Special conditions relating to claims<br />
We have the option to either pay you for the loss, or replace, reinstate or repair the items concerned.<br />
Claims are paid based on the value of the goods at the ti<strong>me</strong> that they are lost and not on a ‘new for old<br />
basis’ or replace<strong>me</strong>nt cost basis; thus a deduction is made for wear, tear and depreciation, bearing in mind<br />
the age of the items.<br />
You must take suitable precautions to secure the safety of your personal baggage, and must not leave it<br />
unsecured or unattended or beyond your reach at any ti<strong>me</strong> in a place to which the public have access. If<br />
claiming for your goods that were stolen or lost you should produce proof of purchase of the original goods<br />
by way of receipts, credit card or bank state<strong>me</strong>nts – otherwise no claim will be paid.<br />
Within 24 hours of discovery of the incident, you must report loss of personal baggage to the local Police<br />
or to the carrier, as appropriate. Damage to personal baggage in transit must be reported to the carrier<br />
before you leave the baggage hall and a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) must be obtained, or to your<br />
hotel or accommodation manage<strong>me</strong>nt, or to the Tour Operator representative. You must produce to us<br />
written docu<strong>me</strong>ntation from one of the parties listed above confirming that the loss or theft occurred during<br />
the trip – otherwise no claim will be paid.<br />
