Anyone have good experience with a particular insurance company getting their E&O + general liability policy? At eQuality Technology, we do solutions consulting with Linux and FOSS focused on the software side so we're primarily a "3rd-party software installation, customization, support" company (at least according to the categories defined by Hiscox Insurance). Looking at the quote-generating application form for Errors and Omissions insurance policy at Hiscox Insurance, I found this particular bit of interest: Does your business conduct any of the following activities? * Manufacture, design, or assist in the design of any hardware or components. (This does not apply if your business is a Value Added Reseller of third-party hardware.) * Create, support, or work on software that executes securities transactions, makes medical diagnoses, or is involved in manufacturing or process control. * Own, host, or run any website that contains any pornographic materials or user generated content. * Own, or manage a social networking or auction website. (This does not apply to third-party sites where you offer hosting services only.) * Operate as a Voice Over IP Service Provider (This does not apply to use of a third-party VOIP service provider to conduct your own business's telephone calls.) Bullet #3 jumped out at me. User generated content (like comments in a blog?) are lumped together with porn for insurance purposes? I can see how user-generated content creates more of a liability than owner-generated content, but figured in today's day and age things might be finer grained than user-generated content ~ porn.
