Liability insurance for tour operators and travel agents
Losses may be caused to other parties in the process of carrying out financial and economic activities.
Under Russian law an entity or a person which/who has caused bodily injury to a person or harm to his/her property is obliged to compensate the victim for the injury or harm caused. The amount of compensation may turn out to be quite substantial and may adversely affect the financial stability of the paying party. One of the best ways of protecting the paying party in these circumstances is civil liability insurance. Since 2008, the Federal Law "On tourism in the Russian Federation" No. 132-FZ (Part 8, Article 17.6) has made it compulsory for tour operators/ travel agents to insure their professional liability.
The tour operator, in the manner established by the legislation, at its own expense must insure the risk of liability that may arise as a result of non-fulfilment or improper fulfilment of its obligations under the agreement for the sale of a tourist product. The terms and conditions of these insurance policies are prescribed by law and do not wary from one insurance company to another. This liability insurance has become a threshold condition for the inclusion of the tour operator into the Unified State Register of Tour Operators.
The purpose of civil liability insurance of the tour operator is to ensure that the tourist is reimbursed in the event of non-fulfilment or improper fulfilment by the tour operator of his contractual and professional obligations.
The insurance limits which can be provided by Lexgarant Insurance Company range from 0,5 million RUR to 100 mln RUR. The limits which a tour operator needs to purchase depend on the type of travel products offered by the tour operator and the annual turnover of the same. (Federal law No 132-FZ, June 28, 2009.)
Liability insurance for goods manufactured or sold; liability for services rendered:
Product Liability Insurance
Consumers and other end parties who have suffered damage from the use of products (goods, works and services) increasingly choose to sue the manufacturers (producers), providers, sellers and suppliers of these products.
Product Liability Insurance can help protect the manufacturers and other parties responsible for the design of the product in the event of litigation and can help safeguard the reputation of the company.
Manufacturers, sellers and distributors of goods, providers of services, licensed for their activities (requiring a license, patent, certificate of conformity and other documents) can be the Policyholders in these types of policies.
These entities are required by law (e.g. the Federal law of the Russian Federation "On Protection of the Rights of Consumers") to provide goods and/or services which are as described in the advertisement, of satisfactory quality and fit for a particular purpose. These entities must provide compensation to consumers and end parties, for harm to their health, life and financial interests caused by goods and/or services which do not meet the criteria set out above. This liability for harm caused can be insured by Lexgarant Insurance Company.
Risks accepted for insurance
Insured's liability for harm to the life, health or property of injured persons for goods sold or manufactured; for services rendered by the insured.
An insured event is the legal liability of the Insured for causing harm to the life and health (death, injury, disability, physical suffering) of the product’s end users and/or for causing damage to users’ property due to goods and/or services provided being not as described, not of satisfactory quality and/or not fit for purpose.
Travel Insurance
Travel for business or pleasure has become the norm for most people. Lexgarant can offer insurance for those going on a foreign trip for the purposes of leisure or business and for those travelling within the Russian Federation. Having travel insurance in place means assistance can be sought quickly and whenever necessary, thus saving you time and money.
