Upon return of the policy, we will refund the premiums paid in regards to this policy less any medical expenses incurred by the Company in relation to any medical examination of the Life Assured.

Your policy may be subjected to re-underwriting and may result in changes to the policy term, benefits and premium.

You are given 15 days from the date the Policy Document is delivered to you to decide if you want to continue with it. If you do not wish to continue, you may cancel the policy by returning the policy to us with your request for cancellation.
