Which of these scenarios is NOT an example of indemnification? - answer✔When trying to
renew her dog's license, Ellen has to pay a penalty to the city for letting its rabies vaccination

Ellen having to pay a fine is not an example of indemnification. Indemnification means being
restored to the financial condition you were in before a loss. In three of these situations, someone
experienced a loss and was then "made whole": Joe-Bob's neighbor lost his TV, Alice lost her
house, and Hugh lost the use of his car. But in the case of Ellen's dog, the city did not experience
a loss; it simply imposed a penalty to teach Ellen a lesson about keeping up with her dog's shots.

Jason's auto policy states that the insurer may cancel coverage if a premium is more than 30 days

claim, which of the following is most likely to happen? - answer✔An implied waiver is one that
is assumed based on someone's actions. When the insurer decided to accept Jason's late premium
