We occasionally receive inquiries from members regarding the differences between additional. insureds and additional named insureds under liability insurance policies. This document is. intended to address some of the major differences. Additional Insureds. Generally, additional insured status is required by an individual or entity when a named insured. has agreed to indemnify that party in a contract (e.g., customers or owners of property leased by. the named insured).
Effective Date. The start date of an insurance policy, or the date on which the protection of an insurance policy or bond goes into effect. Find the best companies and lowest rates. Please wait while we find the best Insurance options for you.
Finally, sometimes you see Effective Date used in a contract to refer to some date in the past. For instance, the parties to a distribution agreement signed on March 31, 2007, might want sales from January 1, 2007, to be included for purposes of determining 2007 sales. It would be simpler and clearer to say as much instead of using the term Effective Date and defining it to mean January 1, 2007.
