When must a certificate of insurance for builder's risk insurance be provided to Extreme Art Studio?

According to Extreme Art Studio's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must provide a certificate of insurance for builder's risk insurance to Extreme Art Studio before commencing any renovations or construction at the Extreme Art Studio Business location. This requirement ensures that the location is adequately insured during the construction or renovation phase, protecting both the franchisee and Extreme Art Studio from potential financial losses due to property damage or other liabilities.

In addition to providing the certificate of insurance for builder's risk insurance before starting renovations or construction, the franchisee must also furnish copies of all insurance certificates or other evidence of maintaining the required insurance coverage and paying premiums at least 30 days before opening the Extreme Art Studio Business. This dual requirement ensures continuous coverage from the initial construction phase through the ongoing operation of the business. The franchisee must also provide these documents routinely as requested by Extreme Art Studio.

It is important to note that Extreme Art Studio retains the right to modify the required insurance coverage amounts or mandate different or additional insurance coverage at any time. This flexibility allows Extreme Art Studio to adapt to changing circumstances, such as inflation, new risk identification, or changes in legal standards. Furthermore, Extreme Art Studio may require franchisees to obtain insurance policies from a designated vendor, giving them further control over the insurance standards maintained across all franchise locations. Failing to comply with these insurance requirements could lead to Extreme Art Studio obtaining the necessary insurance on behalf of the franchisee, with the franchisee responsible for reimbursing all premiums plus a 20% fee.
