If the insured event has already occurred at the time the contract is made, the contract is void. However, where the contract is void due to the company's intent or negligence, or where the company knew or could have known of the nullity before acceptance yet did not refund the premium, the company refunds the premium with interest at the policy-loan rate published by the Korea Insurance Development Institute, compounded annually, for the period from the day after payment to the day of refund.
The specific losses not covered (exclusions) are set out in each insurer's policy wording and product description; the main exclusions are summarised on this page. For other cover-specific grounds on which claims are not paid, please refer to the policy wording.
The company provides cover, in accordance with the policy, from the time it accepts the application and receives the first premium. Where the company accepts the application after receiving the first premium with it, cover also begins from the time the first premium was received.
The application must be completed by the policyholder, and the policyholder and the insured must sign it by hand. Failure to sign by hand may result in disadvantages regarding the validity of the contract. On an internet cyber-mall, an electronic signature may be used instead.
The policyholder has the right to be given and have explained the information needed about the product they wish to buy.
The insurer and N2N Insurance Brokerage must explain the important matters of the product to ordinary financial consumers.
When applying, the policyholder, the insured or their agent must disclose truthfully the facts they know regarding the questions in the application (including the questionnaire). Otherwise the claim may be declined or the contract cancelled. Where insurance is taken out by telephone or other means of communication, the duty is performed by answering the seller's questions, which are recorded, without a separate written questionnaire, so answers must be given with particular care.
If, after the contract is made, any of the following arises in respect of the subject-matter insured, the policyholder or the insured must notify the company in writing without delay and obtain endorsement on the policy.
The surrender value is the amount paid if the contract is cancelled early. Unlike bank savings, insurance combines risk protection and savings: part of the premium is paid out as claims to other policyholders who suffer accidents, and part covers the insurer's operating expenses, so the surrender value on early cancellation may be less than the premiums paid, or nil.
Except as provided by law, the insurer and N2N Insurance Brokerage do not collect, use, inspect or provide personal data related to this contract — for its conclusion, maintenance and claim payment — without the consent of the policyholder, the insured or the beneficiary. However, for those purposes the insurer may, with the consent of the policyholder and the insured and in accordance with law, provide personal data to other insurers and insurance-related bodies.
The above is a summary and excerpt of the policy wording; for grounds on which claims are not paid and other details, please refer to the policy wording and product description.
Risk patterns that come up often in training — a five-scenario self-check
Public/private training centres bear accident risk for trainees outside industrial accident.
Field-practice and internship programmes carry practice-accident risk.
In-house and new-recruit training also bears trainee-accident risk.
Practical and field training carries no small accident risk.
Practice outside the training site is handled by an off-site-practice endorsement.
The core of vocational trainee accident insurance is the protection gap. Students, trainees and interns in a vocational-training course are often not wage-earning workers, so industrial-accident insurance frequently does not apply to them. Yet training involves practical and field education, carrying no small accident risk. When an accident happens, what would have been an industrial-accident matter for a worker remains a protection gap for a trainee. This insurance fills that gap, covering the treatment cost, disability compensation, training-interruption absence compensation and death compensation of an accident during training. But an unauthorised departure from training, or an accident during a private activity, is within the exclusions.
