If you turned your house upside down, everything that falls out would be classed under “contents”.
One of the key rivr distinctions is that we provide all risks cover. Essentially, unless the policy wording explicitly says that something isn’t covered, or that it has a limit, then it’s covered. No second guessing or ambiguity for you.
