Duration of the policy The policy remains in force until one of the following occurs: 28 The Royalties Gold Account is closed Each traveller reaches 70 years of age, unless they buy an age extension. Cover for other travellers will continue to operate. Any traveller is no longer a UK resident. Upgrades and extensions to cover will either be renewable annually (we will send you a renewal notice) or will be for a single trip only. Because the Royalties Gold Account Travel Insurance has no end date, and your circumstances will change from time to time, it is important that you regularly review the cover to ensure it meets your needs. Cancellation rights The account holder can cancel this policy at any time by telling us either over the phone or in writing. However, this insurance is included as an integral benefit with your Royalties Gold Account. You do not, therefore, pay a separate premium and would not receive any refund as a consequence of cancelling the policy. The account holder can cancel any upgrades or endorsements at any time by telling us either over the phone or in writing. We will not refund any premium unless the account holder cancels the relevant upgrade or endorsement within 14 days from the date of purchase or renewal or the date of receiving the relevant documents or renewal notice, whichever is the later, and so long as no insured person has travelled or made a claim.
