CONCLUSION, AMENDMENT, AND TERMINATION OF THE HEALTH INSURANCE CONTRACT
Insurance Coverages covered by health insurance, applicable Sums Insured, Limits, and Insurance Premiums covered by the Health Insurance are provided in the Insurance Programs from which the Policyholder can choose and in these Terms and Conditions.
The Policyholder enters into the Insurance Contract for the purpose of insuring the insurance risks related to the Employees and, if applicable, Relatives in order to protect their health and increase the Employees' ability to work and productivity (insurance interest).
In cooperation with the Insurance Agent, the Policyholder selects the Insurance Programs suitable for his or her Employees and, if applicable, Relatives.
To include employees as Insured Persons in the Insurance Contract, the Policyholder submits an Insurance Application to the Insurance Agent.
The Policyholder's Authorized Person shall submit the specified data in encrypted form by forwarding them to the Insurance Agent's Authorized Person.
By transmitting the data to the Insurance Agent, the Policyholder confirms that they are entitled to transmit the data of the Employees (and, if applicable, Relatives) to the Insurance Agent and the Insurer and that the Employees (and, if applicable, Relatives) agree to their inclusion in the Insurance Contract as Insured Persons under the terms of the Insurance Contract.
The Insurer has the right to refuse to include the Employee (or, if applicable, their Relative) as an Insured Person in the Insurance Contract if the person has provided false information or has previously committed insurance fraud or failure to pay insurance premiums in the past or is unsuitable to be an Insured Person for other compelling reasons
In the case of adding the Insured Person to the Insurance contract, the Insurer, through the Insurance Agent, will forward to the Policyholder the Insurance Policy proving the Insurance Coverage, the number of the Insured Person's Insurance card, and other relevant information.

Removal of a Relative of the Insured Person from the list of Insured Persons during the Insurance Period is possible only by agreement with the Insurer.
The Insurance Contract is concluded for an indefinite period, and the Insurance Period is 1 (one) year.
No later than 30 (thirty) days before the end of the current Insurance Period, the Policyholder submits a new Insurance Application to the Insurance Agent, on the basis of which the Insurance Agent issues a new Insurance Policy for the following Insurance Period.

The terms of the Insurance Contract can be changed and/or supplemented (including termination) only with the written agreement of the Insurer and the Policyholder, which is formalized as an annex to the Insurance Contract.

- The Insurer authorizes the Insurance Agent to accept Insurance Premiums.
- The date of payment of the Insurance Premium is the day when the respective amount of money is received in the current account of the Insurance Agent.
- In order to pay the Insurance Premiums, the Insurance Agent submits invoices. If applicable, the Insurance Agent submits e-invoices through the e-invoice operator.
- If the Policyholder pays the Insurance Premiums on the basis of the Insurance Policy issued for the current Insurance Period, the parties shall consider this as the Policyholder's consent to the insurance contract. If the Insurance Policy differs from the insurance offer, the information and agreements specified in the Insurance Policy are considered valid and correct.
- Insurance premiums are payable for each Insured Person according to the Insurance Program selected for the said Insured Person.
- Insurance Premiums are payable for the time when the Insured Person is included in the Insurance Contract and until the end of the Insurance Period, except when the Insurance Coverage is terminated before the end of the Insurance Period in accordance with the Terms and Conditions. Upon termination of the employment or other service relationship between the Insured Person and the Employee by the Policyholder, the Policyholder's obligation to pay the Insurance Payment ends from the date of termination of the employment or other service relationship with the Employee, but not earlier than 14 (fourteen) days after the Policyholder notifies the Insurance Agent of the Employee's deduction from the list of Insured Persons. The Policyholder and the Employee may agree that the Insurance Coverage of the departed Employee is valid until the end of the Insurance Period (provided that the Policyholder has paid the Insurance Premiums) or that the Policyholder pays the following Insurance Premiums on the Employee even after termination of employment. The departed Employee can inform the Insurer of the wish to continue using the health insurance service within 1 (one) month from the date of deducting the Employee from the list of Insured Persons. In such a case, the Insurer shall separately assess whether and under what conditions the Insurer can offer similar insurance cover to the Employee.
- Insurance premiums are paid by the Policyholder on behalf of the Insured Person.
- The Policyholder pays the Insurance Premiums in quarterly payments according to the invoices presented by the Insurance Agent.
- Unless otherwise agreed with the Policyholder, the Employee/Relative shall pay the Insurance Premiums for the Relative's Insurance Coverage, as well as the Employee's Insurance Coverage, which is not paid for by the Policyholder themselves. In this respect, the Insurance Agent invoices the Relative/Employee directly, and the Insurance Premium is payable at once for the entire Insurance Period. In such a case, the Insurance Premium is deemed to be paid in accordance with the procedure provided for in subsection 1 of § 455 of the Law of Obligations Act. Before payment of the Invoice by the Relative/Employee, the Insurer will not include the Relative/Employee as an Insured Person in the Insurance Contract.
- If the Insured Person is added to the Insurance Contract or deducted from the Insurance Contract in the middle of the Insurance Period, the Insurance Premium is calculated proportionally to the number of quarters when the Insured Person is added to the Insurance Contract. Invoicing takes place once in 90 days based on the number of employees of the Insured Persons.
- If an Insured Person additionally joins during the valid insurance contract, their insurance limit and insurance premium are calculated based on the following proportionality:
- 1-90 days after signing the insurance contract, 100% of the insurance premium;
- 91-180 days after signing the insurance contract, 75% of the insurance premium;
- from 181 days after signing the insurance contract, 50% of the insurance premium.
- The term for payment of the Invoice is the term indicated on the Invoice, which is not shorter than 14 (fourteen) calendar days. If the Invoice is not paid on time, the Insurance Agent has the right to demand from the payer of the invoice interest on arrears of 0.05% (zero point zero five percent) of the amount not paid on time for each day of delay in payment.
- Insurance premiums are not subject to reduction due to the taxes applicable to them and, as a result, additionally payable.
- If the Policyholder has not paid the insurance premium or the first insurance premium within 14 days after the conclusion of the Insurance Contract, the Insurer may withdraw from the Contract until the payment is made. It is assumed that the Insurer has withdrawn from the Contract if they do not file a lawsuit to collect the insurance premium within three months of the payment becoming due. If the Insurance Premium has become due or the first Insurance Payment has not been paid by the time the insured event occurs, the Insurer is released from its obligation to perform.
- If the second or subsequent installment of the Insurance Premium is not paid on time, the Insurer will grant an additional term for payment (among other things, the Insurance Agent is authorized to grant an additional term). If the installment is not paid for the additional term and the Insured Event occurs after the term for payment of the additional installment, the Insurer shall be released from the obligation to perform. The Insurer also has the right to cancel the Insurance Contract in such a case.
THE SUM INSURED, LIMITS, AND DEDUCTIBLES
- The Sum Insured is the maximum amount to which the Insurer compensates the loss.
- The Sum insured for each Insured Person is indicated in the Insurance Contract for each Insurance Program and Insurance Coverage, and this is the maximum amount paid out by the Insurer in the event of an Insured Event.
- If several Insured Events occur during the same Insurance Period, the expenses will be indemnified up to the Sum Insured indicated in the Insurance Program/Insurance Coverage.
