Before completing ACORD 180

Explain the service failure the customer could face.

Preparation guidance from Hedge. Follow the instructions in the accepted form edition and the intended market's requirements.

  1. Break out technology products and services, customer types and revenue rather than describing the applicant only as a technology company.
  2. Describe testing, change management and quality controls alongside representative contract requirements.
  3. Explain prior claims or known service issues and separate technology-performance exposure from privacy and security exposure.
Illustrative preparation example

What a clearer packet looks like.

A software firm also provides implementation services. Separate product revenue from implementation revenue and describe each contractual responsibility, so the application reflects both sources of professional exposure.

Hypothetical example, not a placement result or a coverage determination.

Technology E&O vs. cyber

ACORD 180 addresses technology E&O information. ACORD 834 addresses cyber and privacy information. One account may need both discussions; neither section proves the other coverage is included.
