Terms and conditions of the website, use and protection of personal information

Les conditions contractuelles des assurances expatriés

Purpose of the website:

The site healthforexpats presents general information on international health insurance intended for expatriates, travelers and students.

It provides internet users with an insurance comparison service presenting the main benefits and rates enabling internet users to have summarized information.

Under no circumstances can the information provided on this site be considered as personalized advice to meet a specific insurance need.

HealthForExpats is under no contractual obligation to work primarily, predominantly or exclusively with one or more insurance companies.
The offers presented are subject to change at any time and without notice.

Website usage:

When information is requested to establish insurance rates, the user agrees to provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information.

The service user acknowledges and accepts that the very nature of the insurance product may result in the insurance companies, working in partnership with HealthForExpats, not being able to provide offers for certain profiles, although every effort will be made to provide offers for as many profiles as possible.

The service user acknowledges and accepts that the information communicated on this site is intended to provide summarized, partial and standardized information on the insurance coverage offered by insurers or insurance managers. He/she acknowledges and accepts that it cannot be exhaustive, particularly with regard to exclusions or limitations of coverage, deductibles, subscription or management conditions. More generally, he/she acknowledges and accepts that it cannot have any contractual value and agrees to read the General Conditions or the Legal Information Notices provided by the insurers before any subscription. He/she acknowledges and accepts that only the policies or membership certificates nominatively issued by the insurers or insurance managers can have this contractual value.

By nature, the benefits and rates of international coverage may be denominated in different currencies. To facilitate the comparison, the user chooses a presentation currency. If it is different from the contractual currency of the policy, the amounts shown are calculated using an indicative exchange rate that is updated weekly. The contractual currency is the one indicated in the General Conditions.
