Definition of "Waiver of inventory clause"
Provision in property insurance that waives, under specified circumstances, the requirement for an inventory of undamaged property when a damage claim is filed. A coinsurance clause in a fire insurance policy typically requires such an inventory or appraisal at the time of a claim. The waiver avoids the expense of an inventory when the claim is small. Under one common formula, the inventory requirement is waived when the claim is for less than $10,000 and is also for less than 5% of the limit of all insurance coverage applicable to the property.
