What type of policies are written?
REI Protect program policies are underwritten and written through REI Insurance Solutions with various limits of liability on a claims-made basis.
The claims-made policy provides coverage for claims made against members arising out of the performance of professional services rendered, or that should have been rendered, by the insured during a coverage period specified in the policy. Claims asserted against an insured are only covered when they relate to an incident that takes place on or after their retroactive date and which are reported during the term when the policyholder is covered.

What limits are available?
