A loss can be tangible or intangible; can arise from bodily injury, property damage, or other causes; can be based on tort, breach of contract, or any other theory of recovery; and includes incidental, direct, and consequential damages.

The Company will use reasonable efforts to notify you before the 30th day after the Company knows or should reasonably have known of a claim for a loss that you might be compelled to pay.

The Company has control over defending a claim for a loss (including settling it), unless the Company directs you to control the defense. If the Company directs you to control the defense, you will not settle any litigation without the Company’s written consent if the settlement (1) imposes a penalty or limitation on the Company, (2) admits the Company’s fault, or (3) does not fully release the Company from liability.
