Glossary

Word Definition
Liberalization Clause If policies or endorsement forms are broadened through legislation or rating authority rulings—and do not require premium increases—the "liberalization clause" automatically includes the broadened coverage in similar, existing policies.
Loss of Use Coverage If your home becomes uninhabitable because of an insured peril, Loss of Use (Coverage D) provides compensation for additional living expenses incurred in an attempt to maintain a normal standard of living. Loss of Use is automatically included as 20% of the Replacement Cost amount you carry in Coverage A. If your home were covered for $200,000, for example, Loss of Use coverage would provide up to $40,000 for additional living expenses. See Additional Living Expenses.
Loss Payable Clause To protect lenders or lien holders, this clause extends coverage to parties with an insurable interest in your property, most often the institution holding your mortgage.
