ASSISTANCE SERVICES OPERATING RULES

The assistance services can be delivered only if the Insured makes a telephone call at the time of the event.
On reception of the call MUTUAIDE ASSISTANCE, after having checked the caller’s rights, organises and pays the
costs stipulated in the present agreement.
Before they can receive the benefit of a service MUTUAIDE ASSISTANCE can ask the Insured to prove the capacity
they are claiming, and to produce at their expense the items and documents proving this entitlement.
The Insured must allow our doctors access to all medical information concerning the person for whom we are
acting. This information will be processed in compliance with medical secrecy.

MUTUAIDE ASSISTANCE cannot under any circumstances replace the local emergency services organisations,
and intervenes within the limits of the agreements given by the local authorities; nor can it pay costs incurred
in this manner, except for costs of transport by ambulance or by taxi to the closest location where the
appropriate care can be supplied, in the case of minor ailments or minor injuries which do not require either
repatriation or medical transport.


The actions which MUTUAIDE ASSISTANCE undertakes are performed in complete compliance with national and
international laws and regulations. They are therefore dependent on the necessary authorisations being
obtained from the competent authorities.

When MUTUAIDE ASSISTANCE has paid for the transport of an Insured the latter must return their initially
scheduled, unused return ticket to it.

effect relative to the processing of such data and the protection of privacy, notably the provisions of the
French Data Protection Act No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978 as amended and the General Data Protection
Regulation (Regulation 2016/679 of 27 April 2016) and that, furthermore:

  • Answers to the questions asked are compulsory and that, in the event of false declarations or omissions, the
    consequences for him/her may be nullity of the contract (Article L 113-8 of the Insurance Code) or the
    reduction of compensation (Article L 113-9 of the Insurance Code),
  • The processing of personal data is necessary for subscription and execution of its contract and guarantees,
    for management of the commercial and contractual relationship and for the execution of legal, regulatory or
    administrative provisions in effect.
  • The data collected and processed is kept for the duration necessary to fulfil the contract or legal obligation.
    This data is then archived in accordance with the periods provided for in the provisions relative to the statute
    of limitations.
  • The recipients of the data concerning the Insured are, within the limits of their authority, the Insurer’s
    departments in charge of establishment, management and execution of the Insurance Contract and
    guarantees, its delegates, agents, partners, subcontractors and reinsurers in the context of exercising their
    assignments for the purposes described below.
    It may also be sent, if appropriate, to professional bodies and to all persons involved in the contract, such as
    lawyers, experts, court officials and judicial officers, trustees, guardians or investigators.
    Information concerning him/her may also be sent to any persons recognized as Authorized Third Parties
    (courts, arbitrators, mediators, concerned ministries, supervisory and regulatory authorities and all public
    bodies authorized to receive it, as well as to the services in charge of control such as statutory auditors, other
    auditors and services in charge of internal control).
  • In its capacity as a financial institution, the Insurer is subject to the legal obligations arising mainly from the
    Monetary and Financial Code in terms of the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing and, as
    such, it implements a contract monitoring process that may lead to the drafting of a suspicious transaction
    report or an asset-freezing measure.
    Data and documents concerning the Insured are kept for a period of five (5) years from the close of the
    contract or termination of the relationship.
  • The Insured’s personal data may also be used in the context of processing to combat insurance fraud which
    may lead, if necessary, to inclusion on a list of persons presenting a risk of fraud.
    This inclusion may result in longer examination of the case, or even reduction or refusal of the benefit of a
    right, service, contract or service proposed.
    In this context, personal data concerning the Insured (or concerning the persons who are parties or concerned
    by the contract) may be processed by any authorised person working within the entities of the Insurer Group
    in the context of the fight against fraud. This data may also be intended for the authorised personnel of the
    organisations directly concerned by fraud (other insurance organisations or intermediaries, judicial
    authorities, mediators, arbitrators, court officials, judicial officers, third-party organisations authorised by a
    legal provision and, where applicable, victims of acts of fraud or their representatives).
    In the event of a fraud alert, the data is kept for a maximum of six (6) months to qualify the alert and then
    deleted, unless the alert proves to be relevant. In the event of a relevant alert, the data is kept for up to five
    (5) years from the close of the fraud case, or until the end of the legal proceedings and the applicable statute
    of limitations.
    For persons on a list of suspected fraudsters, their data is deleted 5 years after placement on the list.
  • In its capacity as Insurer, the Insurer is entitled to process data relative to offences, convictions and security
    measures, either at the time of subscription of the contract or during its execution or in the context of
    managing disputes.
  • Personal data may also be used by the Insurer within the framework of processing operations that it
    implements for its legitimate interest and whose purpose is research and development to improve the quality
    or relevance of its future insurance and/or assistance products and service offers.
  • Personal data concerning the Insured may be accessible to some of the Insurer’s employees or service
    providers established in countries outside the European Union. In this case, the Insurer agrees to take all the
    necessary measures to ensure the protection of the personal data transmitted.
  • The Insured has the right to access, rectify or delete the data processed, and the right to limit or object to
    the processing of his/her data, by proving his/her identity. He also has the right to request that the use of his
    data be limited when it is no longer necessary, or to retrieve the data he has provided in a structured format,
    when it is necessary for the contract or when he has consented to the use of such data.
    He has the right to set guidelines on the fate of his personal data after his death. These guidelines, whether
    general or specific, relate to the storage, deletion and disclosure of his data after his death.
    These rights may be exercised by contacting the Insurer’s Data Protection Representative:
  • by e-mail: at DRPO@MUTUAIDE.fr
    or
  • by postal mail: by writing to the following address: Délégué représentant à la protection des données
    – MUTUAIDE ASSISTANCE – 126, rue de la Piazza – CS 20010 – 93196 Noisy le Grand CEDEX.
    After having made a request to the Data Protection Officer without receiving satisfaction, he has the
    possibility of referring the matter to the CNIL (Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés).

ARTICLE 7 – SUBROGATION

MUTUAIDE ASSISTANCE is subrogated, up to the value of the compensation paid and the services supplied by it,
to the Beneficiary’s rights and actions, against all persons liable for the actions which led to its intervention.
When the services provided in performance of the agreement are wholly or partly covered by another company
or institution, MUTUAIDE ASSISTANCE is subrogated to the beneficiary’s rights and actions against this company
or institution.

ARTICLE 8 – LIMITATION PERIOD

In application of article L 114-1 of the Insurance Code, all actions stemming from the present contract are subject
to statutory limitation two years after the event having given rise to them. This period is increased to ten years
in the case of death cover, and the beneficiaries’ actions are subject to statutory limitation at the latest thirty
years after this event.

However, this period commences only:
• in the event of non-disclosure, omission, or false or inaccurate declaration concerning the risk incurred, on
the date when it came to the Insurer’s attention;
• in the case of an incident, on the date on which it came to the attention of the interested parties if they
prove that they were unaware of it previously.
When the cause of the Insured’s action against the Insurer is a third-party action, this period of limitation
commences only on the date on which this third party has brought a legal action against the Insured or has been
compensated by the latter.

This period of limitation can be suspended, pursuant to article L 114-2 of the Insurance Code, by one of the
following ordinary causes of suspension:
• acknowledgement by the debtor of the right of the party against which it was making a claim (article 2240
of the Civil Code);
• an action in law, even on an urgent basis, until extinction of the case. The same applies even when it is
brought before a court without jurisdiction, or when the act of referral to the court is cancelled due to a
procedural irregularity (articles 2241 and 2242 of the Civil Code). The suspension is void if the applicant
abandons its application, or allows the case to lapse, or if its application is definitively dismissed (article 2243
of the Civil Code);
• a protective measure taken in application of the Civil Enforcement Procedures Code or a specific
performance measure (article 2244 of the Civil Code).
It should be noted that:
The notice given to one of the joint and several debtors by an action in law or by a specific performance measure,
or recognition by the debtor of the right of the party against whom it was making a claim suspends the period of
statutory limitation against all others, even against their heirs.
Conversely, the notice given to one of the heirs of a joint and several debtors or the acknowledgement of this
heir does not suspend the period of statutory limitation with regard to the other joint heirs, even in the case of
a mortgage debt, if the obligation is divisible. Such notice or recognition suspends the period of statutory
limitation, with regard to the other joint heirs, only in respect of the share for which this heir is liable.

To suspend the period of statutory limitation completely, with regard to the other joint debtors, notice must be
given to all the heirs of the deceased debtor, or all these heirs must be recognised (article 2245 of the Civil Code).
Notice given to the principal debtor or recognition of it suspends the period of statutory limitation against the
surety (article 2246 of the Civil Code).

The period of statutory limitation can also be suspended by:
• the appointment of an expert following a claim;
• Despatch of a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt (sent by the Insurer to the Insured on the
subject of the action for payment of the contribution, and sent by the Insured to the Insurer on the subject
of payment of the claim).


ARTICLE 9 – SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES

All disputes arising between the Insurer and the Insured relating to the determination and payment of claims
shall be referred, by the first party to take such a measure, if an amicable resolution cannot be reached, to the
court with jurisdiction of the beneficiary’s domicile, pursuant to the provisions stipulated in article R 114-1 of the
Insurance Code.

ARTICLE 10 – FALSE DECLARATIONS

When they change the subject of the risk or reduce our opinion of it:
• Any non-disclosure or intentionally false declarations by you invalidates the contract. Premiums paid
remain vested with us, and we shall be entitled to require payment of the premiums due, as stipulated
in article L 113.8 of the Insurance Code.
• Any omissions or inaccurate declarations by yourself where no dishonesty is established lead to
termination of the contract 10 days after the notification which will be sent to you by registered letter
and/or application of reduced compensation under the Insurance Code, as stipulated in article L
113.9.

ARTICLE 11 – SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY

The authority responsible for regulating MUTUAIDE ASSISTANCE is the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de
Résolution (ACPR) – 4, place de Budapest – CS 92 459 – 75 436 Paris Cedex 9.
