SECTION 1: COVERAGES & EXCLUSIONS
- Insuring Agreement. We will pay you for accidental physical loss of or damage to Covered Property caused by a “guest” that occurred during the “rental period” of a “contracted stay” at the “accommodation” as provided in the Policy. We will provide the insurance described in the Policy for Covered Property against the physical loss or damage to property however caused by the “guest”, unless the loss or damage is excluded in Sections 1.3 (Covered Property Exclusions) or 1.4 (General Exclusions), and in return for payment of the premium and compliance with all applicable provisions of the Policy.
- Covered Property. Subject to Section 1.3 below (Covered Property Exclusions), “Covered Property” means movable contents and personal property located at the “accommodation” that is either owned by you or in your care, custody, or control, and for which you are under a contractual obligation to insure it against physical loss or damage.

SECTION 2: INSURANCE LIMITS
- Insurance Limit. The most we will pay for loss or damage in any one occurrence is the applicable insurance limit(s) shown in the Declarations. All sums we will be required to pay under the Policy will be reduced by the applicable Deductible, if any, shown in the Declarations prior to the application of the limits of insurance.
- Limit of Liability. We will not be liable in any one loss:
- For more than the amount of your interest at the time of loss; or
- For more than the applicable limit of liability.
- Loss Settlement. Covered property losses will be settled as follows:
- For individual items of personal property, losses will be settled at the actual cost to repair or replace the damaged property at the time of loss, but not exceeding the cost to repair or replace it.
- For pairs or sets of property, we will make all reasonable efforts to restore or replace the pair or set of property; however, the parties understand that pairs or sets of property may be difficult to repair or replace. Accordingly, in the event that property in a pair or set is damaged, we may elect to either:
- repair or replace the damaged items to restore the pair or set; or
- pay the difference in the Actual Cash Value of the pair or set before and after the loss.
- To real property:
- if the damage is repaired or replaced within a reasonable amount of time, at the actual cost to repair or replace; or
- if the damage is not repaired or replaced within a reasonable amount of time, at the Actual Cash Value, but not more than the amount required to repair or replace it.
- Deductible. If the adjusted amount of loss is less than or equal to the applicable Deductible, we will not pay for that loss. If the adjusted amount of loss exceeds the Deductible, we will subtract the Deductible from the adjusted amount of loss and will pay (i) the resulting amount, or (ii) the applicable insurance limit, whichever is less. When a covered event involves loss to more than one item of Covered Property and separate insurance limits apply, the losses will not be combined in determining application of the Deductible.
SECTION 3: LOSS CONDITIONS & OBLIGATIONS
The following conditions and obligations apply in the event of a loss in addition to any other conditions or obligations contained in the Policy.
- Appraisal. If either party to the Policy disagrees on the value of the property or the amount of loss, such party may make a written demand for an appraisal of the loss. In this event, each party will select a competent and impartial appraiser. The two appraisers will select an umpire. If they cannot agree, either may request that selection be made by a judge of a court having jurisdiction. The appraisers will state separately the value of the property and amount of loss. If they fail to agree, they will submit their differences to the umpire. A decision agreed to by any two will be binding. Each party will (i) pay its chosen appraiser; and (ii) bear the other expenses of the appraisal and umpire equally. If there is an appraisal, we will still retain our right to deny the claim.
- Duties in the Event of Loss or Damage. In the event of loss or damage to Covered Property, you must:
- Notify the police if a law may have been broken.
- As soon as possible, give us notice of the loss or damage, including a description of the property involved a description of how, when, and where the loss or damage occurred, including a photo of the damaged property or area.
- Take all reasonable steps to protect the Covered Property from further damage.
- Obtain estimates for repairing damaged property prior to replacing it, and provide those estimates to us at our request.
- Keep a record of expenses incurred to protect the Covered Property, for consideration in the claim settlement. This obligation does not increase the applicable limit of insurance. We will not cover any subsequent loss or damage caused by a peril that is not a covered cause of loss.
- Take inventory of the damaged and undamaged property, including quantities, costs, values, and amount of loss claimed, and maintain accurate records of repair expenses.
- As often as may be reasonably required, permit us or our agents to inspect the property proving the loss or damage and examine your books and records.
- Provide records and supporting documentation to us at our request, and permit copies to be made, and permit us to inspect any “accommodation” at the request of us, our agents or claim examiners.
- Promptly cooperate with us in the investigation or settlement of a claim. All supporting documentation, including any photographs, invoices and expenses described above, must be submitted to us within 60 days of opening the claim.
- Loss Payment
- In the event of loss or damage covered by this Coverage Form, at our option, we will either:
- Pay the value of damaged property;
- Pay the cost of repairing or replacing the damaged property, subject to Paragraph b. below;
- Take all or any part of the property at an agreed or appraised value; or
- Repair, rebuild or replace the property with other property of like kind and quality, subject to Paragraph b. below.
- We will determine the value of lost or damaged property, or the cost of its repair or replacement, in accordance with the applicable terms of the Policy.
- The cost to repair, rebuild or replace does not include the increased cost attributable to enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the construction, use or repair of any property.
- We will give notice of our intentions within fifteen (15) business days after we receive all required supporting claims documentation. Any payment will be issued by us within five (5) business days after claim approval.
- Recovered Property. Subject to the applicable limit of insurance, we will pay recovery and repair expenses for recovered property. If either you or we recover any property after a loss settlement, the recovering party must promptly notify the other in writing. At your election, recovered property will be returned to you, provided you first reimburse us for the amount we paid for the property. We reserve the right to collect any recovered property for which we paid a loss settlement.
- In the event of loss or damage covered by this Coverage Form, at our option, we will either:
- Valuation. We will determine the value of the Covered Property in the event of loss or damage at repair or replacement cost value at the time of loss or damage. The cost of building repairs or replacement does not include the increased cost attributable to enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the construction, use, or repair of any property. Actual Cash Value, instead of repair or replacement cost valuation, will apply to loss or damage to works of art, antiques, or rare articles, including etchings, pictures, statuary, marbles, bronzes, porcelains, and ornaments.
- Abandonment. No property can be abandoned to us for any reason.

- Premium Billing. You will be invoiced for each covered “contracted stay,” and payment is due upon receipt of the invoice. If full payment of an invoice is not received within 30 days of the due date, we reserve the right to cancel your insurance coverage or deny any claims.
- Representations. By accepting the Policy, you agree that the information you provided to us, as reflected in the Declarations, are accurate and complete, that they are based on the representations you made to us, and that we have issued the Policy in reliance upon those representations.
- Nonrenewal. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, not to renew the Policy. If we choose not to renew, we will provide you, the Named Insured, with written notice of nonrenewal at your last known email address. This notice will be sent at least 30 days prior to the Policy’s expiration date.
- Subrogation. You agree that, in exchange for our payment of your claim under the Policy, you assign to us the right to pursue and collect against any insurer or third party to the extent of our claim payment to you. You agree to cooperate and participate as we may reasonably request to recover our loss, including signing any letter evidencing your assignment of any right of recovery against any other party.
- Investigation; Reservation of Rights. We or our designated representatives may investigate any facts, circumstances, or events giving rise to a claim, loss, or “occurrence,” and you agree to cooperate fully in any such investigation. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to deny coverage, rescind, or cancel the Policy immediately in the event of actual or suspected fraud, misrepresentation, or concealment of material facts. We may, at our discretion, settle any claim or “suit” as we deem appropriate, and you agree to be bound by such settlements. No insured may admit liability, make any payment, or assume any obligation without our prior written consent, except at the insured’s own expense.
- Compensation. Commission and other compensation related to the sale or administration of the Policy may be paid to, and shared among, Tint, the insurer, and other licensed insurance producers or affiliates involved in the placement, servicing, or administration of your coverage. These parties may receive compensation in the form of commissions, fees, or other remuneration as permitted by applicable law and regulatory guidelines.
