IMPORTANT NOTICE Our Insurance providers are
committed to ensuring that our customers are treated fairly, and that you are
given enough information to help you make an informed decision before you
make a commitment to buy your insurance policy. Under the General Insurance
Code for private customers, your attention is drawn to important features of
your policy including: • Conditions, Exclusions
& Warranties: conditions and exclusions will apply to individual
sections of your policy while general exclusions, conditions and warranties
will apply to the whole of your policy. • Health/Pre-existing
Medical Conditions: The policy does not cover claims arising from your
pre-existing medical conditions or those of people on whom your travel
arrangements rely (please refer to the policy wording for full details). If
in the last 12 months you have been hospitalized or received treatment
including repeat prescription for an on-going medical condition or are
awaiting the results of any medical tests or referral to a specialist you
must contact the healthcheck line on 08700 662724
who will advise you if the condition can be covered. Please note that you may
be required to pay an additional premium to obtain cover for pre-existing or
on-going medical conditions. • Hazardous Pursuits,
Dangerous Sports or Pastimes: if you are going to take part in dangerous
activities, sports or pastimes where there is a risk of injury, or can be
expected to aggravate an existing infirmity, please contact One Underwriting
Ltd to check that your policy covers you. Additional premiums or exclusions
may apply. • Property Claims: these
claims are paid based on the value of the goods at the time you lose them and
not on a “new for old” replacement cost basis. Claims for sports equipment
damaged whilst in use are not covered. “Loss or damage to property” not
belonging to you is also not covered. • Policy Limits: most
sections of your policy have limits on the amount the Insurer will pay under
that section. Some sections also include other specific limits, for example:
for any one item or for valuables in total. You are advised to check your
insurance certificate if you intend taking expensive items with you. Items such as camcorders,
jewellery etc, should be fully insured under your Household policy. • Policy Excesses: under
most sections of the policy, claims will be subject to excess. This means
that you will be responsible for paying the first part of the claim. The
amount you have to pay is the excess. • Reasonable Care: you
need to take all reasonable care to protect yourself and your property, as
you would if you were not insured. • Complaints: your
insurance certificate will have in it a Complaints Procedure which tells you
what steps you can take if you wish to make a complaint. • “Cooling Off” Period:
your insurance certificate contains a “cooling off” period of 14 days during
which you can return the policy and get a refund if you have a justifiable
reason for being dissatisfied with the cover it provides. Your policy is
governed by English Law. DATA PROTECTION ACT The information that you
supply to us will only be used by us to assess whether we will provide you
with insurance cover or assessing any future claim you may make. Information
may be passed to the insurer of your policy or the specified claims handler
or emergency assistance service for the purpose of managing your claim. The
information we store will not be passed to any other third parties, and you
have a right to access under the terms of the Data Protection Act. If you have any doubts
concerning the cover provided please contact the insurance brokers who are: One Underwritting
