Renting our space means that your event attendees are in direct agreement to do business with you, not with ROOTS Academy. Because of this, you are legally liable for any incidences that could occur during your rental, including but not limited to bodily injury, associated medical costs, personal injury, and damage to ROOTS property.
We have been advised by our lawyer and insurance company to require proof of liability insurance by any and all renters.
The insurance required is commonly referred to as General liability insurance and is also known as commercial general liability (CGL).
The purpose of this insurance is to protect you and your business from another person or business’s claims of bodily injury, associated medical costs, personal injury, and damage to property.
The cost of this insurance will be around $250 per year. If you already have CGL, then you’re covered, as long as you are insured at least $1M per instance (often the minimum offered by insurance companies).
All renters must provide proof of a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy naming ROOTS Academy as a beneficiary. See the screenshot below for what this looks like.
