The Product Information section is intended to help you understand your insurance contract documents. The content and scope of each party s rights and obligations in respect to the other party are exclusively governed by your insurance contract and the Terms and Conditions (T&C). Your insurance contract is governed by Swiss law, specifically the Swiss Federal Law on Insurance Contracts (VVG). 1. Contracting party Your contracting party is Baloise Insurance Ltd, hereinafter referred to as Baloise. Baloise headquarters are located at Aeschengraben 21, P.O. Box, CH-4002 Basel. You can find us online at: 2. Scope of insurance cover In the following section, we provide you with information about available insurance cover options. This summary is intended as a general guide. A full general description of the insurance cover and its restrictions can be found in the Terms and Conditions. Your insurance application contains the details of your insurance cover and personal information such as the agreed insured amount. The following benefits can be included under the cover: Compulsory third-party liability Baloise covers damage to property (e.g. vehicles) of third parties and injury to persons caused with your vehicle by you as the registered keeper/driver or by a person for whom you are responsible. We will indemnify you for justified claims asserted and in the defence of unjustified liability claims asserted against you. Part comprehensive cover We indemnify you for damage to the insured vehicle caused by fire, natural hazards, vandalism, glass breakage, marten bites, collisions with animals and theft. If necessary, we will also bear the cost of salvaging the vehicle in these cases. Collision insurance Damage from collision, scratching or marking of the vehicle is insured. This cover can only be concluded in combination with part comprehensive cover (part comprehensive + collision insurance = fully comprehensive cover). Additional benefits for optional inclusion: We make driving safer for you.

3 3 Product Information > > Personal effects carried in the vehicle Damage to personal effects carried with you in the vehicle. > > Motorcycle gear > > Accident insurance The vehicle s occupants are insured in the event of an accident as defined under the Federal Law on Accident Insurance (UVG) occurring during use of the vehicle. The insurance cover only applies to the use of the vehicle in a legally permissible manner approved by the competent authorities. 3. Geographical scope The insurance cover is valid in Europe and the Mediterranean littoral countries, excluding Kosovo, the Russian Federation, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. If the vehicle is transported by sea, then the insurance cover remains in effect provided the departure and destination points are both within this territory. 4. Commencement of insurance cover Insurance cover commences on the date specified in the insurance contract. 5. Duration of insurance cover The insurance is concluded for an indefinite term. Upon expiry of the minimum term stipulated in the insurance contract, it may be terminated in writing subject to three months notice, effective at the end of each calendar year. 6. Premium and deductibles The premium is established for each insurance year and is payable in advance. The amount of the premium depends on the insured risks and the agreed cover. For the third-party liability and collision insurance modules, the premium depends on your claims history (bonus-malus system). For details, please see the Terms and Conditions. If the insurance contract expires before the end of an insurance year, Baloise will refund the paid premium to you on a pro-rata basis. In derogation of the above, the premium for the ongoing insurance term at the date the contract is terminated is owed in full if: you terminate the insurance contract within 12 months after its conclusion because of a claim; the comprehensive insurance contract lapses because of a total loss indemnified by Baloise. In the event of a claim, you will bear part of the loss yourself (deductible) where this has been agreed upon. 7. Payment default and its consequences Insurance cover can be reinstated upon complete payment of the outstanding premiums, deductibles and all fees. Insurance cover resumes on the date of payment. You will not receive retroactive insurance cover for the period during which the contract was suspended. If the suspension of cover was reported to the Vehicle Licensing Office, then you will need a new insurance certificate. The insurance contract expires two months after the 14-day grace period stated in the reminder notice unless Baloise demands payment of the outstanding premium (debt collection and enforcement). 8. Your other obligations You must answer the questions on the application form truthfully and completely (pre-contractual duty of disclosure) and, during the term of your insurance contract, notify us of any changes to the information contained in the application form and that are relevant for the assessment of risk (increase of risk). In the event of a claim, please report it immediately to Baloise Customer Service, which is available 24 hours a day from anywhere in the world by calling this number: (fax ) or from outside Switzerland if you are unable to get a connection. Please notify the police immediately in the case of theft or if persons or wild animals are injured or killed in a traffic accident. For other traffic accidents, you must inform the person who has sustained damage and the police if you are unable to contact the injured party. In cases where it is not necessary to involve the police, we recommend completing the blue European accident report together with the other party to the accident. The form is available free of charge at During and after an occurrence of loss, you must make arrangements for the preservation of the insured item and take appropriate action to assist in minimising the loss (salvage and loss minimisation obligation). Likewise, you must refrain from altering the damaged items in a way that would make it more difficult or impossible to determine the cause and monetary amount of the loss (prohibition of alterations). You must provide any and all information about the loss and any supporting details needed to substantiate the claim for indemnity (duty to inform). If you culpably violate any of these obligations, Baloise can cancel the insurance contract. If the culpable violation of obligations influences the occurrence or scope of the loss, Baloise is entitled to reduce or even refuse benefits. 9. Culpable inducement of an insured event You will receive full benefits if the loss was caused by simple negligence. However, Baloise may reduce the benefits if the loss was caused as a result of gross negligence (reckless disregard for your safety or the safety of others) or, in the case of third-party insurance, take recourse against the party that caused the loss. If the premium, a processing fee or a deductible is not paid after a written reminder, Baloise will give you a 14-day grace period. If no action is taken by the end of the grace period, your insurance cover will be suspended (interruption of cover). If your insurance contract includes the third-party liability module, we are required to inform the Vehicle Licensing Office responsible and your licence plates will be confiscated.

A32 If the insurance contract has been in force for at least six months and no claims occur during the observation period (1 October to 30 September of the following year), then the premium for the calendar year following the annual observation period is calculated according to the next-lower premium level. A33 If a claim occurs during the observation period and the insured is at fault, then the premium for the following calendar year increases by four levels. The applicable date is the date Baloise is informed. Any increase applies only to the relevant module for the given claim. In the case of damage caused by unknown third parties and damage as a result of scratching or marking of the vehicle under KK3, the downgrade occurs regardless of fault. Damage to parked vehicles does not result in downgrading in the collision insurance if supplementary cover has been taken out for damage to parked vehicles under Z1. A34 If a claim is found to be without consequences or if Baloise s expense is reimbursed, then no downgrade is applied. A35 The bonus-malus system comprises the following levels (as percentages of the base premium): Level % Level % Level % A36 The highest level for third-party liability insurance is 24 and 15 for collision insurance.

A42 In the event of increased risk, Baloise may adjust the premium for the remaining term of the contract within 30 days of receipt of the notice or may terminate the contract with 30 days notice. The policyholder has the same right to terminate the contract if he or she does not consent to the premium increase. In either case, Baloise is entitled to a premium adjusted in accordance with its rates from the moment of the increase in risk until termination of the contract. A43 If Baloise is culpably not notified of an increased risk, any claim may be reduced or refused insofar as the occurrence or extent of damage was affected by the increased risk. A44 In the event of reduced risk, the premium will be reduced by an amount equal to the amount by which the previous premium exceeds the premium corresponding to the new risk level in accordance with the standard rates.

A54 Transition from an interchangeable licence plate to a single licence plate: Under the part comprehensive module, the insurance cover remains in place for the vehicle not being used during the period of deregistration, up to a maximum of six months.

A credit is given for the pro-rated premium upon resumption of the insurance contract. A63 If licence plates are deposited, then the unused premium less a processing charge is credited on a pro rata basis upon resumption of the insurance contract. A70 Transfer of insurance to a substitute vehicle A71 If the competent authority approves the use of a substitute vehicle, then the insurance (with the exception of the part comprehensive cover which applies to both vehicles) covers only the substitute vehicle. Insurance cover for the substitute vehicle is limited to 30 consecutive days. A80 Recourse and reduction of benefits A81 Baloise may reclaim your benefits arising from liability insurance in full or in part if it is entitled to do so as a result of legislation or the contract. With other classes of insurance, Baloise may reduce or deny your benefits if the damage is the result of gross negligence or wilful intent. A82 In the event of traffic accidents or theft, pursuant to Z3, Baloise waives its right to recourse or to reduce the benefits, provided that such supplementary cover is insured.
