Introduction

MS PC 01 is an endorsement that modifies the CGL forms, the commercial property form, and the causes of loss—special form; the provisions of these forms apply to the risk except as otherwise provided in MS PC 01. The endorsement enhances the coverages provided by the standard property form by offering additional coverages and coverage extensions to the commercial property form. MS PC 01 amends the exclusions section of the causes of loss form. And, as for the CGL forms, MS PC 01 adds an insuring agreement pertaining to coverage for property damage claims directly arising from the named insured's work for a client; some definitions are also added.

The plumbing and HVAC program also offers mechanical breakdown coverage through the use of an endorsement, and provides a supplemental schedule to allow the insured to choose the coverage he needs and the limit of insurance he wants for his exposures.
