GENERAL PROVISIONS

LEGAL ACTIONS. No legal action for a claim can be brought against the Insurer until sixty (60) days after we receive proof of loss. No legal action for a claim can be brought against the Insurer more than two (2) years after the time required for giving proof of loss.

MISREPRESENTATION AND FRAUD. Coverage as to an Insured shall be void if, whether before or after a loss, the Insured has concealed or misrepresented any material fact or circumstance concerning this coverage or the subject thereof, or the interest of the Insured therein, or if the Insured commits fraud or false swearing in connection with any of the foregoing.

SUBROGATION. To the extent the Insurer pays for a loss suffered by an Insured, the Insurer will take over the rights and remedies the Insured had relating to the loss. This is known as subrogation. Subrogation is limited to situations in which the settlement or judgment received from a third party specifically identifies or allocates monetary sums directly attributable for expenses for which the insurer paid benefits. The Insured must help the Insurer to preserve its rights against those responsible for the loss. This may involve signing any papers and taking any other steps the Insurer may reasonably require. If the Insurer takes over an Insured's rights, the Insured must sign an appropriate subrogation form supplied by the Insurer.

ASSIGNMENT. This coverage is not assignable but benefits may be assigned.

WHEN AN INSURED'S COVERAGE BEGINS. All coverage (except Trip Cancellation) will take effect at 12:01 a.m. local time, at the location of the Insured, on the Scheduled Departure Date provided: (a) coverage has been elected; and (b) the required premium has been paid. Trip Cancellation coverage will take effect at 12:01 a.m. local time at the location of the Insured, on the day after the required premium for such coverage is received by the Insurer or its authorized representative.

WHEN AN INSURED'S COVERAGE ENDS. An Insured's coverage will end at 11:59 local time on the date which is the earliest of the following: (a) the Scheduled Return Date as stated on the travel tickets; (b) the date the Insured returns to his/her origination point if prior to the Scheduled Return Date; (c) The date the Insured cancels their Covered Trip; (d) Any Trip that exceeds 365 days.

EXTENDED COVERAGE. All coverage under the policy will be extended, if: (a) the Insured's entire Trip is covered by the policy; and (b) the Insured's return is delayed by unforeseen events specified under Trip Cancellation and Interruption or Trip Delay. If coverage is extended for the above reasons, coverage will end on the earlier of: (a) the date the Insured reaches his/her return destination; or (b) seven (7) days after the date the Trip was scheduled to be completed.

PREMIUMS. The Insurer provides insurance in return for premium payments. Premium must be remitted on behalf of the Insureds to the Insurer or to its authorized representative.

MODE OF PREMIUM.
Insured: The required premium must be paid to the Insurer or its authorized representative prior to the Scheduled Departure Date of the Covered Trip.

ARBITRATION. Notwithstanding anything in this coverage to the contrary, any claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or its breach, will be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial rules except to the extent provided otherwise in this clause. Judgment upon the award rendered in such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All fees and expenses of the arbitration shall be borne by the parties equally. However, each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses, and preparation and presentation of proofs. The arbitrators are precluded from awarding punitive, treble, or exemplary damages, however so denominated. If more than one Insured is involved in the same dispute arising out of the same coverage and relating to the same loss or claim, all such Insureds will constitute and act as one party for the purposes of the arbitration. Nothing in this clause will be construed to impair the rights of the Insureds to assert several, rather than joint, claims or defenses.

The following provisions apply to all coverages except Baggage/Personal Effects Loss and Baggage Delay:

NOTICE OF CLAIM. Written notice of claim must be given to the Insurer or its designated representative within twenty (20) days after a covered loss first begins or as soon as reasonably possible. Notice should include the Insured's name and policy number.

PROOF OF LOSS. The Claimant must send the Insurer, or its designated representative, proof of loss within ninety (90) days after a covered loss occurs or as soon as reasonably possible.

PAYMENT OF CLAIMS. The Insurer, or its designated representative, will pay a claim after receipt of acceptable proof of loss. Benefits for loss of life are payable to Insured's beneficiary. If a beneficiary is not otherwise designated by the Insured, benefits for loss of life will be paid to the first of the following surviving preference beneficiaries: a) Your spouse; b) Your child or children jointly; c) Your parents jointly if both are living or the surviving parent if only one survives; d) Your brothers and sisters jointly; or e) Your estate.

All other claims will be paid to the Insured. In the event the Insured is a minor, incompetent, or otherwise unable to give a valid release for the claim, the Insurer may make arrangement to pay claims to the Insured's legal guardian, committee, or other qualified representative. All or a portion of all other benefits provided by this coverage may, at the option of the Insurer, be paid directly to the provider of the service(s). All benefits not paid to the provider will be paid to the Insured. Any payment made in
good faith will discharge the Insurer's liability to the extent of the claim.

The applicable benefit amount will be reduced by the amount of benefits, if any, previously paid by other Insurance Policies. In no event will the Insurer reimburse the Insured for an amount greater than the amount paid by the Insured.

With respect to Sickness and Accident Medical Expense, under New York law, certain mandated benefits may be provided as applicable under this type of plan.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION AND AUTOPSY. The Insurer, or its designated representative, at their own expense, have the right to have the Insured examined as often as reasonably necessary while a claim is pending.

The following provisions apply to Baggage/Personal Effects Loss and Baggage Delay coverages only:

If the Insured's property covered under this coverage is lost, stolen, or damaged, the Insured must: (a) notify the Insurer, or its authorized representative, as soon as possible; (b) take immediate steps to protect, save, and/or recover the covered property; (c) give immediate notice to the carrier or bailee who is or may be liable for the loss or damage; (d) notify the police or other authority in the case of robbery or theft within twenty four (24) hours.

PROOF OF LOSS. The Insured must furnish the Insurer, or its designated representative, with proof of loss. This must be a detailed sworn statement. It must be filed with the Insurer, or its designated representative within ninety (90) days from the date of loss. Failure to comply with these conditions shall invalidate any claims under this coverage.

SETTLEMENT OF LOSS. Claims for damage and/or destruction shall be paid after acceptable proof of the damage and/or destruction is presented to the Insurer and the Insurer has determined the claim is covered. Claims for lost property will be paid after the lapse of a reasonable time if the property has not been recovered. The Insured must present acceptable proof of loss and the value involved to the Insurer.

VALUATION. The Insurer will not pay more than the actual cash value of the property at the time of loss. Damage will be estimated according to actual cash value with proper deduction for depreciation. At no time will payment exceed what it would cost to repair or replace the property with material of like kind and quality.

DISAGREEMENT OVER SIZE OF LOSS. If there is a disagreement about the amount of the loss, either the Insured or the Insurer can make a written demand for an appraisal. After the demand, the Insured and the Insurer will each select their own competent appraiser. After examining the facts, each of the two appraisers will give an opinion on the amount of the loss. If they do not agree, they will select an arbitrator. Any figure agreed to by 2 of the 3 (the appraisers and the arbitrator) will be binding. The appraiser selected by the Insured is paid by the Insured. The Insurer will pay the appraiser they choose. The Insured will share equally with the Insurer the cost for the arbitrator and the appraisal process.

BENEFIT TO BAILEE. This insurance will in no way inure directly or indirectly to the benefit of any carrier or other bailee.
