The Ting plug-in sensor and app help detect hazards that lead to electrical fires within a home's wiring, devices, and utility equipment. If a hazard is identified, the Ting sensor app alerts the homeowner and guides them through the repairs needed to address the issue.
'SageSure is proud to enhance our suite of solutions with an electrical fire prevention program proven to make homes safer and more resilient,' said Paul VanderMarck, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer at SageSure. 'Fires are one of the most costly and devastating events a homeowner may face, and approximately 20% of SageSure's fire claims are the result of electrical hazards. We look forward to partnering with our producers to help our policyholders reduce electrical fire risk and protect their families.'
In addition to fire prevention, Ting also provides real-time alerts for power outages and assistance for frozen pipe prevention as part of its commitment to helping keep families safe and informed.
'We are proud to offer Ting to our clients because it gives homeowners peace of mind and allows us to deliver even greater value,' said Dick Gibbs, VP of Sales at Hartwig Moss Insurance Agency, one of SageSure's distribution partners. 'By helping our clients prevent losses before they happen, we are not only protecting their homes; we are protecting their families and futures. Ting is more than just a safety device—it is a key differentiator that sets SageSure apart in a crowded market. It's the kind of innovation that makes us proud to represent SageSure.'
'We're thrilled to partner with SageSure to bring Ting to even more homes,' shared Bob Marshall, Whisker Labs Co-Founder and CEO. 'Ting has already been deployed to over 1 million homes and saved over 20,000 policyholders from potentially devastating fires. This partnership not only helps keep families safe but also strengthens the relationship between policyholders, their insurance providers, and insurance representatives by offering a preventative, technology-driven solution.'
Eligible SageSure policyholders will receive a free Ting plug-in sensor, the Ting app, up to three years of free fire prevention service, and a $1,000 credit for labor repair costs of Ting-identified hazards. SageSure plans to expand the program to more states soon. To learn more, visit sagesure.com/ting.

Price Undertaking Agreement in China for Rémy Cointreau

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: As part of the anti-dumping procedure initiated on January 5, 2024, by the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China (MOFCOM), Rémy Cointreau (Paris:RCO) announces the conclusion of an agreement between the Chinese authorities and certain cognac producers regarding 'Price Undertaking agreement' applicable to imports of grape-based spirits in containers of less than 200 liters originating from the European Union. Under this agreement, certain cognac stakeholders affected by the procedure commit, each according to their own terms, to comply with a minimum import price in China. In return, the 'definitive' anti-dumping duties that were to be imposed on European exports will not be applied (for reference, the official 'provisional' rate was 38.1% for Rémy Cointreau's cognac division since October 11, 2024, in the form of a guarantee-backed deposit, and was reduced to 34.3% in its final version). This agreement in no way constitutes an acknowledgment of dumping practices. While the commercial terms of this agreement are less favorable than those that were in effect prior to the initiation of the investigation, they nonetheless represent a significantly more favorable outcome, or at the very least, a substantially less punitive alternative, compared to the imposition of definitive anti-dumping duties. At this stage, Rémy Cointreau is still awaiting further details regarding the practical arrangements for implementing this agreement, in order to be able to assess the impacts accurately. Thanks to this agreement, these impacts are expected to be far less restrictive than those initially anticipated at the time of the annual results publication on June 4, 2025, and will enable the strengthening of some investments in China. As a result, Rémy Cointreau will update its annual guidance when publishing first-quarter results on July 25. About Rémy Cointreau All around the world, there are clients seeking exceptional experiences; clients for whom a wide range of terroirs means a variety of flavors. Their exacting standards are proportional to our expertise – the finely-honed skills that we pass down from generation to generation. The time these clients devote to drinking our products is a tribute to all those who have worked to develop them.

The Group's portfolio includes 14 singular brands, such as the Rémy Martin and LOUIS XIII cognacs, and Cointreau liqueur.

To this end, it relies on the commitment and creativity of its 1,856 employees and on its distribution subsidiaries established in the Group's strategic markets.
