Part A Home Emergency Insurance Policy How to arrange emergency assistance Introduction Your policy has been arranged by Everest Home Cover Limited with UK General on behalf of: Ageas Insurance Limited - Registered in England No.354568 Registered office: Ageas house Tollgate Eastleigh Hampshire SO53 3YA UK General Insurance Limited trading as UK General and Ageas Insurance Limited are authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority. This can be checked on the FSA s register by visiting their website at www.fsa.gov.uk/register or by contacting them on 0845 606 1234. Major emergencies which could result in serious injury to the public or damage to property should be immediately advised to the supply company and/or the public emergency services. The policy does not provide cover for any repairs, damage or other loss resulting from gas leaks. Before requesting emergency assistance Check that the circumstances are covered by your policy. Remember this is not a maintenance policy and does not cover routine maintenance in or to your home. If your emergency is boiler related You should have your boiler make and model and service details ready when you contact the helpline. Remember you must produce evidence to our approved engineer, that the boiler has been serviced to the manufacturers specifications within the last twelve months or arrange for the excess to be paid prior to assistance being provided. In the event of an emergency occurring in your home, we will: a) Advise you on what action to take to protect yourself and your home. b) Send one of our approved engineers or arrange an appointment for an approved engineer to visit your home. c) Organise and pay the cost including VAT of providing emergency assistance excluding any excess up to the claim limit per call out subject to the terms and conditions of your policy. Please note: There are certain exclusions and conditions, which limit your cover. Please read them carefully to ensure this policy meets your requirements. We do not wish you to discover after an incident has occurred that it is not insured. To assist you in understanding the main limitations of the cover provided we have detailed these under the cover provided section of your policy. Please also refer to the general exclusions which apply to the whole policy. Telephone the helpline within 12 hours of the emergency occurring Provide details of the assistance required. All requests for emergency assistance must be made through the helpline. Do not make any arrangements yourself without prior authorisation from the helpline; if you do we will not reimburse any costs you may incur. All calls are recorded. The helpline will appoint an approved engineer to attend your home Provided that this is not precluded by adverse weather conditions, industrial disputes (official or otherwise), failure of the public transport system, including the road and railway networks and repairs thereto and any other circumstances preventing access to the home or otherwise making the provision of emergency assistance impossible. The helpline and the approved engineer will have reasonable discretion as to when and how work is undertaken which will be based on the details provided by you. The approved engineer will charge all costs covered by the insurance directly to us You will be asked to pay the cost of: (a) The excess (if applicable). (b) Call-out charges if there is no-one at the home when the engineer arrives. (c) Work in excess of the claim limit. (d) Fitting replacement parts or components of a superior specification to the original at your request. Replacement of parts or components We reserve the right to use non-genuine replacement parts supplied from third parties in addition to those parts that may be sourced from the manufacturer or their approved suppliers. We are not responsible for any loss, damage or inconvenience resulting from a delay in obtaining or receiving delivery from the relevant supplier of any spares. When replacement parts are received, we will contact you to arrange a suitable time slot for the engineer to attend; you should make sure that the engineer can get reasonable access to carry out the repair. If we cannot get a replacement part needed to carry out a repair our liability will be limited to a temporary repair to make the emergency safe. 5 Everest Home Emergency Everest Home Emergency 6
