Vape Shop insurance includes coverage for bodily injury and property damage for the following:
-
Slip and fall
-
Product liability insurance: formal term is Products Completed Operations
-
Marketing liability. The formal term is Personal and Advertising Injury
-
Medical Pay: This single line of coverage is usually a small amount of $5,000. It’s used settle very claims without having to establish liability which can cost tens of thousands. Note: if an amount higher than the Medical Pay coverage is required, the policy has a per Occurrence/Claim limit which is typically one million of more.
-
Fire Legal/Fire Damage: this coverage is reserved for the damage you cause to the vape shop’s lessors/landlords property. The typical amount is $100,000. However, if the amount is greater than the Fire Legal limit and the circumstances of a claim trigger tapping into the per Occurrence/Claim limit then that will occur.
Business Property Coverage?
Your vapor shop insurance policy is split up into two section; Liability and Property. Below is a breakdown of the core property coverages you need:
-
Business Personal Property: your display cases, inventory, tables, chairs, couches and essentially anything else in your vape shop which is not permanently attached to the lessors property.
-
Business Income and Extra Expense: provides replacement business income insurance while your vape shop is being repaired from a covered loss such as a fire.
-
Tenant Improvements: the improvements are any modifications you made at your vape shop such as installing lighting or flooring. As a rule, if something is permanently attached it’s considered a tenant improvement.
-
Sign Coverage: in most cases outdoor signs are not included and must be insured
Replacement Cost Coverage:
Most policies will insurer the vape shops inventory/business personal property at Replacement Cost Value (RCV). What this means is when you have a theft or a fire claim the insurer will pay you the cost to replace your inventory (wholesale cost) but not the retail price you would have earned if you sold the products at the store. This is important to understand so you can avoid over insuring the vape shop inventory.
