French term or phrase: franchise par exposant
Bonjour,

Est-ce que ca veut dire "percentage (paid out) by the exhibitor?" Il s'agit d'assurance pour le compte d'exposants, pour leurs merchandises, moblier, materiaux de bureau, etc. Il me semble qu'il ya un ou deux mots qui manquent dans la phrase originale.

Contexte: **Franchise par exposant**-En vol et dommages accidentels uniquement: 10% du dommage avec un minimum de152,45 euros par sinistre.

Il me semble que la franchise qu'on doit payer n'est pas beaucoup. Pour cela, j'ai fait la traduction au-dessus.

Merci,

femme

deductible by exhibitor
Explanation:
it seems to me that it's the deductible the exhibitor has to pay in case of a claim. don't forget ~150 euros is just a minimum, but damages can be quite substantial... i'm involved in preparing packaging equipment exhibits and, for example, the cost of the equipment and the exhibit we're sending to a tradeshow later on this year is about 800K euros... so to me, damages can add up pretty quickly.. 10% is about right for a deductible. good luck!

Hi, Silt,

I ended up translating this phrase as simply "Exhibitor Deductible," but your translation came the closest to the idea of "paid out by.." You ought to know because of your life experience with this.

Thank you very much for your obviously well-informed comments and your help.

excess per exhibitor


Explanation:
Non, désolé, mais vous êtes mal aiguillée !

'franchise' dans un contexte d'assurance veut dire 'excess' --- c'est la partie de l'indemnisation d'une sinistre que ne rembourse pas l'assureur. C'est pour cette raison que le montant n'est pas très important.

Il ne manquerait pas de mots dans votre texte, dans le style qq peu abrégé des assureurs !

Ça n'a rien à voir avec la cotisation payée par l'exposant pour son contrat d'assurance.

'excess' is a UK term, I think the other answerers with their 'deductible' must be referring to US usage, but it sounds like it refers to the same thing.

  -> Thanks, Sara! I meant to be referring to Asker's original question, but I think my attempt at being colloquial went wrong ;-(( Don't you just WISH we could edit answer fields... ?
agree  writeaway: but strictly UK only and Mr Crockford (UK insurance expert) mentioned in an answer/comment to a question that deductible is now a term used in UK as well./I was very grateful to Mr Crockford for having mentioned it (don't remember which language pair)
