Equipment breakdown
Equipment breakdown coverage handles more than just boilers and machinery. It protects other electrical and mechanical equipment like computers, copiers, printers, barcode scanners, and security and alarm systems.
Product recall
Product recall insurance covers expenses associated with recalling a product from the market. Your reputation is on the line, so you’ll want to know you have the support and coverage to get this done as quickly as possible.

In certain circumstances, Acuity’s broad coverage for losses includes the repair or replacement of your defective product, your customer’s subsequent financial loss, and your legal defense costs.
