Common questions
Does tech E&O cover losses caused by an AI model's output?
This is the line meant to respond when your technology's work causes a customer a financial loss, and a model's output is your technology's work. Whether a specific policy responds depends on its wording; some carriers have started filing AI exclusions, which is why every form gets read before anything binds.
What's the difference between tech E&O and general liability?
General liability answers injuries and damage to physical property. Tech E&O answers money a customer lost because your product or service failed. A software failure claim lands on E&O, not general liability.
Do we need E&O before we have revenue?
Most companies add it at their first customer contract. Enterprise procurement often makes it a condition of signing, so having it in place shortens deals rather than delaying them.
Is cyber coverage included in tech E&O?
Carriers frequently sell them as one combined tech E&O and cyber form, but they answer different claims: E&O covers your technology failing a customer, cyber covers your systems being breached. A combined form needs both parts read.
