This plan is an insurance plan without any savings element. All premiums are paid for the insurance and related costs.

1. You need to pay the premium for this plan until the age of 100 as long as you renew for this plan. If you do not pay the premium within 30 days of the premium due date, the policy will be terminated and you / the insured person will lose the cover.
   
2. We will terminate your policy and you / the insured person will lose the cover when one of the following happens:
   
   • the insured person passes away;
     
   • you do not pay the premium within 30 days after the premium due date;
     
   • the Company has ceased to have the requisite authorization under the Insurance Ordinance to write or continue to write the plan; or
     
   • when taking this plan as an add-on plan of any basic plan which has been terminated. For continuation of the cover, you may apply to convert this add-on plan to a standalone plan by giving us a written notice.
     
3. We underwrite the plan and you are subject to our credit risk. If we are unable to satisfy the financial obligations of the policy, the insured person may lose his cover and you may lose the remaining premium for that policy year.
   
4. The future medical costs will be higher than they are today due to inflation. Hence, the benefit amounts and the future premium rate of this plan may be revised to reflect the inflation.

   • policy surrenders and lapses
     
   • expenses directly related to the policy and indirect expenses allocated to this product
