Representations & Warranties
Representations and Warranties (R&W) coverage creates competitive advantage for companies providing automated services or data-driven solutions to support loan underwriting transactions. This type of insurance offers protection against actual financial losses triggered by inaccuracies or product deficiencies in contract deliverables.
For example, with property valuation companies, R&W coverage can be used to mitigate risks related to errors in property data or valuations. If the data used to assess property values turns out to be incorrect or inconsistent, it could lead to disputes, financial liabilities, or legal claims. By having R&W insurance, these companies ensure they are protected from the financial consequences of such errors, offering security not only to themselves but also to their clients. This protection is particularly valuable in industries reliant on precise data to drive their services and decisions.
