Technology E&O in Arizona

Arizona defines “merchandise” under its Consumer Fraud Act to include intangibles and services, and defines “person” to include corporations and other business entities. The Act prohibits specified deception, false promises, misrepresentations, and material omissions in connection with sale or advertising, whether or not someone was actually misled or damaged. Those words make a technology provider’s pre-sale descriptions of a software service, its capabilities, or its implementation relevant to a state-law analysis; they do not establish that every business buyer has a private claim or that an E&O policy covers it. Ask the broker to walk through how the application and policy address sales representations, customer contracts, and alleged omissions. 1,2,3

What Is Technology Errors And Omissions (E&O)?

Technology errors and omissions coverage can help pay when a customer claims your software, hosting, installation or technology advice caused financial loss. If you provide tech products or services, check each activity; cyber incidents and unrelated professional work need separate review. Read the national Technology errors and omissions (E&O) guide.

What to Watch for in Arizona

  • The Act’s subject matter includes services and intangibles

    Arizona’s statutory definition of merchandise expressly includes intangibles and services, while “person” includes corporations and business entities. A hosted platform, license, or implementation service is therefore not outside the Act merely because it is intangible or sold to a company. Whether a particular transaction and claimant satisfy the Act’s requirements needs separate legal analysis. 1

  • Pre-sale capability and performance claims deserve a clear record

    Section 44-1522(A) addresses specified deceptive acts, false promises, misrepresentations, and intentional material omissions in connection with sale or advertisement of merchandise, whether or not someone was actually misled, deceived, or damaged. Keep product pages, demos, proposal language, assumptions, and contract specifications aligned. A dispute about an alleged sales statement may be different from a later disagreement about ordinary performance. 2,1

  • A statutory allegation does not answer the insurance question

    The Arizona Attorney General describes the Consumer Fraud Act as a basis for state investigation and enforcement involving goods or services. Statutory scope does not tell you whether a policy covers defense costs, investigation expenses, a claimed remedy, or conduct alleged outside the policy period. Ask the broker to identify the actual insuring agreement, exclusions, and reporting steps in the proposed form. 3,2

Who Regulates Insurance in Arizona

Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions

Arizona DIFI regulates insurance companies and insurance professionals, including producers and surplus-lines brokers. Its license search covers both individual or business licensees and insurance companies, and its complaint page explains how to file with the Department. 4,5,6

Surplus-lines tax and stamping office

Reported tax rate: 3% of gross premium and taxable policy fees, less returns; stamping fee rate not verified When Arizona is the insured’s home state, the tax is 3% of gross premium and taxable policy fees, less returned premium; the statute excludes stamping fees from that tax base. For a multistate risk, Arizona’s share is allocated by exposure under the statute. Arizona's surplus-lines policy notice says these policies do not receive guaranty-fund protection. Current stamping-fee amount was not independently confirmed from readable current evidence and is omitted. 7,9,11,12

The Surplus Line Association of Arizona

  • Arizona has an exempt-commercial-purchaser search exception: A surplus-lines broker generally must make diligent effort to place an Arizona risk in the admitted market. For an exempt commercial purchaser, federal law removes that search only after the broker discloses the admitted-market protection difference and the purchaser then asks in writing for nonadmitted coverage. 8,10

Providers With Documented State Licenses

These providers publish a national listing for Technology errors and omissions (E&O); the state records document licenses for the entities and roles shown below. Some records rely on company-reported information rather than independent regulator verification. A national listing does not confirm the product is available in Arizona. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote.

  • At-BayAt-Bay Insurance Services LLCInsurance producer, Surplus-lines broker · checked 2026-09-28At-Bay’s license page lists P&C producer and surplus-lines broker license numbers for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. These are company disclosures and do not establish product availability in each jurisdiction. 13
  • CoalitionCoalition Insurance Solutions, Inc.Insurance producer, Surplus-lines broker · checked 2026-09-28Coalition’s license page lists producer and surplus-lines licenses for Coalition Insurance Solutions, Inc. in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The page separately lists insurers; this record covers the brokerage entity only. 14
  • CorgiCorgi Insurance Services, Inc.Insurance producer · checked 2026-09-28Corgi’s company producer-license table lists 50 jurisdictions: 49 states and the District of Columbia, including DC license 3003091619. New Mexico does not appear in the table and is not included here; the omission does not establish that Corgi is unlicensed there. The company-reported table has no stated as-of date and does not establish product availability. 15
  • RisklyticsRisklytics, Inc.Insurance producer · checked 2026-09-28Risklytics’ licensing page lists its Massachusetts resident agency license plus state license records in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, Ohio, Texas and Washington; it identifies the NPN record date as September 10, 2026. This list is company-published and not a product availability map. 18
  • TechInsuranceSpecialty Program Group LLCInsurance producer · checked 2026-09-28TechInsurance’s current licensing page names Specialty Program Group LLC / SPG Insurance Solutions and lists state license numbers, but labels Rhode Island “Individual licenses” rather than identifying a license for the named agency. RI is omitted because this disclosure does not establish agency authority there; this is a search limitation, not an assertion that the company is unlicensed. The remaining state entries are company-reported and are not an insurance product availability map. 19
  • VouchVouch Specialty Insurance Services, LLCInsurance producer, Surplus-lines broker · checked 2026-09-28Vouch’s licenses page, effective January 16, 2025, lists producer licenses in all 50 states and DC. Its separate surplus-lines table includes Idaho number 870820, while a footnote says Georgia and Idaho do not issue agency-level surplus-lines licenses. Because those statements conflict for Idaho, this record keeps Idaho producer-only and does not treat the table number as established agency surplus-lines authority. The page is company-reported and does not establish product availability. 20

Questions to Ask Before You Buy in Arizona

  1. Do the website, demos, proposals, and statement of work make the same claims about software functions, data integrations, implementation timing, and service levels?
  2. Which policy wording would the broker apply if an Arizona customer alleges that a service capability or benefit was misstated during advertising or a sales process?
  3. What notice, consent, and defense provisions apply if the Arizona Attorney General requests records or opens an inquiry about a sales practice?

Technology Errors And Omissions (E&O) in Arizona: FAQ

Does Arizona’s Consumer Fraud Act exclude software sold to a business? 1,2

The Act defines merchandise to include intangibles and services, and defines a person to include business entities. Those definitions do not by themselves resolve whether a specific business transaction or claimant meets every requirement for a claim. 1,2

Must a customer prove it was misled or damaged for conduct to be unlawful under § 44-1522(A)? 2

The text says the listed practice is unlawful whether or not a person was actually misled, deceived, or damaged. That statement concerns the statutory prohibition; remedies and private-claim requirements are separate questions. 2
