technology errors and omissions insurance (Tech E&O)

Intended to cover two basic risks: (1) financial loss of a third party arising from failure of the insured's product to perform as intended or expected, and (2) financial loss of a third party arising from an act, error, or omission committed in the course of the insured's performance of services for another. Some commentators describe the interplay between CGL and Tech E&O insurance as providing "hand-in-glove" insurance protection; while there might be some overlap in coverage, as far as product failure goes, there should not be any gaps between the coverage.
