insurance exclusion

Policy's uncovered territory

An insurance exclusion is a specific condition, circumstance, or type of loss that a policy does not cover.

Exclusions limit the insurer's liability and appear in the policy's fine print: Flood damage is a standard exclusion in homeowner's policies.

Common exclusions include pre-existing conditions, acts of war, and intentional damage.

Reading the exclusions tells you what your policy won't pay for.
