Insurance – Non-corporate User will, at the User's expense and for the purpose of supporting the User indemnification obligations under this Agreement, obtain and maintain with reputable insurers licensed in Ontario a comprehensive general liability insurance with a limit of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage or loss and extended to cover the acts and omissions of the User directors, officers, employees, agents, associates, contractors, guests and any person for whom the User are responsible in law. Such insurance must include coverage for premises and operations, broad form contractual liability, cross liability, contingent employers’ liability, and broad form property damage liability. The minimum amount of insurance coverage required shall not be construed as a limit on the User's obligation to indemnify us. The Organization has a partnership with Duuo Insurance that gives 20% discount to the User when obtaining single-day insurances, and allows for full refund upon insurance cancellation by the User if cancellation is before the date of the event. The User will provide the Organization with written evidence of such insurance in the form of a certificate or other documentation acceptable to the Organization. If no such document is provided to the Organization, then the Organization can cancel the event and may not refund any deposit paid by the User. If the Organization does not cancel the event for lack of insurance, then the User automatically declines insurance coverage and assumes full responsibility for any claims and/or damages resulting from events included in this agreement.
