** If the type of insurance is Legal Liability, however the amount states Public and Products or Public or one of the accepted types of insurance we would approve.

If the type of insurance is Legal Liability and the amount only states Limit of Liability or Legal Liabilty then we would require site approval for this

Note: Insurance types can be listed in the limit section of the policy.

Eg. Under the Class or description it may refer to General Liability however under the limit or interest insured section if it refers specifically to an accepted type listed above this would be deemed acceptable.
