Ability to cancel

In accordance with Article 13.04 of the Terms and Conditions:

The policyholder, a natural person who concludes a policy at a distance, for purposes that do not relate to his/her commercial or business activity, is hereby informed that he/she benefits from a period of fourteen (14) calendar days to cancel without having to provide any reason or pay any penalty. This period starts either on the date of signing the Subscription Form, or on the date when the policyholder receives the General Terms and Conditions and the information in accordance with Article L.120-20- 11 of the French Consumer Code, if the second date is later than the first.

The policyholder is informed that execution of the Policy cannot begin before the end of this period without his/her agreement.

A Policyholder who wishes to exercise his/her right to cancel under the aforementioned conditions may use the following model, duly filled in by him/her:

I, the undersigned, (Mr/Ms, last name, first name, address), hereby cancel my subscription number XXXXX, concerning the SCHENGEN STEP insurance policy taken up on [date] through Insurté. I certify that this insurance policy has not been used with authorities for a non-refused visa application. (Date) Signature.

Exercising this right to cancel causes the policy to be terminated as of the date of receipt of the email to contact@visa-travel-insurance.com

AXA Assistance reimburses the policyholder the full amount of any sums paid within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving the email. As of the time of sending this email, the subscription and the covers end.

However, the entire premium remains owed to AXA Assistance if the policyholder exercises his/her right to cancel and an insured event of which he/she is unaware takes place during the cancellation period and brings the policy cover into play.
