PRINCIPAL EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS:		Policy References
	Pre-existing Medical Conditions: Restrictions in cover apply if a claim is made relating to a medical condition, illness, or injury, of the Insured Person(s), or any person who your travel depends on, which you or they knew about before you bought this insurance, or which develops before the travel to which this insurance applies begins. It is very important that you read the Pre-existing Medical Conditions Policy Wording, as you may not be covered for such medical conditions. If you have any queries regarding cover, you should contact Etravelinsure Limited.	5.
	Emergency Medical Treatment: Medical and repatriation cover is only for emergency medical treatment resulting from an injury sustained in an accident or an illness which first shows itself during a trip, which is confirmed by a Qualified Medical Practitioner as being medically necessary for the relief of pain and suffering, which cannot be reasonably postponed until your return home, and is authorised (when above the Unauthorised Cost limit) in advance by our Emergency Service.	14. and 15.
	Activities: You are only covered to participate in the activities described in the Activities section of the policy and included in the Schedule of Activities. General conditions apply for ‘safe and normal’ participation. Specific conditions and restrictions on cover apply in certain cases, and increases in the medical excess apply to activities in Medium and High Risk categories. Hazardous sports and activities that are not included in the Schedule of Activities are not covered, unless declared to and accepted by us. Parachuting, Skydiving, Paragliding and Hang-gliding are covered under Section (U), at additional premium, with no cover for participating whilst in USA.	33. and 34.
	Personal Possessions and Money & Travel Tickets: Cover is provided for loss, damage, or theft of your Personal Possessions, including Personal Money and Travel Tickets. We may, however, take off an amount for wear and tear when settling a claim, depending on the age and condition of the property. Cover is only provided up to maximum amounts for individual items, valuable items, and cash within the overall limits. Certain items such as spectacles and mobile phones are not covered.	27. and 28.
	Excesses: Certain sections of cover are subject to an excess applying to each claim. An excess means that you are responsible for the first sum per person per incident when you claim. The amount of any excess is detailed in the Schedule of Cover.	8.
	Period of Insurance: All trips must start from and end in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man or Channel Isles. The policy must cover the whole duration of the trip. The duration of your trip, or for annual insurance the annual period, is stated on your Certificate of Insurance. For annual insurance any one trip must not exceed the maximum number of days allowed (31 or 90), and cover for cancellation under Section (0) is from the start date of the annual period or the time the first trip booked, whichever occurs later and ends on expiry of the policy.	10.
	Material Facts disclosure: You must disclose all Material Facts that could influence us in accepting your insurance, and further inform us of any changes in circumstances that occur up to the time you depart.	4.
	Curtailment: Cover includes additional expenses necessary to return home, but only when expenses are authorised in advance by our Emergency Service. There is no further cover for the resumption of the trip after returning home.	18.


	IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND: If, having examined your Policy Wording, you decide the insurance does not meet your needs, you can cancel the insurance within 14 days from the date you receive the Policy Wording booklet or before you travel (whichever is the earlier), and we will refund the premium and cancel the Certificate of Insurance as if it had never been issued. If you wish to cancel your insurance you should email or write to Etravelinsure Limited.	6.
