Europäische Reiseversicherung AG offers insurance to consumers pursuant to Article 1 KSchG [Austrian Consumer Protection Act], as well as to entrepreneurs.
3. Information regarding the contract conclusion
None of the insurance products on the website of Europäische Reiseversicherung AG represent an offer by Europäische Reiseversicherung AG.
The customer submits a binding offer to Europäische Reiseversicherung AG via the website. In doing so, personal customer details must be entered. The customer’s offer is subsequently submitted to Europäische Reiseversicherung AG by accepting the GTC and the insurance terms and conditions (by ticking the checkbox) and clicking on the “Accept” button. The customer must ensure that his/her contact details (address, e-mail address) are correct and that all e-mails from Europäische Reiseversicherung AG can be received.
5. Information on the insurance contract, electronic policy/application confirmation
When taking out insurance cover for one trip (or event, seminar, etc.), the insurance policy shall be sent to the customer by e-mail, immediately after the order has been placed.
For annual travel insurance (insurance cover for all trips during a year), the customer will receive by email a confirmation regarding receipt of the application (application confirmation), including a reference to any preliminary coverage. The insurance policy for annual travel insurances will be sent separately by post to the address of the policy holder specified when taking out insurance.
The insurance policy/order confirmation contains the description of the selected product, the policy number/application number, the date of concluding the insurance contract, insurance terms and conditions, the total costs (= premium incl. insurance premium tax), the geographical scope of application, where applicable, as well as details regarding the start of travel and booking date of the trip, the personal details of the insured party and insured persons and a link to these GTC for Online Contracts.
The insurance policies additionally include a link to the relevant product information sheet (including benefit overview, insurance terms and conditions and information on what to do in the event of having to make an insurance claim).
When taking out insurance cover for one trip (or event, seminar, etc.) the policy holder has the right to receive a printed copy of policy/confirmation of coverage on request.

7. Applicable law and legal jurisdiction
Austrian law shall apply to all legal transactions between the parties.
For consumers, this choice of law shall only apply provided that this does remove the protection granted by statutory legal provisions of the state in which the consumer has his/her usual abode.
If the customer is not a consumer, the registered office of Europäische Reiseversicherung AG shall be the sole legal jurisdiction for all disputes arising from insurance contracts concluded through the website of Europäische Reiseversicherung AG. This shall also apply if the customer has no general legal jurisdiction in Austria or the EU or if his/her place of residence or usual abode are not known at the time of legal action being filed. Otherwise, the consumer court of jurisdiction shall apply.
9. Right of withdrawal
For insurance contracts concluded via the website of Europäische Reiseversicherung AG the customer has the right to withdraw without providing reasons within 14 days via E-mail or mail to the contact addresses provided below. Relevant for compliance with the withdrawal time limit is the dispatch date of the withdrawal. The withdrawal period shall start on the date on which the contract is concluded. If the customer only receives the contractual terms and conditions after conclusion of the contract, the withdrawal period shall begin on the date on which the contractual conditions are received. If the customer does not make use of the withdrawal right, the contract shall be deemed concluded for the relevant term.
Within the withdrawal period, Europäische Reiseversicherung AG shall only be permitted to fulfil the contract with the customer’s explicit consent. If the customer withdraws from the contract, mutually provided services (e.g., monetary amounts) and benefits drawn from these (e.g., interest) shall be returned within a time limit of 30 days. Furthermore, Europäische Reiseversicherung AG can immediately demand relevant agreed payments and cost compensation, if it has provided services for the customer before the withdrawal became valid. The withdrawal right shall lapse if the contract has been completely fulfilled by both parties.
The withdrawal shall be addressed to:
