Got a Question?
Here's some of our Frequently Asked Questions for Market Stall Holders;
I also teach candle Making/workshops. Can you cover me?
We can definitely look at covering your teaching and workshop activities. Though this fits under a different policy. For soap and candle making workshops, you can get a quote here. Or, to get confirmation, email us at mail@auzi.com
Can dried flowers and crystals be used in Candles?
Yes, dried flowers and crystals can be used in candles. However, the wick must be the only combustible item in the candle at all times. If the flowers and/or crystals become combustible then this is not an accepted risk to the Insurer. You can read more on this here.
The candle connoisseurs at Lemon Canary sum up the answer perfectly in this blog post. Have a read if you would like some guidance to ensure your beautiful candles comply
Are refills covered?
Refills of candles can be covered. However, the refills must be the products that you sold originally. Moreover, you must ensure a visual check and quality control is done on the container prior to refilling it.

Implications of Cancelling your Product Liability Insurance
Products Liability is an occurrence-based wording. This means, the insurance needs to be in place at the time the incident occurred for there to be a valid claim.
If you cancel your insurance today and an incident is notified and/or occurs tomorrow for a product or service you provided last week, you will not be covered. Read more on this here.
