Film Production Errors & Omissions (E&O) Insurance

Film production companies face content-related media exposures that can threaten their reputation and bottom-line – from failure to obtain consent or proper license to trade mark infringement of the title of the production to defamation. Chubb’s Film E&O Insurance has been designed to specifically remove these concerns. So whether you’re a media organisation or a film producer, you’ve got the protection you need to move forward.

Our target appetite includes:

• Advertising agencies
• Film distributors
• Film, video and TV producers’ errors and omissions (on a multi-year basis)

• Coverage goes beyond specified "named perils" to risks arising out of the core functions of production companies: gathering and disseminating information or entertainment to the public.
• Internet liability for the production is automatically covered.
• No clause requiring the insured to settle at the insurer’s request.
• No exclusion for "internal" copyright disputes brought by employees or freelance writers over "ownership rights."
• Multi-year coverage up to 7 years can be purchased to comply with distribution “rights period” requirements.
• Annual E&O coverage available for select clients.
• Worldwide coverage.
• Multi-currency options available.
• Interested parties can be named under the policy as additional insureds to meet contractual requirements.
