selected the deductibles shown on your declaration page(s). Other deductibles may be available. Please
contact your insurance agent or broker for additional information.

WATER DEDUCTIBLE ENDORSEMENT
(SFI FL DF3D WDE 12 20)
If your policy includes water damage coverage, at the time of loss, the water deductible shown on your policy
Declarations page may be applied to water damage losses depending on the cause of loss. We will pay only that
portion of the loss that exceeds the Water Deductible on the Declarations page for a covered loss caused by
water. If a loss caused by another covered peril, results in water damage, only the deductible applicable to the
peril which caused the loss would apply.
For example, if a loss caused by the peril of fire occurs and water damage results from the loss only the
deductible that is applicable to the peril of fire would be applied to the loss. Likewise, if a loss caused by water
occurs and a fire results from the water loss only the water deductible would apply to the loss.

Checklist of Coverage
Policy Type: Dwelling
(Indicate: Homeowner's, Condominium Unit Owner's, Tenant's, Dwelling, or Mobile Home Owner's)
The following checklist is for informational purposes only. Florida law prohibits this checklist from changing any
of the provisions of the insurance contract which is the subject of this checklist. Any endorsement regarding changes in
types of coverage, exclusions, limitations, reductions, deductibles, coinsurance, renewal provisions, cancellation
provisions, surcharges, or credits will be sent separately.
Reviewing this checklist together with your policy can help you gain a better understanding of your policy's actual
coverages and limitations, and may even generate questions. By addressing any questions now, you will be more
prepared later in the event of a claim. Experience has shown that many questions tend to arise regarding the coverage
of attached or detached screened pool enclosures, screened porches, and other types of enclosures. Likewise, if your
policy insures a condominium unit, questions may arise regarding the coverage of certain items, such as individual
heating and air conditioning units; individual water heaters; floor, wall, and ceiling coverings; built-in cabinets and
counter tops; appliances; window treatments and hardware; and electrical fixtures. A clear understanding of your
policy's coverages and limitations will reduce confusion that may arise during claims settlement.
Please refer to the policy for details and any exceptions to the coverages listed in this checklist. All coverages are
subject to the provisions and conditions of the policy and any endorsements. If you have questions regarding your
policy, please contact your agent or company. Consumer assistance is available from the Department of Financial
Services, Division of Consumer Services' Helpline at (800) 342-2762 or www.fldfs.com.
