerning the substantive benefits of particular insurance contracts; to sell insurance; and to obtain insurance for purchasers. The producer may have access to more than one insurance company to place the purchaser’s coverage. The producer may have authority to obligate the insurance company on the purchaser’s behalf and as a result may be required to act within the scope of contractual agreements with the insurer. Compensation will be paid to the producer by the insurer or other third parties. Compensation may vary depending on several factors, including but not limited to, the insurer and the insurance contract the purchaser selects, the volume of business the producer places with the insurer, and the profitability of that business. In addition to the compensation received by InShare, other parties, such as excess and surplus lines brokers, wholesalers, reinsurance intermediaries, underwriting managers and similar parties (some of which may be owned in whole or in part by the InShare), may earn and retain usual and customary commissions or other compensations for providing insurance products to a Client/Insured under separate contracts with insurers or reinsurers. Such payments will not be considered as compensation to InShare and will not offset any compensation payable to InShare.
Additionally, there may be referral compensation shared within the InShare. Further, InShare may receive contingent or incentive payments or allowances from insurers or finance companies based on the size or performance of an overall book of business produced with them by the InShare. Also, expense reimbursements for travel or technology enhancements, salary offsets or de minimus gifts may be provided. InShare may also receive interest on premium being held prior to disbursement. Upon written request, InShare will provide to Client/Insured additional details and information about any and all compensation arrangements for insurance placed and/or quoted on behalf of the Client/Insured.
Named Insured Summary
Please check to ensure all Named Insureds are on your policy. If an entity is not listed (including partnerships, corporations, joint ventures, limited liability companies, individual proprietorships, etc.), they are not included as a Named Insured and may not have coverage in the event of a claim. We must be notified as soon as possible of the change in corporate structure, formation of new entities or purchase of new companies so that the insurance ramifications may be considered. Do not assume they are covered automatically.
Admitted/Surplus Lines/Guaranty Fund Data/Carrier Insolvency
The term admitted carrier refers to an insurer which has been approved or licensed by a given state insurance department to write business within that state. Such carriers are also referred to as authorized carriers. An authorized carrier is protected by the State Guaranty Fund should an insolvency (bankruptcy) of the insurer occur. The protection is subject to certain maximum per claim limits and other restrictions/limitations. To review the guaranty laws for your state of operation, go to the website, http://www.ncigf.org/.
A surplus lines carrier, also known as a non-admitted or unauthorized carrier, in a given state is not protected at all by the Guaranty Fund in that state should the carrier become insolvent. Nor has the policy wording or rates been reviewed by the Insurance Department of the State.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT AN ADMITTED OR SURPLUS LINES STATUS, AS WELL AS THE RESULTING APPLICABILITY OF ANY STATE’S GUARANTY FUND, ARE ISSUES ONLY IF/WHEN A CARRIER IS DECLARED INSOLVENT. INSHARE DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE FINANCIAL SOLVENCY OF ANY INSURANCE CARRIER.
A.M Best Rating
Every effort is made by InShare to place your insurance coverage with companies that have displayed evidence of being in good financial condition and size as determined by recognized rating agencies such as A.M. Best. The responsibility for financial strength lies with the insurance companies themselves and the state insurance commissioners. InShare is not responsible for the financial strength of the insurance companies with whom business is placed. We do attempt to access and utilize those insurance companies that are the best available to meet your needs.
