During the rental of a Dott electric scooter (“Dott Vehicle”) by an

Civil Liability Insurance covers physical injury to third parties or
damage to third parties property caused by you during the Cover Period
(defined in Section 3) up to the maximum coverage limits stated in Section
4.1, and
-
Accident Insurance covers your serious injuries (described in Section 4.2)
