Frequently Asked Questions
What name should be listed on the enrollment form?
Because this program provides coverage for the entertainer or performer as an individual, provide the full legal name of the performer to be covered. If performing under a stage or other name, include that name on the “Doing Business As” line.
What if my act involves an animal and it injures someone?
This program only provides coverage for claims arising out of the following smaller animals: rabbits, doves, mice, hamsters, non-venomous, non-constrictor snakes, and dogs weighing less than 15 pounds. No coverage exists for claims arising from all other animals, and no coverage is provided for the actual death or injury to any animal.
Will I receive a policy after submitting the enrollment form?
No. You will receive a certificate of insurance as evidence of coverage. By applying for this insurance, you are applying for membership in the Sports, Leisure and Entertainment Risk Purchasing Group (RPG), a group formed and operating pursuant to the Liability Risk Retention Act of 1986 (15 USC 3901 et seq.). Coverage is offered exclusively through the RPG. The RPG receives a master policy from the insurance company. Submission of this enrollment form confirms your desire to receive coverage through the RPG. Each member receives their own certificate of insurance as evidence of coverage. The limits of insurance apply individually to each insured member organization - there are no shared limits of liability with any other members. For a copy of the RPG master policy, please submit your request in writing to: K&K Insurance Group, Inc., 1712 Magnavox Way, Fort Wayne, IN 46804.
