This insurance will not cover the insured in a facility building that they personally rent, own or lease, except in the case of remote training where the insured does not meet with or train the client on the rented, owned, or leased premises. The insured must evaluate and assess all clients face to face before offering remote training. It is recommended this face to face assessment be done in person but may be done virtually (Zoom, Skype, Face Time, etc.). Assessments may not take place at a facility or location that is rented, owned, or leased by the insured. CPI Membership does cover online training with clients in the United States, Canada, and U.S. Territories, but not internationally. Coverage is void when the insured is covered by another insurance plan, including Studio liability insurance.
