Rental agreements are valid until further notice, unless otherwise agreed.

4. UTILISE THE ACCIDENT INSURANCE AND OTHER BENEFITS OF THE FINNISH STUDENT SPORTS FEDERATIN OLL IN YOUR ASSOCIATION SPORTS EVENTS
OLL’s accident insurance covers sports try-outs and contests organised by OLL’s member communities, also including associations operating within AYY, which are reported to OLL in advance.
Accident insurance applies to members of OLL’s member communities who participate in sports try-outs or contests. The insurance is also valid during journeys directly related to these events (contests: floorball tournaments between subject organisations, running contests within subject organisations, the student union’s bowling course for beginners, etc.)
To be notified in advance:
– event, time and location
– estimation of the number of participants
– organising party (member organisation) and contact person with contact details
– report at least one week prior to the event to the address (oll(a)oll.fi)
Further information on insurance conditions, maximum amounts of compensation, etc. are available at http://www.oll.fi/edut/tapaturmavakuutus/ .
