CRIME AND FIDELITY TERRORISM ENDORSEMENTS (CR 07 SERIES):

CR 07 30–Exclusion Of Terrorism

(06 22 edition)

This exclusion excludes direct or indirect terrorism against any person, organization, or property. Nuclear Hazard now includes Biological or Chemical Hazard.  

CR 07 31–Exclusion Of Terrorism Involving Nuclear, Biological Or Chemical Terrorism

(06 22 edition)

This exclusion is identical to the CR 07 30 terrorism exclusion, except it does not include paragraph B.5., which describes how the total damage and the length of time of a terrorism incident are determined. The 06 22 edition includes editorial changes, and Nuclear Hazard now includes Biological or Chemical Hazard. 

CR 07 50–Amendment – Delete Provisions Regarding Certain Acts Of Terrorism (Applicable To Crime And Fidelity Only)

(06 22 edition)

This exclusion removes any provision of coverage under Crime and Fidelity Coverage for a certified act of terrorism. Nuclear Hazard Exclusion now includes Biological or Chemical Hazard.  

CR 07 51–Replace Terrorism Provisions (Applicable To Crime And Fidelity Only)

(06 22 edition)

This exclusion applies only to the Crime and Fidelity Coverage Part. It removes coverage provided under any endorsement in the Policy for a certified act of terrorism and instead provides specific exclusions. Nuclear Hazard Exclusion now includes Biological or Chemical Hazard.

CR 07 52–Conditional Exclusion Of Terrorism (Relating To Disposition Of Federal Terrorism Risk Insurance Act)

(06 22 edition)

This exclusion applies only to the Crime and Fidelity Coverage Part. It is identical to the CR 07 53 Conditional Exclusion of Terrorism, except it contains paragraph C.5, which describes how the total damage and the duration of a terrorism incident are determined. Nuclear Hazard Exclusion now includes Biological or Chemical Hazard.

CR 07 53–Conditional Exclusion Of Terrorism Involving Nuclear, Biological Or Chemical Terrorism (Relating To Disposition Of Federal Terrorism Risk Insurance Act)

(06 22 edition)

This exclusion applies only to the Crime and Fidelity Coverage Part. It supersedes the TRIA Program when the TRIA Program terminates for other coverage forms and coverage parts in the Policy. Nuclear Hazard Exclusion now includes Biological or Chemical Hazard.

COMMON CRIME AND FIDELITY ENDORSEMENTS (CR 20 SERIES):

CR 20 01–Policy Change (Discovery Form)

(Use with CR 00 20, CR 00 22, CR 00 24, CR 00 26, CR 00 28, CR 00 30)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

This is a miscellaneous or general coverage change endorsement used with Discovery Coverage Forms and Policies. The changes being made are entered on the endorsement schedule.  

CR 20 02–Policy Change (Loss Sustained Form)  

(Use with CR 0021, CR 00 23, CR 00 25, CR 00 27, CR 00 29, CR 00 31)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

This is a miscellaneous or general coverage change endorsement used with Loss Sustained Coverage Forms and Policies. The changes being made are entered on the endorsement schedule.  

CR 20 04–Change Extended Period to Discover Loss

(Use with CR 00 20, CR 00 22, CR 00 24, CR 00 26, CR 00 28, CR 00 30)

(06 22 edition)

The 06 22 edition of this endorsement has been extensively revised. It is now divided into two sections: the first covers all Policies and Coverage Forms, while the second pertains only to the Commercial Crime Coverage Form, Commercial Crime Policy, and Commercial Fidelity and Forgery Policy, specifically concerning ERISA. This division arises from the addition of ERISA and its inapplicability to Government Entities.

This endorsement changes the number of days in the Extended Period to Discover Loss Condition from the automatic 60 days to 60 days plus the number of days entered in this endorsement schedule. The loss must be discovered by a designated person. It does not affect the one-year discovery period for any ERISA employee benefit plan unless the insured or the ERISA plan obtains other insurance that, at a minimum, provides the same coverage. The extended period to discover loss will terminate on the date the coverage is replaced.

CR 20 05–Include Retroactive Date

(Use with all except CR 00 40 and CR 00 41)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

In the 06 22 edition, this endorsement primarily underwent editorial revisions, such as restructuring the Insuring Agreements as they relate to the revised definition of Occurrence. However, material changes include the addition of ERISA plan officials, again related to the Occurrence definition. Additionally, it introduces a new requirement that a loss must be identified by a designated person.

The endorsement itself restricts coverage to actions that occur after the retroactive date entered on the endorsement schedule. The retroactive date is set by the named insured so that when multiple named insureds are on the declarations, they have the same retroactive date or different ones.  

CR 20 08–Convert to an Aggregate Limit of Insurance

(Use with all except CR 00 40 and CR 00 41)

(06 22 edition)

This endorsement adds an aggregate limit of insurance to the Policy. The aggregate limit scheduled on the endorsement schedule is the most the insurance company pays in a year, regardless of the number of occurrences. This is a very restrictive endorsement and should be used carefully.

ERISA is now included in this endorsement, and the exclusion for a loss sustained by an employee benefit plan no longer applies.

CR 20 11–Co-Surety  

(Use with all except CR 00 40 and CR 00 41)

(06 22 edition)

In the 06 22 edition, this endorsement was significantly revised, with editorial updates and a title change. It was formerly called Co-Indemnity and now better explains how co-surety coverage applies in today's marketplace.

This endorsement is used when multiple companies provide coverage for the same insured. A Lead Company, previously called the controlling company, is designated, and each participating company is listed with its participation percentage on the schedule. The Lead Company manages premium collection and issues cancellation notices on behalf of all parties. This endorsement adds to the Conditions Applicable to All Insuring Agreements, affecting the Proof of Loss notice and the cancellation or termination of the Lead Company, First Named Insured, or Other Than Lead Company, formerly known as an Other Than Controlling Company.  

CR 20 12–Binding Arbitration

(Use with all coverage forms and policies)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

The named insured and the insurance company may disagree about the amount of loss and not be able to resolve the dispute. In such a case, this endorsement permits either party to resolve the issue by demanding binding arbitration.  

CR 20 13–Non-Binding Arbitration

(Use with all coverage forms and policies)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

The named insured and the insurance company might disagree on the amount of loss and fail to resolve the dispute. In such cases, this endorsement allows either party to seek arbitration. Unlike CR 20 12, this endorsement permits any arbitration decision to be appealed to a court.

CR 20 14–Loss Payable

(Use with all except CR 00 40 and CR 00 41)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

This is a standard loss payable clause. It requires loss payments involving certain property be made to the designated entities listed on the endorsement schedule.  

CR 20 15–Joint Loss Payable

(Use with all except CR 00 40 and CR 00 41)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

This is a standard loss payable clause requiring loss payments involving specified property to be made jointly to the named insured and the designated entities listed on the endorsement schedule, rather than to a single party. 

CR 20 16–Provide Notice of Cancellation or Termination to Another Entity

(Use with all except CR 00 40 and CR 00 41)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

This endorsement lists other entities that are to receive notice of cancellation or termination. Their names and the requested number of days' notice are entered on the endorsement schedule.

Pay close attention to the word "endeavor" in the endorsement. This indicates the insurance company will make a strong effort to send notices within the specified time frames. However, if they fail to do so, the recipients cannot legally challenge the cancellation.   

CR 20 17–Provide Required Notice of Cancellation or Termination to Another Entity

(Use with all except CR 00 40 and CR 00 41)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

This is identical to CR 20 16, except that if the insurance company fails to mail the cancellation or termination to the listed entity within the required time frame, the cancellation is not valid for that specific entity.

CR 20 18–Include Joint Venture or Partnership as Insured(s)  

(Use with CR 00 20, CR 00 21, CR 00 22, CR 00 23, CR 00 28, CR 00 29)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

This endorsement is attempting to add coverage for joint ventures or partnerships of the named insured but in a limited way. If the named insured is legally liable for a loss, the full limit of insurance is available for the claim. However, if the named insured is not legally liable, this Policy only pays proportionally.

The problem is that once the joint venture or partnership becomes a named insured, the use of the word "you" in the endorsement can create ambiguity.

CR 20 19–Obligee

(Use with CR 00 24, CR 00 25, CR 00 26, CR 00 27, CR 00 30, CR 00 31)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

This endorsement adds an obligee (one to whom another is bound by a contract or legal agreement) as a protected party against covered losses. The insurance company must notify a listed obligee of any cancellation or termination. The obligee also has the right to request cancellation. The obligee has the same obligations as a designated person, human resource employee or equal with respect to knowledge of current and prior dishonest or fraudulent acts by employees. If the obligee is aware of such dishonest acts of employees, coverage for that employee is cancelled.

The 06 22 edition also adds that the insurance company will mail or deliver cancellation or termination notices to the Obligee as well as the first-named insured.

CR 20 20–Calculation of Premium

(Use with CR 00 22, CR 00 23, CR 00 26, CR 00 27, CR 00 28, CR 00 29, CR 00 30, CR 00 31, CR 00 41)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

This endorsement is used with policies that have a term of more than one year or that are continuous until cancelled. It specifies that the Policy can be re-rated and the premiums recalculated using the rules and rates in effect at the anniversary date, continuation date, or renewal.  

CR 20 21–Exclusion of Certain Computer-Related Losses

(Use with CR 00 22, CR 00 23, CR 00 26, CR 00 27, CR 00 28, CR 00 29, CR 00 30, CR 00 31)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

This exclusion is used to exclude Year 2000 (Y2K) type events.

CR 20 24–Provide Limited Coverage for Loss Occurring Before Retroactive Date

(Use with all except CR 00 40 and CR 00 41)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

The endorsement is identical to CR 20 05 except that a loss is covered if it began prior to the retroactive date but only if it continued after the retroactive date.

CR 20 27–Provide Varying Deductibles

(Use with all except CR 00 40 and CR 00 41)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

This endorsement allows deductibles to vary by named insured and insuring agreement.

CR 20 28–Add Protective Devices or Services

(Use with CR 00 20, CR 00 21, CR 00 22, CR 00 23, CR 00 24, CR 00 25, CR 00 26, CR 00 27)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

This endorsement lists devices or services the named insured must maintain in proper working order. Failing to do so results in no coverage unless failing to properly maintain them is beyond the named insured's control.

CR 20 30–Amend Territory Condition   

(Use with CR 00 20, CR 00 21, CR 00 22, CR 00 23, CR 00 28, CR 00 29)

(06 22 edition)

This endorsement replaces the territory condition for all Insuring Agreements. The 06 22 edition expands the Policy territory to cover the entire world, so this endorsement now specifies excluded territories. Losses in listed territories or areas under U.S. embargo, trade, or other economic sanctions are not covered. Legal action must be filed in the U.S.A., its territories and possessions, Puerto Rico, or Canada unless the Insurer has agreed otherwise.

CR 20 31–Include as Joint Insured(s)

(Use with all crime coverage forms and policies)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

This endorsement treats the entities listed on the endorsement schedule as named insureds.

CR 20 32–Amend Definition of Financial Institution  

(Use with CR 00 20, CR 00 21, CR 00 22, CR 00 23, CR 00 24, CR 00 25, CR 00 26, CR 00 27)

(06 22 edition) Editorial or Format Changes Only

Conditions Applicable to All Insuring Agreements under Duties in the Event Of A Loss and Other Insurance are amended.

CR 20 34-Coinsurance

(Use with all except CR 00 40 and CR 00 41)

FIDELITY AMENDATORY ENDORSEMENTS (CR 25 SERIES)

CR 25 01–Exclude Designated Persons or Classes of Persons as Employees

(Use with all except CR 00 40 and CR 00 41)

(06 22 edition) Editorial and format changes only

This endorsement is used to revise the definition of employee by excluding specific individuals or classes of persons listed on the endorsement schedule.

CR 25 02–Include Designated Agents as Employees

(Use with all except CR 00 40 and CR 00 41)

(06 22 edition)

With the 06 22 edition, this endorsement has undergone significant changes, mostly in the format. It applies to the Employee Theft Insuring Agreement. The term 'members' has been added to align with other policy provisions. Since agents are excluded as employees in all crime coverage forms and policies, this endorsement specifically adds scheduled agents as employees—but only for employee theft losses and limited to the insurance limit specified in the endorsement schedule.

CR 25 03–Include Partners as Employees

(Use with CR 00 20, CR 00 21, CR 00 22, CR 00 23, CR 00 28, CR 00 29)

(06 22 edition) Editorial and format changes only

This endorsement adds partners as employees for theft coverage, but the coverage is limited. Any loss caused by an insured partner-employee must exceed the sum of the following:

·         Any amounts the named insured owes the partner

·         The value of the partner's interest on the day the loss is discovered

·         The deductible that applies

In other words, a partner who takes what he or she is entitled to from the partnership is not stealing. However, if the partner steals property belonging to other partners and the value of that property exceeds the deductible, the loss is paid.

CR 25 04–Include Members of a Limited Liability Company as Employees

(Use with CR 00 20, CR 00 21, CR 00 22, CR 00 23, CR 00 28, CR 00 29)

(06 22 edition) Editorial and format changes only

This endorsement adds members of a Limited Liability Company (LLC) as employees for theft coverage, but the coverage is limited. Any loss the insured member-employee causes must exceed the sum of the following:

In other words, a member who takes what they are entitled to from the LLC is not stealing. However, if a member steals property belonging to other members and the value of the property's exceeds the deductible, the loss is paid.

The endorsement does not apply to loss sustained by an employee benefit plan, but the plan has the right to recover from the member.

CR 25 06–Include Chairpersons and Members of Specified Committees as Employees

(Use with all except CR 00 40 and CR 00 41)

(06 22 edition) Editorial and format changes only

(Use with all except CR 00 40 and CR 00 41)

(Use with all except CR 00 40 and CR 00 41)

(Use with all except CR 00 40 and CR 00 41)

(06 22 edition) Editorial and format changes only

This endorsement considers all volunteers as employees and provides them with coverage on a blanket basis. Unlike CR 25 09, CR 25 10 does not include volunteers who engage in fundraising activities.

CR 25 11–Include the Spouse and Children of Building Manager, Superintendent, or Janitor as Employees

(Use with CR 00 20, CR 00 21, CR 00 22, CR 00 23, CR 00 28, CR 00 29)

(06 22 edition) Editorial and format changes only

This endorsement modifies the employee definition to include the spouse and any over-18 children of the building manager, janitor, or superintendent, provided they live with the employee. The spouse and children are considered a single unit throughout the policy or form, except that, under the Cancellation or Termination Condition, the Termination of Coverage paragraph applies separately to each. For example, a child may be excluded due to dishonest acts, while coverage for the spouse and other children remains unaffected.

ERISA Plan Official has also been added to this endorsement with the 06 22 edition.

CR 25 12–Include Treasurers or Tax Collectors as Employees

(Use with CR 00 24, CR 00 25, CR 00 26, CR 00 27, CR 00 30, CR 00 31)

(06 22 edition) Editorial and format changes only

This endorsement eliminates the exclusion for treasurers and tax collectors named on the schedule. Once listed, that individual is covered as an employee. The endorsement is specific to particular names, so if a treasurer is replaced for any reason, the new treasurer will not have coverage until their name is added to the endorsement schedule.

CR 25 13–Include Students as Employees  

(Use with CR 00 24, CR 00 25, CR 00 26, CR 00 27, CR 00 30, CR 00 31)

(06 22 edition) Editorial and format changes only

This endorsement adds officers and employees of a Federal Reserve Bank as employees, but only when they act as the named insured's agent for electronic funds transfers (EFT). These individuals are considered employees only when performing services on the named insured's behalf or when they have care or custody of the insured's covered property.

CR 25 16–Add Trading Coverage

With the 06 22 edition, this endorsement was reformatted, and a statement was added to the Computer and Funds Transfer Fraud Insuring Agreement, clarifying that it does not apply to the Commercial and Governmental Fidelity and Forgery Policies.
