Nominated

it will only cover the activities of the JV and will not apply to business activities which are conducted outside of the JV. This insurance policy will only respond to the nominated insured’s name should a claim or action be taken against you in connection with the insured business activities. All other Contractors sub-contracting under the nominated ‘insured’ Stock Contractor, are required to purchase or hold their own insurance policy to ensure adequate cover is in place.
Event Organisation/Management
Stock Contractors who are 'organising' or ‘managing’ a rodeo event in any capacity in addition to supplying stock, are required to hold their own public liability cover in ADDITION to this general NRCA Affiliate Stock Contractor liability cover.
