To answer the questions on your application correctly to the best of your knowledge. If you don t answer the questions fully, truthfully and accurately this could affect how much we pay out if you make a claim and could mean we won t pay out your claim at all. Risks If you don t pay your premiums during the premium term, your policy and your cover will end 30 days after your last payment was due and you won t get any money back. If you decide to end your policy, you won t get any money back as the policy has no cash-in value. The cash lump sum we pay is fixed, so inflation will reduce what it can buy in the future. You should review your cover to ensure that it remains adequate over time. Depending on how long you have the policy for, the amount we pay out on your death may be less than the total amount you ve paid in. If you die in the first year and your death isn t caused by an accident, we won t pay the guaranteed cash lump sum. Instead, we ll pay an amount equal to the premiums paid.
