Your membership only includes the Civil Liability Insurance undertaken by the UCPA to cover damages to others incurred during your programme, for which you might be held responsible. You can find the details of these guarantees on the UCPA insurance information sheet or on our website www.cabinet-lafont-ucpa.com.
THE UCPA STRONGLY RECCOMENDS THAT YOU SUPPLEMENT THESE GUARANTEES (see the following section “Coverage not included”).
The UCPA, through the Cabinet Lafont-Axa Assistance, proposes two possibilities for supplementing the basic insurance package: the Top Package and the Vacation Package.
If you choose not to subscribe to one of the packages offered by the Cabinet Lafont and Axa Assistance, you must verify your personal coverage, particularly in case of death or disability, and individually subscribe to a policy from your own insurer.
The Top Package is valid for one year, for one person and for all of activities practised through the UCPA beginning with the subscription date, regardless of how many programmes were undertaken, consecutive or not.
Details of the Pack Top Guarantees:
> Repatriation Assistance, Search and Rescue Expenses:
In the event of bodily injury during your programme/ vacation your personal situation may require assistance to repatriate you (medical centre, home...). The costs of this assistance will be covered by the Vacation Package subscribed to at the time of your UCPA reservation, or by your personal insurance (be sure to verify the coverage of your personal policies). If you have no supplementary coverage you will be responsible for the costs of such assistance. If you are a resident of a country other than Switzerland, Lichtenstein or the European Union we encourage you to contact your usual insurer for repatriation insurance. The repatriation in our packages only covers persons residing in Switzerland, Norway, Lichtenstein or the European Union.
> Cancelation Insurance:
This insurance covers the costs of cancelling your programme/vacation in the event of circumstances guaranteed by the insurance preventing your departure.
> Vacation interruption insurance:
This guarantee provides payment corresponding to the number of missed programme days if your stay is interrupted as a result of a medical repatriation.
> Bagage Insurance :
Reimbursement guaranteed for material losses from the loss, theft, or deterioration of your baggage.
> Bodily Injury Insurance:
Payment in case of death: 35,000 €
