| Information and network technology companies are
facing greater risks than ever before —especially when it comes to
product and service performance. Botched orders…payroll delays…foul-ups
in the processing of records…losses of data…failures in delivery…all
potentially caused by products or projects that have gone wrong. Getting
what's wrong made right means huge expenses and business distractions to
project owners, and they are increasingly turning to the courts for
remedy.

| HDFC
General Insurance's INT errors and omissions liability insurance is
specifically developed to meet the needs of information and network
technology companies in today's litigious business climate. Errors and
Omissions Liability (E&O) insurance provides essential protection to
help protect a company’s assets when standard General Liability
insurance does not. Specifically, it can help protect a company against
claims for financial injury that allege a product failed or the company
failed to perform services, causing a loss of use of tangible or
intangible property to others. |
| Most E&O insurers offer a “one size fits all”
approach. We believe that E&O insurance should fit a company’s
business needs and budget. HDFC
General Insurance's INT Errors and Omissions offers scalable protection
for companies large and small, with flexibility that allows companies to
purchase the level of insurance that is right for them.
