Scope of Permitted Use
The insurance services and products described on Treppy.io are made available only to persons in those jurisdictions in which such products and services may legally be sold and purchased. Nothing on the Treppy.io shall be considered a solicitation to buy or an offer to sell any products or services to any person in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, purchase or sale would be unlawful. As a consequence, not all insurance products described in this website are available to all persons in all jurisdictions at all times.
Certain restrictions, conditions and eligibility requirements may apply.

Nature of Insurance Offered
The insurance plans available on Treppy.io are short-term temporary medical plans for visitors to the United States or other persons who do not have a permanent residence in the United States. These plans are not a substitute for primary long-term medical insurance, which you may be obliged to purchase under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. If you are a United States citizen or permanent resident, it is your responsibility to determine what type of health insurance to purchase. You, and not Treppy™, are solely responsible for your purchase of an insurance plan through Treppy.io and all consequences resulting from your decision to purchase any such insurance plan.
Most travel insurance plans provide insurance coverage that applies only during the covered trip. You may have coverage from other sources that provide you with similar benefits, but which is subject to different restrictions depending upon your other coverage. For example, you may wish to compare the terms of a particular travel insurance policy with your existing life, health, home, and automobile insurance policies. If you have any questions about your current coverage, call your insurer or insurance agent or broker.
You must read the insurance policy brochure and insurance plan details for complete and accurate details of the insurance policy you are considering purchasing. Only the terms and conditions of coverage and benefits listed in the insurance policy are binding. Please review the evidence of coverage and insurance plan contract for a detailed description of insurance policy eligibility criteria, coverage, benefits, claims process, limitations and exclusions.
