5.4 BAGGAGE
Top-up coverage for Baggage Protection
We will cover costs up to the amount specified in the Benefit Table according to the specific top-up
coverage the policyholder has purchased. The details of your selected top-up coverage will be clearly
outlined in the Special Conditions.
We cover your baggage for accidental loss, theft, or damage. In the event of such an incident, we will
reimburse you for the full replacement cost, up to the limits specified in the Benefit Table.
To make a claim, you must provide original receipts or proof of ownership. Any compensation received
under ‘Baggage Delay’ will be deducted from the final payment. If your baggage is lost, stolen, or damaged:
• When in the care of a carrier, transport company, authority, or hotel, report it in writing and obtain
a police report within 24 hours.
• If with an airline, obtain a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) at the airport, submit a written claim
within the airline’s deadline, and keep a copy.
Always keep your travel tickets and baggage tags for your claim.
1. Accidental bodily injury, death, illness, or disease caused to a third party (who is not your relative, your
employee, or your household member).
2. Loss of or damage to property that is not owned, controlled, or held by you, a relative, employee, or
household member - except for temporary holiday accommodation that you occupy but do not own.

To make a claim, you must provide us with written notice of any incident that may give rise to a claim as
soon as possible. It is important that you do not admit any liability or pay, offer to pay, promise to pay, or
negotiate any claim without our written consent.
We reserve the right to take over and conduct the defense of any claims for indemnity or damages against
any third party in your name, should we choose to do so. We will exercise full discretion in the negotiation,
proceedings, or settlement of any claim, and you are required to provide us with all necessary information
and assistance we may need.
In the unfortunate event of your death, your legal representative(s) will be entitled to the protections
specified in the Benefit Table, provided that they comply with the terms and conditions outlined in this
document.
1. In the event of permanent disability, we will provide compensation based on the degree of disability as
specified in the Official Belgian Scale for Determining the Degree of Disability. The degree of disability
will be assessed when the injuries have stabilised and no later than three years after the date of the
accident. Pre-existing disabilities will only be deducted if they pertain to the same body part or function
affected by the insured accident.
2. In the event of death resulting from an accident within three years of the incident, the insured amount
will be paid to the cohabiting partner or, in their absence, to the legal heirs, after deducting any
compensation already paid for permanent disability arising from the accident.
Prior to paying a claim, we reserve the right to have our medical practitioner conduct an examination or
to obtain a statement from the deceased's medical practitioner regarding the cause of death, as far as this
is necessary for the provision of the insurance coverage. You have the right to be assisted, at your own
expense, by a physician of your choice for the assessment of the consequences of the accident.

Your policy will not be automatically renewed upon the expiration date. Unless there are exceptional
circumstances, as described under EXCEPTIONAL RENEWAL OF CONTRACT FOR NON-EU NATIONALS, the
contract cannot be renewed without the insured party exiting the SCHENGEN area or the other countries
mentioned under TERRITORIAL COVERAGE.
Please also refer to the ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA for taking out the policy.
You have the right to withdraw from the policy within 14 calendar days. This withdrawal is free of charge
and does not require justification. In all cases, reimbursement will exclude transaction costs, as well as any
money transfer or currency exchange fees. We also reserve the right of withdrawal.
To exercise your right of withdrawal, it is sufficient to contact us in a timely manner. You can easily do this
via our website by sending an email. Your cooling-off period of 14 days begins from the conclusion of the
contract or the payment of the premium, whichever is later. Your withdrawal takes effect on the day the
email is sent. Our cancellation will take effect 8 days after notification.
In the event of withdrawal, we will refund the full premium paid. However, if your trip occurs during this

AXA SCHENGEN – “Basic” Insurance
cooling-off period of 14 days and the policy is already active, you waive your right of withdrawal, and
therefore no refund will be granted.
8.6 REFUND
Under this policy, there are three circumstances in which we will provide you with a refund.
• Firstly, when you lawfully exercise your right of withdrawal during the cooling-off period (see RIGHT OF
WITHDRAWAL AND COOLING-OFF PERIOD).
• Secondly, in the event that you are unable to obtain a visa approval and, consequently, will not be able
to travel to the area specified under the territoriality of this cover.
• Thirdly, in the unfortunate event of your passing prior to the commencement of the trip, which would
prevent you from benefiting from the policy as the risk can no longer materialise.
In all the mentioned cases, we will fully refund your premium following your mandatory contact with us.
However, our reimbursement will exclude transaction costs, as well as any money transfer or currency
exchange costs. You can reach out via our website by selecting the applicable option and sending us an
email. The documentation you will need to provide includes, in the second case, an official document from
the rightful authority confirming the refusal of your visa, and in the third case, your death certificate.
PENALTIES
• If the insured fails to comply with any of these obligations, it may result in a disadvantage to us. In
that case, we may deduct the loss we have incurred from the compensation we are required to pay.
• We may decline insurance coverage if the insured party or policyholder commits fraud or
intentionally attempts to deceive us by failing to fulfill any of the obligations listed above.

If, because of the insured party, that subrogation can no longer produce its effects in favor of us, we may
reclaim restitution from the insured party of the policyholder, or the indemnity paid, up to the extent of the
prejudice suffered.
Except in the case of criminal intent, we shall have no recourse against the descendants, the ancestors, the spouse
or relations directly related to the insured party, nor against any persons living in the latter’s home, his/her
guests or members of his domestic staff.
However, we may take recourse against those persons to the extent that their responsibility is effectively
guaranteed by an insurance contract
PLURALITY OF INSURANCE COVER
We will only intervene after the cover granted by other provident organisations or Social Security services
to which the insured party is entitled has been exhausted. If those organisations provide between them for
a method of covering the cost of the claim different from the one mentioned above, we shall opt for the
distribution key provided by Art. 99 of the law of 4 April 2014.
We are, after providing assistance or paying indemnities, subrogated up to the amount thereof in the rights and
lawsuits of the insurers against the third parties responsible for the damage.
