It often means that the company is using linguistic nuances to perpetrate a fraud on the consumers. I would stay far away from such a company.

Neither Travel Guard nor Trip Assured are insurance companies as Mr. Johnson points out. The difference between Travel Guard and Trip Assured...the former sells licensed products that are underwritten. Trip Assured's trip interruption/cancellation product is self-funded and not underwritten. Mr. Johnson does a good job of twisting the facts. One last point, Chris.
