# Does K&R Cover Blackmail?

SaaS companies may obtain IP coverage when the policy includes the hosted service, code, integrations, and customer commitments.

Code, patents, licensed content, and customer indemnities can trigger different exclusions.

Describe your service, integrations, subcontractors, customer use, and contracts. Confirm covered activities, scheduled rights, territory, defense or enforcement, and known-dispute terms.
