as far as protecting venues or those to get the policy? >> yes, absolutely.i have seen several event policies and club policies pay, so someone who has an event policy, it deters them from going deeper than necessary, because the insurance company would rather pay than dragging out, so they are pretty correct, because the less money they spend, the more money they make, so i have seen them pay quite a few times. president roja: ok, and i think commissioner meko as a question again. commissioner meko: have you deny the policy? >> i have not denied a policy. i have given them a premium which is absolutely ridiculous. this will basically ensure anything. -- insure anything. being in the industry, you can recognize when a venue or a club is not being forthcoming with the information, but it is pretty much a gut, institutional thing. commissioner meko: so you have a lot of flexibility. we do not need to go further. a lot of insurance agents offer this coverage, it is not just you, right? >> if you meet up with agents, agents are the ones who are more restricted as
