Direct Seller Liability Insurance

Direct Seller Liability Insurance

Essential protection for direct sellers

Direct Seller Liability Insurance is an essential protection that protects against client claims of bodily injury like slip and fall, errors or omissions in advertising and property damage that you accidentally cause while conducting business as a direct seller.

How it works

IN Platinum members are automatically enrolled in our group General Liability Insurance product. A certificate of insurance is typically provided to you via email within 3-5 business days of becoming a Platinum member or renewing your Platinum membership.

Your insurance coverage is effective from the time you enroll up until the end date of your annual membership. See policy details for more information.

 

How does General Liability Insurance protect me?

When a claim or lawsuit is brought forth, this vital coverage can pay for your legal defense and pay medical costs for an injured party. Liability lawsuits are particularly dangerous because individuals can make liability claims after an incident occurs.

 

Why do I need General Liability Insurance?

As a direct seller, you’re constantly interacting with clients. Most of the risk of conducting business lies with the seller, not the company you’re selling for. Having an event in your home, selling and advertising on social media and elsewhere online, attending an event to sell your product or simply selling products to friends, family and strangers are all examples of situations most sellers encounter through their business activities.

Most importantly, homeowners, renters and umbrella plans do not insure any of these business-related activities. This is a common misconception for those running a home-based business. The majority of these insurance products specifically exclude these acts, which would result in a denied claim and placing the costs entirely on you.
