When Does Music Instrument Coverage Take Effect? Most musical instruments are usually exquisite. Take the piano or the viola. Each of these instruments is highly delicate and expensive. Any person who purchases any musical instrument certainly doesn’t want their instrument to be damaged or cause any loss to them. Thus, an instrument coverage insurance policy would make them feel safe to use their instruments freely. The policies usually cover the perils of theft, fire, accidents, and physical damage to the instrument. However, all the policies are subjected to some terms and conditions which exclude some specific unforeseen events in which the insurance policy does not take effect. You cannot claim insurance funds for a loss that has already taken place. Getting insurance for your musical instrument beforehand would be best to cover the incurred losses. A musical instrument insurance takes effect only when any loss complying with the policies of the coverage document occurs. It usually includes the loss due to accident, burglary, or fire but cases of mishandling are not included in the terms and conditions of the coverage policy. Newly Acquired Instrument Policy The insurance covers recently acquired instruments up to the value of
50,000. The purchase of the new musical instrument has to be accounted for. This is particularly important to get the instrument insured. Newly possessed instruments are often insured quickly and do not require hassle. Borrowed Instrument Policy Borrowed musical instruments also can be insured with ease. This often requires informing about the obtained instrument within 48 hours of possession of the same. The instrument coverage up to the highest-valued item on the policy generally has free coverage for the first 30 days. Replacement Insurance Policy If the instrument that has gone through a covered loss is being repaired, then automatic insurance content for a relief instrument is provided. This content limit is over the value of the instrument being repaired. Hence, it makes it very efficient in such times of loss. Partial Loss Damage Policy If only some part of the instrument is damaged, the policyholder can hold on to some undamaged part if they desire. In such events, the value of the undamaged part kept would be deducted, and the rest of the insured value can be claimed. Therefore, the undamaged part does not have to be purchased again. This saves the person a lot of money in the case of instruments with lots of accessories like the piano. Inflation Guard Policy The Inflation Guard protects the policyholder against rising costs that are beyond the control of anyone. Only instruments that are manufactured within two years can earn this insurance coverage. An amount more than what the instrument is insured for can be collected if the instrument is insured for an amount within two years of the price increase. Repurchase Policy In this clause, the policyholder can claim the entire amount of the musical instrument to repurchase it. This holds effect in case of fraud while selling the product or when the instrument is damaged entirely within the stipulated period of the policy mentioned in the document.
Business Interruption Policy This clause provides for the financial losses that the artist incurs due to the damage to the instrument. A professional artist dependent on any instrument for livelihood can avail of this insurance policy. It would provide coverage for an estimated value of the entire assumed business that the artist claims to have done in the given time during which the instrument got damaged or stolen. Conclusion There are various ways to get coverage for your musical instrument. It is a necessity for any musician, whether a beginner or a professional, to get their instruments insured for safety and to have less worry about their display of art. Various insurance plans are designed for these purposes. You can choose the right plan based on your requirements and needs. So don’t wait and get your instrument covered at the earliest!
