What does photo booth insurance not cover?

Wear and Tear

Just like your favorite pair of shoes might wear out after much use, photo booth equipment can also deteriorate over time. This natural process is not insurable. So, if your camera or printer gradually loses its quality or stops working due to age, insurance won’t cover it.

Faulty Workmanship

Let’s say you send your booth for repair, and the technician botches the job, causing more damage. This is not a risk associated with regular booth operation, so your insurance might not cover it. The technician would instead be liable for the damages and you would need to pursue them.

Contractual Liabilities

If you enter into a contract and it has specific liabilities or requirements that you later breach, not all of these breaches might be covered under your standard photo booth insurance. It’s crucial to understand your contracts and ensure you’re adhering to their terms.
