Insurance 

In accordance with the article included in the contract signed with FISU: Following the Attribution Contract Art.9, the second parties undertake jointly and severally to guarantee FISU, its administrators and staff members, immunity from and for any and all damages resulting from any neglect or offence - however slight this neglect or offence may be - related to the organisation and good progress of the 25th Winter Universiade 2011, and against any prejudice sustained by FISU or by a third party, according to the principle of legal and contractual liability, even in cases of absolute necessity and force majeure.

The Organising Committee shall contract, at its cost, an appropriate general liability insurance policy acceptable to FISU for the amount of ten million us dollars (10,000,000 USD) covering the risks of any liability or damages arising out of the organisation of the Universiade and any act of the OC, or its mandatories and employees, from its constitution to its dissolution (Art. 4.2). The insurance will cover all claims for loss, injury or damage to goods and individuals arising from the holding of the Universiade.

The insurance coverage of our organization is as follows:

General Liability Insurance
According to FISU Regulations for the Winter Universiade, the Organizing Committee for Erzurum 25th Winter Universiade has signed a special liability insurance contract with company Marsh

At the same time, participating countries and regions must apply for corresponding insurance covering their trip and competition activities, which is neither the responsibility of EWUOC nor FISU.

Health Insurance
Each delegation must have an appropriate medical insurance coverage for any medical expenses, which is not the responsibility of Erzurum OC. Each traveler must have health insurance coverage for any medical expenses, or he/she can request the health institution of his/her own country to provide the most appropriate insurance procedures in Turkey.

Erzurum OC will provide all accredited personnel with first aid service free of charge. The designated hospitals and infirmaries of WU 2011 will provide general and expert health care upon payment. During the first aid service, the medicines that can be provided by Erzurum OC are free of charge.
