Working online
We can confirm that the policy will cover the insured to work remotely or online within the territorial limits of the policy. This means that the insured will not be covered to work with clients based in the USA, Canada or any territory under their jurisdiction. If this is required please let us know as we may be able to extend the policy, generally for no additional premium. This needs to be reviewed on a case by case basis.
Please note online working is subject to the standard policy terms and conditions. Here we would like to draw your attention to the record keeping condition found on page 35: Balens Health Professionals Scheme
training and competing
Training for competitions/tournaments is fine under the policy, but the cover will not extend to the organisation of an event.
