Common use of NATURE AND SCOPE OF COVER Clause in Contracts

NATURE AND SCOPE OF COVER. In addition to the main cover provided for in these general terms and conditions, the Company covers, within the maximum time limits set in the summary of cover table above, the reimbursement of cancellation costs invoiced by the organiser of the trip in accordance with their Terms and Conditions of Sale when this cancellation, notified BEFORE DEPARTURE, is the result of the closure of the ski area, after taking out the insurance. The partial or total closure of the ski area must be the result of a lack of snow or excess snow in the area. This cover can only be considered following a snow report published by an accredited organisation concerning the ski resort in question if it subscribes to such a service or, if not, concerning the nearest ski resort. It will be considered that there is a lack of snow in the winter sport’s resort where the trip is taking place if, in the 48 hours prior to or following the planned start date of the trip, more than 70% of the skiable area is closed following the aforementioned snow report. This cover can only be applied for ski resorts (the start of skiable pistes) at over 1,200 metres of altitude and only between the official opening and closing dates of the skiable area, including pre-opening periods.
