Liability Insurance Requirements for Conferences at Boise State University

Liability Release and Indemnification

Conference sponsors are required to assume all risks associated with the use of Boise State University residence halls or any other areas of the University campus or property. Sponsors must waive and release Boise State University, the Idaho State Board of Education, the State of Idaho, and their officers, agents, employees, and representatives (collectively referred to as “University Parties”) from all claims related to economic loss, personal injury, disease, death, or property damage arising out of or related to the event or the use of campus facilities.

To the extent permitted by law, sponsors agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and not sue any University Party for any claims, liabilities, or expenses, including damages, personal injury, medical expenses, disability, lost wages, property damage, court costs, and attorneys’ fees. This indemnification is binding on the sponsor, its agents, and its successors.

Insurance Requirements

Sponsors must maintain the following types of insurance and provide a certificate of insurance naming Boise State University as an additional insured within 30 days of signing the agreement:

1. Commercial General Liability Insurance: Coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate.

Boise, Idaho 83725

Modifications and Waivers

The University’s Risk Manager may approve modifications or waivers to these insurance requirements in writing.

Governmental Entities

If the sponsor is a governmental entity as defined by the Idaho Tort Claims Act (ITCA), the insurance requirements listed above may not apply. However, sponsors must still provide a certificate of insurance that evidences satisfactory coverage, though the University does not need to be named as an additional insured.

State of Idaho Agencies

For state agencies, including any department of Boise State University, liability is governed by the ITCA and the State of Idaho’s Risk Management Program. These agencies are not required to meet the insurance requirements listed above. Each party is responsible for notifying Risk Management in the event of any claims related to the event.

University Liability Coverage

Boise State University, as a public institution, maintains self-insurance under the ITCA with liability coverage up to $500,000. The University’s liability is limited to the terms defined under the ITCA. The University assumes no liability for:

• Acts or omissions of the sponsor or its group.
• Theft, destruction, or loss of sponsor or group property, whether secured or unsecured.

Sponsors must ensure their own insurance coverage is sufficient to address all potential risks associated with hosting events on campus.

Laundry

Laundry facilities

Each residential facility has a dedicated laundry room within the building with high efficiency and high capacity washers and dryers free of charge. In addition, an app called “LaundryView” allows guests to know when their laundry is done; and what machines (if any) are available for laundry.
If your building has a community laundry room, you have access 24/7 with your valid Guest Housing door access key card.

If you are staying in the Lincoln Townhomes, University Square, or University Suites, there is a washer and dryer in each unit.

Detergent type

All washers and dryers are “high efficiency” machines. They conserve energy and water and reduce the amount of detergent needed. Conventional detergent creates a high volume of suds that will trip sensors on the machines and turn them off. Please only use laundry detergent intended for high-efficiency machines.

WASHER INSTRUCTIONS

1. Load the washtub. Without overfilling, loosely put dry clothes into the washtub.
2. Add high-efficiency detergent according to the instructions. High-efficiency laundry pods are easiest – one per load.
3. Choose fabric type (normal, permanent press or delicate).
4. View the price per load on the machine and then insert or swipe your credit/debit card for payment.
5. Push to begin washing.

DRYER INSTRUCTIONS

1. Clean the lint filter to improve drying.
2. Place clothes in the dryer.
3. Add dryer sheets to reduce static and add softness to fabrics.
4. Set the temperature. Use high heat for normal fabric and low heat for delicates.
5. View the price per load on the machine and then insert or swipe your credit/debit card for payment.
6. Push to begin drying.
