These Terms of Service (hereafter “ToS”) apply to the use of the app Lemonade Insurance (hereafter “App”) as well as the Lemonade online portal on the website www.lemonade.com/nl (hereafter “Portal“) as provided by Lemonade Insurance N.V., registered in the Trade Register of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 73227420 and with VAT identification number NL859409995B01, and Lemonade Agency B.V., registered in the Trade Register of the Chamber of Commerce under number 75134454 and with VAT identification number NL860156990B01, both having their registered office at Spuistraat 112A, 1012 VA, Amsterdam, both represented by Daniel Schreiber, (hereinafter jointly referred to as "Lemonade") and all services in connection with this, unless excluded from the scope of application of the ToS in accordance with Clause 1.2 below (the App, the Portal, and the services rendered within the framework of the App and the Portal, are hereafter together the “Services”).
Part of the Services are not any potential insurance contractual services, in particular not the granting of insurance cover. The ToS therefore do not apply to insurance contracts concluded through the Services, which are subject to specific conditions.
The use of the Services is subject exclusively to these ToS. Provisions in deviation of these ToS only apply where Lemonade has consented to them in writing.
Downloading of the App from a third party provider, e.g. through the Apple AppStore (for iOS devices) or the Google Play Store (for Android devices) is subject to the conditions of the respective third party provider.
Only consumers in accordance with article 6:230g of the Dutch Civil Code ("DCC") registered for the use of the Services are entitled to use the service (hereafter: "Registered User“). The following languages are available for the conclusion of the contract: English Dutch.
In order to register for the App, it is necessary to install the App onto a mobile device and start it to complete the registration procedure.
The data requested by the App, or, as applicable, in connection with the Portal, must be given completely and correctly, however errors can be corrected at any time. In order to detect errors during the data input, Lemonade provides the user the technical means in the form of a common check for completeness (controls as to whether all mandatory fields have been completed).
After successful activation by the user, Lemonade will establish an individual user account for the user and inform the user of this through a notification in the App or in the form of information on the website. With the information on the successful establishment of a user account, the registration procedure is completed and a user agreement is in place between Lemonade and the Registered User regarding the use of the Services.
Lemonade stores the text of the contractual agreement. The user may retrieve and download the text of the contractual agreement in the form of these ToS at any time via the corresponding menu in the App or, as applicable, the Portal.
Lemonade does not claim any remuneration for the use of the Services. Users may, however, potentially incur connection fees in accordance with the tariffs contracted by the Registered User through his mobile telephone or internet provider.
Registered Users must ensure that the information given is up to date. Personal access data (such as passwords) must not be forwarded to third parties and must be maintained to protect them from the access by third parties. The password should be changed regularly for security purposes. Where there is reason to assume that unauthorised persons have gained knowledge of the access data, the user must inform Lemonade in text form and change his access data immediately.
A precondition for the use of the Services by the Registered User through the App is a web-enabled mobile device running iOS or Android operating systems in the version(s) specified as the minimum requirement during the download.
The use of the Services via the Portal is possible where the system used by the Registered User fulfils the following requirements: Web-enabled device, current browser.
The use of the Services also requires an internet connection with a sufficient data transmittal rate.
Lemonade reserves the right to adjust the Services in accordance with the market conditions on an ongoing basis. To utilise the Services, it is in particular necessary to keep the operating system or, as applicable, the App up to date. Adjustments may further lead to older devices no longer complying with the requirements, or only in a limited manner.
The Services provided by Lemonade enable the Registered Users, in particular,
For this purpose, Lemonade provides certain information for retrieval or download in the App and in the Portal.
Further information will be given to the user during the conclusion of the contract for these products. All insurance contracts, including the conclusion via the App or in connection with the Portal, are subject to specific conditions which will be provided to the user separately upon the conclusion of the insurance contract.
Lemonade aims to provide the Services 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, but does however not undertake to provide uninterrupted availability of the Services. The availability may be limited due to reasons of force majeure including strikes, lockouts and administrative orders, as well as due to technical or other measures, necessary in respect of e.g. the systems of Lemonade, the service provider or the network provider for orderly operation or improvement of the Services (e.g. maintenance, repair, system-related software updates, extensions). Disruptions to the Services may also result from short-term capacity shortfalls during peak utilisation of the Services or from disturbances of the telecommunications systems of third parties. Lemonade will undertake all reasonable efforts to remedy such disruptions immediately or to ensure actions to that effect. During any scheduled maintenance works, Lemonade will take into account the justified interests of the users, in particular by conducting the maintenance works at times of typically low usage. In case of interruption of the Services as described in this clause, Lemonade will accept no liability of any kind for loss or damage arising (in)directly from such an interruption.
The Registered User is granted only the non-exclusive, non-transferable and not sub-licensable right to use the Services in accordance with the provisions of these ToS. Further rights of use are not granted.
Following conclusion of the user agreement, a personal user account is established for the Registered User. The Registered User ensures that the information communicated by him is up to date at all times, and keeps his access data secret, in particular secures his mobile device against unauthorised access, e.g. by password protection.
The Registered User must not use the Services in an abusive manner. Abusive use of the Services is, in particular, given where the Registered User
The user commits to not undertake electronic attacks of any kind. An electronic attack is in particular the attempt to overcome or evade the security measures of Lemonade or render them inoperative in some other way, the use of computer programmes to automatically retrieve data, the use of and/or the distribution of viruses, worms, trojans, brute force attacks, spam or the use of other links, programmes or procedures which could be harmful for Lemonade.
The Registered User may terminate the user agreement at any time without a period of notice via the corresponding function in the App or in the Portal. Lemonade is entitled to terminate the user agreement with a period of notice of two (2) weeks at all times.
The right to an extraordinary termination without notice for a material reason remains unaffected. A material reason is given for Lemonade in particular where the Registered User violates a prohibition in Clause 5.2.
In the event that the user provides deliberately inaccurate personal data or information required for the purposes of the insurance contract, or in the event of fraud or attempted fraud, Lemonade is entitled to terminate the contract with immediate effect. In the event of a significant breach of legal or contractual obligations by the user or where there are serious grounds for suspecting such a breach or in the event of serious or inappropriate behaviour towards Lemonade’s personnel (repeated harassing contacts, abusive language, aggression etc), Lemonade is entitled to terminate the contract taking into account a termination period of two months. In case the user provides deliberately incorrect personal data or information required for the insurance contract, or in case of fraud or attempted fraud, or in the event of serious or inappropriate behaviour towards Lemonade’s personnel, Lemonade is entitled to block the user's access to the services. Lemonade will notify the user by e-mail of the reasons for the proposed blocking and will provide the user with a reasonable period of time to comply with Lemonade's requests or to cease the alleged conduct. The user will have the option to respond to Lemonade. If the responses are not satisfactory to Lemonade, if the violation is not remedied, or if the behaviour continues, Lemonade will notify the user that the blocking measure is being implemented. The blocking measure will remain in place until the breach is remedied and/or the user has made a credible commitment to refrain from further breaches of its obligations. The blocking measure can be maintained for a maximum of two years.
Data Protection
During the use of the Services, Lemonade will collect and process personal data. The data processing will be effected in accordance with the provisions of the respective applicable data protection laws. Further information on this can be found in the privacy policy of Lemonade.

In place of the not-included or invalid provisions of these ToS, statutory law shall apply. Where such statutory law does not exist in a particular case (regulatory gap) or would lead to an unreasonable outcome, the parties will commence negotiations in order to come to a valid provision which replaces the invalid provision with one which is as close as possible to it in an economic sense.
