INSURANCE
Top Machines breakdown insurance
Top Machines is a Belgian-law machinery breakdown insurance policy from AG, distributed by BNP Paribas Fortis.
The policy is valid for 1 year, at the end of which it will be renewed by tacit agreement for the same period, except where it is cancelled at least three months before the renewal date. For a policy taken out or renewed by tacit agreement on or after 1 October 2024, you have until two months before the renewal date to cancel it.
Contracts with a duration of less than one year end on the contractually agreed date, and are not renewed by tacit agreement.
Get back up and running quickly
With Top Machines, you can insure all of your machinery, inside and outside your building and during transportation, against:
- Theft
- Internal risks
- Carelessness by an employee or third party
With coverage of rental costs up to €250 per day for seven days and a two-day waiting period, you can rent another machine temporarily to keep your business running. If that cover is insufficient for your needs, you can increase the daily amount and extend the period.
Extended protection
All of your machinery – whether fixed or mobile, owned or leased, new or old, inside or outside your building – are insured with Top Machines.
Covered against various risks
Even if you don't know the exact cause of the damage, you're insured. Exclusions are few and are based on common sense.
Two policies, one excess
Top Machines supplements your AG fire insurance policy. If a fire affects your business, you only pay one excess for your building, inventory, equipment and machinery.
Coverage of additional expenses
The costs you incur while waiting for your machine to be repaired or a new one to be delivered are covered, up to €25,000 per claim.
Customised options
You can extend your basic coverage for additional expenses, increasing it to up to €25,000 per claim, or increase cover for rental costs beyond the €250 per day included as standard.
Anywhere, any time
Your machinery is insured in Belgium and up to 150 km beyond the border, including during transportation and on construction sites.
What your cover includes
The main risks covered are
Damage caused by carelessness and/or inexperience of the policyholder's personnel or third parties
Damage to machines resulting from an internal cause due to the presence of defective or unsuitable material, a construction or assembly error, overheating, or an accidental lack of water or lubrication
Damage to machines caused by external factors such as water, smoke, fire, collision, intrusion of a foreign substance, theft, labour dispute or natural disaster
Certain additional expenses, up to 100% of the insured amount (maximum €25,000 per claim). This includes demolition costs necessary for the repair or replacement of damaged machines, and the cost of clearing or draining damaged machines
Rental costs for a replacement machine identical or equivalent to the damaged one, up to €250 per day, for seven days, after a two-day waiting period
Main exclusions
Damage caused by abnormal use of the machine, contrary to the instructions in the user manual
Damage caused by the premature use or restart of a damaged machine before it is fully repaired or functioning normally
Cosmetic damage that doesn’t affect the machine's operation
