Legal Disclosure
This Guide to Benefits is not, by itself, a policy or contract of
insurance or other contract.
Benefits are provided to you, the Cardholder, at no additional
charge.
The insurance benefits are provided under the Group Policy
issued by New Hampshire Insurance Company, an AIG
company. This Guide to Benefits is a summary of benefits
provided to you. The attached Key Terms and EOC are
governed by the Group Policy.
Effective date of benefits: This Guide to Benefits replaces
all prior disclosures, program descriptions, advertising, and
brochures by any party. The Policyholder and the insurer
reserve the right to change the benefits and features of
these programs at any time. Notice will be provided for any
changes.
Cancellation: The Policyholder may cancel these benefits at
any time or choose not to renew the insurance coverage for
all Cardholders. If the Policyholder cancels these benefits, you
will be notified in advance. If we terminate, cancel, or choose
not to renew the coverage to the Policyholder, you will be
notified as soon as is practicable. Insurance benefits will still
apply for any eligible coverage that attaches prior to the date
of such termination, cancellation, or non-renewal, subject to
the terms and conditions of coverage.
Benefits to you: These benefits apply only to Eligible Accounts
issued in the United States. The United States is defined as
the fifty U.S. states and the District of Columbia. No person
or entity other than you shall have any legal or equitable
right, remedy, or claim for benefits, insurance proceeds and
damages under or arising out of these programs. These
benefits do not apply if your card privileges have been
cancelled. However, insurance benefits will still apply for any
benefit you were eligible for prior to the date that your Eligible
Account is suspended or cancelled, subject to the terms and
conditions of coverage.
Transfer of rights or benefits: The Group Policy is not
assignable, but the benefits may be assigned.
Intentional Misrepresentation and Fraud: If any request for
benefits made under the Group Policy is determined to be
fraudulent, or if any fraudulent means or devices are used by
you or anyone qualifying as an insured to obtain benefits under
the Group Policy, all benefits will be forfeited. No coverage is
provided if you or anyone qualifying as an insured does the
following: (1) Conceals or misrepresents any fact upon which
we rely, if the concealment or misrepresentation is material
and is made with the intent to deceive; or (2) conceals or
misrepresents any fact that contributes to the loss.
Due Diligence: You must exercise or perform all vigilant
activity, attentiveness, and care that would be exercised or
performed by a reasonable and prudent person in the same
or similar circumstances to avoid, diminish, or reduce any
loss or damage insured under the Group Policy.
Subrogation: If payment is made under these benefits, we
are entitled to recover such amounts, to the extent of our
payments, from other parties or persons. Any party or person
who receives payment under these benefits must transfer
to us his or her rights to recovery against any other party or
person and must do everything necessary to secure these
rights and must do nothing that would jeopardize them.
Salvage: If an item is not repairable, we may request that you
send the item to us for salvage at your expense. Failure to
remit the requested item for salvage to us may result in denial
of the claim.
Severability of Provisions: If in the future any one or more of
the provisions of this Guide to Benefits is, to any extent and
for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, then such
provision(s) shall be deemed “severable” from the remaining
15
provisions of the Guide. In that event, all other provisions of this
Guide shall remain valid and enforceable.
Benefits listed in this Guide to Benefits are subject to the
conditions, limitations, and exclusions described in each
benefit section. Receipt and/or possession of this Guide to
Benefits does not guarantee coverage or coverage availability.
This Guide is intended as a summary of services, benefits,
and coverages and, in case of a conflict between the Guide
and the Group Policy, the Group Policy shall control.
Washington Residents: For Washington residents only, Evidence
of Coverage (EOC) means the section of this Guide to Benefits
that describes the terms, conditions, and exclusions of your
coverage. The EOC, Key Terms, and Legal Disclosures are in
the entire agreement between you and us. Representations or
promises made by anyone that are not contained in the EOC,
Key Terms, or Legal Disclosures are not part of your coverage.
In case of a conflict between this Guide to Benefits and the
