French term (edited): conditions partculi�res

This phrase can be used to mean either schedule OR special conditions. Without more detail, it is impossible to be certain, but it would seem likely from your quote that it is a scehdule in this instance. This is normally a short one-page attachment to the policy wording (which would be a standard company wording) specifying things relating to the particulae risk being insured, such as the policy period, deductible, sum insured, risk location, etc.

This would seem to fit in with your context, but the phrase is sometimes used for special conditions, which are conditions particular to that risk in addition to the general conditions that would apply to all of that company's risks of a particular type (e.g. fire, all risks, etc.).

The definition and notes in gdt is as follows:

Définition :
Dispositions contractuelles qui individualisent une police d\'assurance et l\'adaptent aux besoins de chaque assuré.

Note(s) :
Les conditions particulières énumèrent les choix faits par l\'assuré parmi les conditions générales du contrat. Elles fixent les montants, valeurs et capitaux tels qu\'ils ressortent de la proposition d\'assurance et modifient les conditions générales, en accord entre assureur et assuré, en vue d\'adapter le contrat au cas particulier que constitue chaque contrat. Elles mentionnent, par exemple, le nom et l\'adresse de l\'assuré, la date de prise d\'effet et la durée du contrat, le montant de la prime et celui de la garantie.

The gdt gives \"declarations\" as a translation. I would comment that I have NEVER come across this used in English in this sense!
