Meramec Secure Launches Expanded Website Related to Use of a CLIP (Contractual Liability Insurance Policy)

Service Contracts, Limited Warranty, and Specialty Insurance and Service Programs

The site includes example uses for Service Contracts, Limited Warranties, Specialty Programs, and Service Programs, as well as example CLIP structures, profit participation options, and an example rate builder.

A CLIP is a great way to address regulatory and compliance requirements for Service Contracts. OEMs also use CLIPs to transfer risk off their balance sheets for their limited warranty programs. In addition, CLIPs are often an effective method to support service-oriented programs, including certain travel, event, and waiver programs.
