Insurance General Terms and Conditions
The cover provided by this policy, with the exception of assistance cover, is governed by the French
Insurance Code.
The policy consists of these General Terms and Conditions, plus the Specific Terms and Conditions, which
are given to the Insured.
This cover applies to all private Trips, for a maximum length of 3 consecutive months, sold by the Approved
Organisation or Intermediary with which the policy was taken out.
Only the type(s) of cover stated in the option that has been taken out, as indicated on the booking
invoice, will be provided.
In this particular case, policies are considered to have been taken out in France, but without prejudicing the
protection provided to the consumer by the law of the country in which he/she is usually resident.
Therefore, in the event of a dispute about the policy, French law shall apply unless legal provisions are more
favourable in the country in which the beneficiary's usual residence is situated.
By mutual agreement between the Insurer and the Approved Organisation or Intermediary, which is the
Policyholder of this insurance policy, claims processing will be carried out in French, and in English when
necessary.
These General Terms and Conditions should be read carefully. They specify the respective rights and
obligations of the Insurer and the Insured and answer any questions the Insured may have.
COMMON DEFINITIONS
Terms that are shown in italics in the policy are either defined in this section or at the start of the section
describing each type of cover.
ACCIDENT: any sudden, unforeseen event, external to the victim or the damaged item, constituting the
cause of the damage.

Mondial Assistance will organise transportation by a petcare professional (dogs or cats only,
all other animals are excluded) to return the pet to the Insured's home, up to the limit stated
in the Table of Cover.
The animal in question must have already received all the obligatory vaccinations.
Dogs, which are mentioned in the decree of 27/04/99 in the list of dog breeds that are
considered dangerous, are excluded.
IMPORTANT:
Decisions are only taken in consideration of the medical interests of the Insured and are the exclusive
responsibility of the Mondial Assistance doctors in agreement with the local medical practitioners.
Mondial Assistance Doctors contact the local medical teams and, if required, the Insured's usual
medical practitioner, in order to gather the information that will enable the most appropriate decisions
in respect of the Insured's state of health to be taken.
The Insured's repatriation is decided on and managed by medical staff who hold qualifications that
are legally recognised in the country in which they usually practice their professional activity.
The Insured's medical interests and compliance with health regulations in force are the only matters
taken into consideration when determining the transport, the selected means of transport to be used
and the choice of the place of hospitalisation.
If the Insured refuses to comply with the decisions taken by the Mondial Assistance Medical
Department, this discharges Mondial Assistance of all liability in relation to the consequences of such
an initiative and especially if the person returns by their own means or in the event of a deterioration
of their state of health and the Insured loses all rights to services and compensation from Mondial
Assistance.
Furthermore, Mondial Assistance will, under no circumstances, replace the local emergency services.

AMOUNT COVERED
Compensation is calculated from the day after the occurrence of one of the events listed in Article 1.
