Key Differences in Tech E&O Insurance

Broker of Record Versus Chubb Paper

StartupInsurance.ai lists Tech E&O and Professional Liability as a program line, and ContractorNerd Insurance Services, LLC arranges it as agent/broker of record. Chubb underwrites DigiTech ERM itself. 7 8 3

StartupInsurance.ai’s reviewed sources do not identify which panel carrier underwrites its tech E&O placements. Chubb is the named underwriter of DigiTech ERM. 7 3

Contract Check Versus Delay and Warranty Cover

StartupInsurance.ai says most tech E&O forms leave out accuracy warranties and uptime promises in customer contracts, and that it reads those contracts against the policy before binding. Chubb’s DigiTech ERM description does not include a pre-bind contract-reading service. 7 3

Chubb says DigiTech ERM has no exclusion for delays or failure to deliver. StartupInsurance.ai’s contract check is aimed at spotting where a startup’s uptime promise sits outside the form. 3 7

StartupInsurance.ai also notes that one major carrier added a blanket AI exclusion to D&O, E&O and fiduciary forms at renewal, without saying whether that E&O is technology E&O. Chubb’s DigiTech ERM description does not address an AI exclusion. 7 3

How You Quote

Tech Errors & Omissions is one of the coverages on StartupInsurance.ai’s online quote-intake flow, described as claims from tech products or services failing. Chubb quotes DigiTech ERM through agents on Cyber Central or Marketplace. 6 1

Published Limits

Neither StartupInsurance.ai nor Chubb publishes Tech E&O limit amounts in the reviewed sources. 6 3

What to Confirm in Tech E&O Insurance Quotes

  • Ask StartupInsurance.ai which panel carrier is quoting and whether an AI exclusion applies. 7
  • Request the policy-check notes on your accuracy warranties and uptime SLAs. 7
  • Compare those contract gaps with Chubb’s DigiTech delay and failure-to-deliver statement. 3
  • Get unpublished limits from both quotes. 6 3

Offering Details

Chubb vs StartupInsurance.ai Tech E&O Insurance: documented features by provider

CriteriaChubb DigiTech ERM (Technology Errors & Omissions)StartupInsurance.ai Technology Errors & Omissions (Tech E&O) Insurance
Role in This Line

Chubb underwrites technology errors and omissions coverage through DigiTech ERM, a single policy that combines tech E&O with media and cyber exposures rather than selling tech E&O standalone. 3Company-reported. Cyber Insurance Coverage & Products page, DigiTech ERM section.

StartupInsurance.ai's coverage list places "Tech E&O and Professional Liability" as one program line, and ContractorNerd Insurance Services, LLC arranges it as agent/broker of record rather than underwriting it. 7,8Company-reported. Homepage coverage list and ContractorNerd's terms and conditions on its producer role; the page bundles tech E&O with professional liability in this one catalogue entry rather than describing them separately.

Issuing Insurer

Not described in the reviewed sources.

The homepage's carrier panel does not identify which panel carrier underwrites tech E&O placements; the reviewed pages do not disclose a specific insurer for this line. 7Not publicly disclosed. Homepage carrier panel; the panel is program-wide, not broken out by coverage line.

Who It’s For

Chubb targets DigiTech ERM at software and system developers, technology-services and consulting firms, and electronics and hardware manufacturers, naming examples such as value-added resellers, system integrators, IT consultants and hardware distributors. 3Company-reported. DigiTech ERM Target Clients list.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Coverage Features

Beyond the Cyber ERM base, Chubb says DigiTech ERM adds technology errors and omissions coverage for third-party financial injury from the insured's products or services, a broadened definition of "technology incident," and coverage for software copyright infringement and product-recall loss of use, with no exclusion for delays or failure to deliver. 3Company-reported. DigiTech ERM Product Features list; subject to the policy as issued.

StartupInsurance.ai says most tech E&O forms leave out coverage for accuracy warranties and uptime promises that a startup takes on by signing a customer contract, and that it reads customer contracts against the tech E&O policy before binding to catch that gap. 7Company-reported. Homepage "wording that still says yes" section; describes a general gap the brokerage says it looks for, not the terms of a specific StartupInsurance.ai-placed tech E&O policy.

StartupInsurance.ai says one major carrier added a blanket AI exclusion to "D&O, E&O and fiduciary" forms at renewal; the page does not specify whether "E&O" here means technology E&O, professional E&O, or both. 7Company-reported. Homepage "wording that still says yes" section; the E&O reference is ambiguous between the two E&O lines the program sells, so this claim is not conclusively tech-E&O-specific.

Limits and Retentions

The reviewed pages do not publish specific limit or retention amounts for DigiTech ERM's technology E&O coverage. 3Not found in reviewed sources. Cyber Insurance Coverage & Products page as read on 2026-09-23.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Risk Services

DigiTech ERM policyholders get the same cyber services as Cyber ERM, including a panel of pre-approved incident response providers, a 24/7 hotline and Cyber Alert app. 3Company-reported. Cyber Insurance Coverage & Products page; DigiTech ERM includes "all the features of Cyber ERM."

StartupInsurance.ai's free policy check reads a startup's customer contracts against its tech E&O wording, flagging places where the contract promises something (like an accuracy warranty) the policy doesn't cover. 7Company-reported. Homepage service description; a marketing offer describing what the review covers, not a report on any specific customer's tech E&O policy.

How to Apply

Agents and brokers can quote DigiTech ERM through Chubb's Cyber Central or Marketplace quoting platforms, and Chubb lists E&O/Cyber among the coverage solutions available to technology companies generally. 3,1Company-reported. Cyber Insurance Coverage & Products quoting section; technology-industry products list.

"Tech Errors & Omissions" is one of seven boxes on StartupInsurance.ai's online quote-intake screen, described there as coverage for "claims from your tech products or services failing." The same screen shows no separate box for general professional liability. 6Company-reported. Initial coverage-selection screen of the quote application; the absence of a distinct professional-liability box shows how the flow packages this line, not that professional liability is unavailable.
