Bus/Financial - Insurance / terms and conditions
Norwegian term or phrase: forsikringer er tegnet/tegnes
Hi - I'm having difficulty coming up with a translation that properly reflects the intent. "if it has been taken out/is taken out" seems a bit redundant, as well as the insurance company notifying that it's been taken out. Am I missing something here?

Thanks for your help!

Denne avtalen er gjeldende for forsikringstakers personalforsikringer dersom de er tegnet/tegnes hos XXXX Forsikring eller tegning av forsikringen er formidlet av XXXX Forsikring

insurance policies have been obtained/are obtained
Explanation:
It does sound a bit redundant, but I guess they're crossing their t's and making sure that they are covering all such policies as have been obtained or as are obtained (in the future) from xxxx insurance company. And then there is the passive structure that infers that the policies were obtained by the insured party.

In a contract, I would use "obtain" rather than "take out".

agree  Charles Ek: The language is all about enforcing contractual obligations for each party. But the “passive” reference is wrong. The last bitis about brokerage, in contrast to obtaining the cover(age) directly from XXXX.

insurances have been/ are effected


Explanation:
- rather than 'affected' and, as I have just recalled pre-Alzheimers, the formal notarial and insurance term.

Insurance just about pluralises, whilst 'insurance(s) taken out or signed up to' had been used colloquially in my City of London law firm for life policies and endowment mortgages 'effected' on 'payment effectuated'.

Have been or taken out or 'signed up to' - though objected to as colloquial by ex-Lloyds of London insurance translators, is perfectly understandable, plus it may not be a good idea to add policies if none have been issued, rather might be a contract in the form of an ins. cert.

NB it is the forsikring as insurance that is a peculiar form of contract, rather than denne avtalen that cannot be 'taken out'.




Example sentence(s):
  • A representative of the insurer in negotiating, servicing or *effecting* insurance contracts.
