Declarations Page

The declarations page is considered part of the commercial crime coverage. The dec page that accompanies the commercial crime coverage form allows the insured to choose among the form's seven insuring agreements so that his or her insurance needs are properly met. To choose an insuring agreement, the insured has to list a limit of insurance (per occurrence) and a deductible amount (per occurrence) next to the chosen insuring agreement(s). If the insured does not want a specific coverage, he can insert “not covered” next to the specified insuring agreement. Any applicable endorsements that form part of the coverage are then noted. The declarations page is the same for both CR 00 20 and CR 00 21.
