Directors and claimants should not share one form.

A director assembling an application and a claimant sending notice should never share one form. The board packet goes to applications@. The claim notice goes to claims@. do@ is only for a question that is neither the packet nor the notice. Motus will not say the board is covered, and it will not pick a retention for the homepage.

The board packet is not a claim notice

applications@ receives the application, the board list, and the ownership questions the firm already asks. That mailbox is not a tip line for someone threatening suit. A person sending notice, or counsel sending it for them, uses claims@ the same day the letter exists. The page should show that split before it says anything flattering about leadership or governance.

do@ can explain which form to start with when the sender is unsure. It should not be the only address on the page, because people in a dispute will use whatever address they see first and ignore the rest. Put claims@ in the same block, in the same size type as applications@. A quiet footer link is too easy to miss when a deadline is running.

Retention is a question, not a trophy

Buyers ask what retention they ought to carry before they have sent a single page. The site answers that the desk reads the application first and will not print a retention as a trophy number in the hero. Motus will not choose one. If the firm truly will not talk below a retention it requires, the firm writes that sentence itself and owns it.

Do not draw a retention as a cartoon lawsuit with a payment stacked above it. That picture says the board is protected, which this page must not say. Describe the papers instead: the application, the board roster, and any prior-notice list the firm asks for. Leave outcomes, defense stories, and sample payments off the screen entirely.

Claim notices skip the application pile

claims@ should ask for the date of the notice, the name of counsel if the sender already has counsel, and a callback number that is answered. It should not make a director restate the whole application while a contractual deadline runs. The application can follow later if the desk still needs it. Notice first is the line worth printing in larger type than the firm biography.

Neighboring links for cyber and for professional liability help visitors who are in a nearby line and do not know it yet. Label those links as neighboring, not included in this form. A board member worried about a data incident may need the other page, and the sentence should admit that plainly. Nothing here says the board, the officers, or the company has cover.

Growth fits a directors and officers desk that must keep applications@ away from claims@. Authority fits when the board packet is long enough to need its own explained path.

Motus is not an insurance producer. We do not quote a premium, bind coverage, or say anyone is covered.

Starter is $274, Growth is $597, and Authority is $1,197. Each price is one time. Year-1 hosting is included, then hosting is $150 a year. There is no monthly website retainer.

Questions

Why should directors and officers applications avoid the claims inbox?
The application and the board list are applications@ work, read as a submission. A notice is claims@ work, and mixing them hides a deadline inside a renewal packet. do@ only explains which door to use. Motus will not say the board is covered while that mail is sorted.
Where do officers send a directors and officers claim notice?
Counsel or the person giving notice sends it to claims@ with the date and a callback number. They should not be told to finish the application before the notice is even logged. Motus will not say the board is covered, defended, or paid. The firm's own process answers the notice.
Who picks a retention on a directors and officers website?
The desk may discuss retention after it reads the application, and the number does not go on the homepage as a badge. Motus will not choose a retention or draw a sample dispute around one. If the firm has a real minimum, the firm writes that sentence. A cartoon of a payment is not a retention.
Can Motus say directors and officers are safe from a lawsuit?
No. The page must not say the board or the officers are protected, defended, or paid. Motus publishes the three addresses and the split between applications@ and claims@. Any response to a notice is the firm's. A flattering line about governance does not change that limit.
