are available at your destination(s).

requirements including documentation (e.g., visas, passports), immunizations or
currency exchange rates. The exchange rate provided may differ from the exact
rate that issuers use for transactions on your card. Information on exchange rates
for items billed on your statement should be obtained from the financial institution
that issued your card. MasterTrip will also help you locate any lost or stolen travel
materials, including luggage. This is not an insurance policy for lost/stolen luggage

pharmacies. We can also help you refill prescriptions with local pharmacists

you are hospitalized, we can arrange to have messages relayed home, transfer
you to another facility if medically necessary, or have a family member or close

of Columbia)

where you are. We'll send someone to the rescue. This is not only reassuring,
but it may also save you money because fees for many services (e.g., jumpstarts,
towing, gas delivery, and tire changes) are pre-negotiated. Road service fees will
be automatically billed to your Mastercard account.

facilities responding to your dispatch, even if you are not with your vehicle (or it's
gone) when the tow truck arrives. Mastercard International is not responsible or
liable for the service the towing facility provides. Towing facilities are independent

exiting any licensed common carrier, provided the entire cost of the passenger
fare(s), less redeemable certificates, vouchers or coupons, has been charged to
your Mastercard card account. If the entire cost of the passenger fare has been
charged to your Mastercard account prior to departure for the airport, terminal
or station, coverage is also provided for common carrier travel (including taxi,

Legal Disclosure
This Guide to Benefits is not, by itself, a policy or contract of insurance or other
contract. Benefits are provided to you, the accountholder; at no additional charge.
Non-insurance services may have associated costs, which will be your responsibility
(for example, legal referrals are free, but the lawyer's fee is your responsibility).
The insurance benefits are provided under a group policy issued by New
Hampshire Insurance Company, an AIG company, unless otherwise noted. This
Guide to Benefits is a summary of benefits provided to you. The attached Key
Terms and EOC is governed by the group policy.
Effective date of benefits: Effective October I, 2019, this Guide to Benefits
replaces all prior disclosures, program descriptions, advertising, and brochures
by any party. The Policyholder and the insurer reserve the right to change the
benefits and features of these programs at any time. Notice will be provided
for any changes.
Cancellation: The Policyholder can cancel these benefits at any time or choose
not to renew the insurance coverage for all cardholders. If the Policyholder does
cancel these benefits, you will be notified in advance. If the insurance company
terminates, cancels, or chooses not to renew the coverage to the Policyholder,
you will be notified as soon as is practicable. Insurance benefits will still apply
for any benefits you were eligible for prior to the date of such terminations,
cancellation, or non-renewal, subject to the terms and conditions of coverage.
Benefits to you: These benefits apply only to the cardholder whose cards
are issued by U.S. financial institutions. The United States is defined as the fifty
(50) United States, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Puerto Rico,
Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, unless otherwise noted. No person or entity
other than the cardholder shall have any legal or equitable right, remedy, or
claim for benefits, insurance proceeds and damages under or arising out of
these programs. These benefits do not apply if your cardholder privileges have
been cancelled. However, insurance benefits will still apply for any benefit
you were eligible for prior to the date that your account is suspended or
cancelled, subject to the terms and conditions of coverage herein.
Transfer of rights or benefits: No rights or benefits provided under these
insurance benefits may be assigned without the prior written consent of the
claim administrator for these benefits.

concerning this coverage.
Dispute Resolution - Arbitration: This EOC requires binding arbitration if
there is an unresolved dispute concerning this EOC (including the cost of, lack
of or actual repair or replacement arising from a loss or breakdown). Under
this Arbitration provision, You give up your right to resolve any dispute arising
from this EOC by a judge and/or a jury. You also agree not to participate as
a class representative or class member in any class action litigation, any class
arbitration or any consolidation of individual arbitrations. In arbitration, a
group of three (3) arbitrators (each of whom is an independent, neutral third
party) will give a decision after hearing the parties' positions. The decision of
a majority of the arbitrators will determine the outcome of the arbitration
and the decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding and cannot be
reviewed or changed by, or appealed to, a court of law.
To start arbitration, the disputing party must make a written demand to
the other party for arbitration. This demand must be made within one (I)
year of the earlier of the date the loss occurred or the dispute arose. The
parties will each separately select an arbitrator. The two (2) arbitrators
will select a third arbitrator called an "umpire." Each party will each pay
the expense of the arbitrator selected by that party. The expense of the
umpire will be shared equally by the parties. Unless otherwise agreed to by
Guide to Benefits
24
the parties, the arbitration will take place in the county and state in which
you live. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act
(9 U.S.C.A. § I et. seq.) and not by any state law concerning arbitration. The
rules of the American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org) will apply to
any arbitration under this EOC. The laws of the state of New York (without
giving effect to its conflict of law principles) govern all matters arising out of or
relating to this EOC and all transactions contemplated by this EOC, including,
without limitation, the validity, interpretation, construction, performance and
enforcement of this EOC.
Due Diligence: All parties are expected to exercise due diligence to
avoid or diminish any theft, loss or damage to the property insured under these
programs. Due Diligence shall mean the performance of all vigilant activity,
attentiveness, and care that would be taken by a reasonable and prudent person
in the same or similar circumstances in order to guard and protect the item.
Subrogation: If payment is made under these benefits, we are entitled to
recover such amounts from other parties or persons. Any party or cardholder
who receives payment under these benefits must transfer to us his or her
rights to recovery against any other party or person and must do everything
necessary to secure these rights and must do nothing that would jeopardize
them, or these rights will be recovered from the cardholder.
Salvage: If an item is not repairable, our administrator may request that you
and/or the cardholder send the item to our administrator for salvage at your
and/or cardholder's expense. Failure to remit the requested item for salvage to
our administrator may result in denial of the claim.
Other Insurance: Coverage is secondary to and in excess of any other
applicable insurance or indemnity available to you. Coverage is limited to only
those amounts not covered by any other insurance or indemnity. Coverage
is subject to the conditions, limitations, and exclusions described in this
document. In no event will this coverage apply as contributing insurance. This
Other Insurance clause will take precedence over a similar clause found in
other insurance or indemnity language.
In no event will these insurance benefits apply as contributing insurance.
The non-contribution insurance clause will take precedence over the non-
contribution clause found in any other insurance policies.
Severability of Provisions: If in the future any one or more of the provisions
of this Guide to Benefits is, to any extent and for any reason, held to be invalid
or unenforceable, then such provision(s) shall be deemed severable from the
remaining provisions of the Guide. In that event, all other provisions of this Guide
shall remain valid and enforceable. Benefits listed in this Guide to Benefits are
subject to the conditions, limitations, and exclusions described in each benefit
section. Receipt and/or possession of this Guide to Benefits does not guarantee
coverage or coverage availability.
