primary and noncontributory
Primary and noncontributory is term commonly used in contract insurance requirements to stipulate the order in which multiple policies triggered by the same loss are to respond.
Additional Information
For example, a contractor may be required to provide liability insurance that is primary and noncontributory. This means that the contractor's policy must pay before other applicable policies (primary) and without seeking contribution from other policies that also claim to be primary (noncontributory).
