Can I apply for coverage over the phone?

Enrollment by telephone is not permitted. You can apply for running event insurance or walk insurance coverage online or by completing an enrollment form and submitting it to K&K via e-mail, fax or mail.
What is a general aggregate?

The general aggregate is the maximum amount available to be paid out in any policy period for all covered losses.
What are certificate requests? How do I complete this section on the enrollment form?

A certificate of insurance is a document evidencing the existence of coverage. If coverage is bound, you will receive a certificate of insurance following binding. You will need to complete the certificate request section if you have been asked to provide another certificate to a third party, such as the facility you are utilizing for your event.
Will I receive a policy after submitting the enrollment form?

No. You will receive a certificate of insurance as evidence of coverage. By applying for this insurance, you are applying for membership in the Sports, Leisure and Entertainment Risk Purchasing Group (RPG), a group formed and operating pursuant to the Liability Risk Retention Act of 1986 (15 USC 3901 et seq.). Coverage is offered exclusively through the RPG. The RPG receives a master policy from the insurance company. Submission of this enrollment form confirms your desire to receive coverage through the RPG. Each member receives their own certificate of insurance as evidence of coverage. The limits of insurance apply individually to each insured member organization - there are no shared limits of liability with any other members. For a copy of the RPG master policy, please submit your request in writing to: K&K Insurance Group, Inc., 1712 Magnavox Way, Fort Wayne, IN 46804.
