With regard to cover for foreign exchange risk relating to import transactions, the loss or profit that may result from a difference between the purchase price of the foreign currency and the price on the basis of which the cover was granted is, up to the cover percentage, borne by or for the benefit of the organisation referred to in article L. 432-2, after deduction, where applicable, of the fraction of this difference excluded from the cover.
However, the insured may only invoke the benefit of the guarantee if he/she has purchased the foreign currency within the period stipulated in the policy.
The loss or profit must be settled within a maximum period of one month from the date of receipt by the aforementioned organisation of the declaration of purchase of the currencies in the case of a loss, or from the date of purchase in the case of a profit.
Under no circumstances can the guarantee cover the additional costs incurred by the insured as a result of the increase, due to the rise in exchange rates, in duties, taxes or other charges payable in euros.
