World’s First Open Source Insurance Policy

Congratulations! This is your Lemonade Multi-Risk Housing Insurance Policy for the home you’re renting at 18 Rue Jean et Marie Moinon, 75010 Paris. Your policy number is LP234F32.

We want to make sure you know what you're getting for your payment of   6,75 € per month, so we did our best to make this policy short and easy to understand.

This policy covers you, Lucie Martin, your partner, and any children, permanently living at 18 Rue Jean et Marie Moinon, 75010 Paris.

Any mention of you or your stuff within this policy also applies to these other people and their things.

This policy covers damages to your stuff, and events directly leading to damage or injury to others, that occur after 23 April 2024 at 23:08, for as long as it remains active.

We’ll automatically renew your policy on an annual basis until either one of us decides to discontinue.

We cover your stuff against fire, smoke, explosion, power surge, theft, vandalism, windstorms, hail, snow pressure, collisions by vehicles or aircraft to your home, and water damage caused by leaks, ruptures, overflows, or blockages of pipes or appliances, or infiltration through your roof or bathroom seals and tiles.

We also cover your stuff against natural or technological catastrophes (e.g. flooding, earthquakes, industrial disasters) when declared by the government and published in the Official Journal, and acts of terrorism.

You’re also covered against accidental glass breakage.

We provide a legal defense if you cause injuries or damages to others, or seek recourse against others if you have sustained damage or injury.

We also provide legal advice and help you pursue legal action for disputes related to your home, your employment, consumer agreements, small housing works, and online reputation.

Call +33 243 204 111 for legal emergencies or advice.

If you’d like to increase any of the above coverages, please let us know.

We offer 100% replacement value for any destroyed, damaged, or stolen item. This means we will pay you the cost to repair or replace an item (whichever is lower) based on the price of a new one of the same make and model, without any deductions. If the exact item is no longer available, we’ll reimburse you enough to buy a replacement of equivalent type and quality. We don’t pay less just because your damaged item was used.

This policy covers your stuff, up to a limit of 10 000 € per event, for damages caused by fire, smoke, explosion, power surge, theft, vandalism, windstorm, hail, snow pressure, collisions by vehicles or aircraft to your home, and water damage caused by leaks, ruptures, overflows, or blockages of pipes or appliances, or infiltration through your roof or bathroom seals and tiles.

We also cover your stuff against natural or technological catastrophes (e.g. flooding, earthquakes, industrial disasters) when declared by the government and published in the Official Journal, and acts of terrorism.

We pay up to 5 000 € per item. Higher value items will need to be added to your policy and approved by our team first. So please let us know if you have any items worth more than 5 000 € each, so we can cover them fully. Things normally purchased as a pair or set (like a pair of earrings or a drum kit), or which form part of a collection of rare or unique things, are considered a single item.

We will cover reasonable and necessary costs arising from above covered damages, to protect your stuff (e.g. to clean-up, to move your stuff during repairs, to transport your stuff into temporary storage or to a new address, to provide temporary security). If the total damages exceed the coverage amount you selected, we’ll provide an extra 10% to cover these additional costs.

We provide emergency 24/7 assistance services through our partner, Allianz Partners, for the home you’re insuring, and cover the cost up to 300 € per event. Depending on the type of emergency, we can arrange a locksmith, plumber, electrician, glazier, gas specialist, organize a stay at a hotel (up to 150 €/night per person for 3 days), or cover the costs to move you and your stuff. So if you lose your keys and need someone to open your door, we can send a locksmith to let you in. For more details, see the terms and conditions attached to this policy.

If you are underinsured (meaning the coverage amount you selected is less than the total value of your stuff), we’ll waive our right to reduce the amount we pay. But we do not cover damage above the coverage amount you selected.

This policy covers you up to a limit of 10 000 € per event for damage resulting in sudden and unexpected glass breakage, even if you accidentally caused it. For example, if your neighbor kicks their football through your window, or your stovetop glass breaks, we’ll cover it.

We will pay the damages on your behalf up to  6 000 000 € in total for all events occurring within the policy year. A series of events relating to the same cause will be treated as a single event occurring at the same time the first of these events occurs.

We cover damage to the home you rent (including rented furnishings), if caused by fire, explosion, or water leaks. This includes damage to any impacted neighbors or other third parties.

We also cover damage to a holiday house you rent for less than 3 months (including rented furnishings), if caused by fire, explosion, or water leaks. This includes damage to any impacted neighbors or other third parties.

We also cover damage or injury you cause to others as part of the risks of everyday life as a private individual.

We may investigate, settle, or contest the complaint on your behalf as we judge best. You cannot settle the complaint without our written prior approval.

If needed, we’ll provide a legal defense or seek recourse against others and pay for your legal costs up to a limit of 20 000 € TTC in total for all disputes occurring within the policy year.

For certain legal fees, there is a maximum amount that we pay. For expenses relating to miscellaneous fees, interlocutory and ex parte summary proceedings (“référés et requêtes”), Police Court (“tribunal de police”), successful out-of-court settlements, and support to legal expertise, we will pay up to 500 € TTC each per court proceeding. For other fees relating to Lower Courts (“tribunaux judiciaires” and “tribunaux administratifs”), and Courts of Appeal (“cours d’appel”), we will pay up to 1 000 € TTC each per court proceeding. And for fees relating to Supreme Courts (“Cour de Cassation” and “Conseil d’Etat”), we will pay up to 2 000 € TTC per court proceeding.

We provide legal protection for disputes related to the home you live in (e.g. noisy neighbors, rental agreements), consumer agreements (e.g. a retailer delivers faulty goods, agreements with a travel agent), or construction works up to 10 000 € (e.g. a contractor providing a faulty service, non compliance with a warranty).

We also cover disputes regarding your employment (e.g. unpaid wages, discrimination at work), administrative services related to social services and pensions (e.g. mobility benefit refusal, retirement pension suspension), domestic violence, and bullying.

We also cover your online reputation (e.g. someone shares non-authorized videos from your personal life) and web-cleaning procedures when possible.

For these disputes, we help you reach an amicable agreement, pursue and defend legal claims if no amicable solution is possible, and make sure the judicial decision is put in place. We also provide confidential advice online or over the phone on any personal legal matter covered under this policy and provide you with the contact of a legal professional if the legal matters are not covered.

We cover proceedings that have occurred inside the EU and EFTA state members.

You need to tell us about a dispute as soon as it happens, and provide as much information as possible to support your case. If your claim is legally founded and is accepted, we’ll cover your legal costs up to 20 000 € per dispute. For expenses relating to amicable disputes , online reputation and web-services, we’ll pay up to 1 000 € per event. For judicial expertises, we’ll pay up to 4 000 € per dispute.

Call +33 243 204 111 for legal emergencies or advice, Monday to Saturday, between 8 AM and 8 PM. This service is provided by Covéa Protection Juridique.

Please see your Legal Protection Coverage by Covéa Protection Juridique attached to your policy for more coverage details and legal fees limits.

A deductible is an amount that defines your participation in potential damage. It’s called a deductible, because it’s deducted from your claim payment.

For example, if you have a covered claim that amounts to 7 000 €, we will end up paying you 6 850 € (after we deduct the 150 € ‘deductible'). It also means there's no point in filing claims for anything less than 150 €.

Opting for a higher deductible means you’re taking more of the risk on yourself, so it is often a way to lower your monthly payment. You can increase or decrease your deductible. It’s up to you.

There are special cases where the deductible you select will not apply. For damage caused by a natural catastrophe, the deductible is set by regulation (currently 380 € per event in most cases). We will apply the deductible required at the time of the event. And for costs relating to emergency assistance services or legal expenses, no deductible applies.

Notify us right away of any damage or loss.

Call the relevant authorities (e.g. police, fire department, emergency medical services) or other people in a position to help (e.g. landlord, apartment manager).

Take reasonable steps to avoid or minimize the damage (e.g. move property or people out of harm's way, try to put out the fire, call a plumber to prevent ongoing damage). You can include any associated costs that you consider reasonable and necessary in your claim.

Take reasonable steps to recover your losses. If other insurance exists that may cover the damage, you need to inform us and provide us with the details we ask for. To the extent the loss is separately reimbursed, no coverage is provided.

Provide us with the information and records we ask for as soon as possible (e.g. contact information for parties that may be involved, proof of ownership).

We may ask you to provide evidence or recorded statements relating to your claim. We may also ask you to take other reasonable steps to ensure we have complete and truthful accounts of the loss and its circumstances.

If you end up recovering your stuff (e.g. it was stolen and you get it back), you agree to return the money we paid you for that loss.

We may also report it to the authorities.

Our policies renew automatically on an annual basis. Your policy will remain active until it is cancelled by you or by us.

You are free to cancel your policy at any time, and we will return the unused portion of your payments. Also, please note cancellation will only take place from the date you asked us to cancel the policy, and not before.

If we choose to cancel this policy, we’ll notify you at [email protected] and by Electronic Registered Mail. We will provide at least 10 days’ notice in the case of material misrepresentation, one month’s notice if we cancel after a claim or change in risk, or two months’ notice for termination at the end of the annual policy.

If you fail to make the very first payment, your policy will not be activated until payment has been made, and received by us.

For failure of subsequent payments, we will send you a reminder to the email you provided. We will also send a notice by Electronic Registered Mail at least 10 days after the payment due date informing you that your coverage will be suspended 30 days later. If we do not receive the full payment within 10 days after your coverage has been suspended, your policy will be cancelled immediately, according to statutory provisions.

Our goal is for the majority of simple claims to be paid almost instantly once you complete the claim report on the Lemonade app. There will be cases in which we’ll need to fully review the incident to approve the claim and reach an agreement with you. We will then make payment within 10 days following agreement or a court decision.

As part of loss payments that might take place under this policy, we will pursue the responsible party to recover what we can, to the extent we are allowed to, according to statutory provisions.

If you get reimbursed by someone else, like your credit card company, your friend, or landlord, you agree to return the money we paid you for that loss. No double-collecting allowed!

If any of the information you have provided to us has changed, you need to let us know.

If you were previously insured with us, you’ll continue to be covered at your previous address for up to one month after you start moving out at no extra charge, so long as the previous address is within France.

In the case that you’re moving from your current address, you’ll need to cancel this policy and create a new one at your new address. You’ll continue to be covered at your current address for up to one month after you start moving out. After one month, this policy will automatically end.

Your 6,75 € per month payment corresponds to an annual premium of  86,90 €, which includes 16,61 € of taxes. Your first payment of 12,65 € includes the mandatory 5,90 € contribution to the Guarantee Fund for Victims of Terrorism and Other Offences (“Fonds de garantie des victimes des actes de terrorise et autres infractions”). The mandatory contribution will be added to your first payment upon each annual renewal.

Your insurance contract is made up of both this policy and the additional legal documents attached to this policy.

Kudos to you my friend, because you’ve just become a master of your insurance policy! Tell your mom, brag at parties, put it on your resume… because let’s face it, people will be impressed.

And of course, please contact us if anything remains unclear, or if you need more coverage than this policy provides.

We wish you a wonderful year - but should you encounter any problems along the way, we’ll do our best to undo them.
