If the Life Insured dies due to an Accidental Death at any time whilst covered by the Plan, We will pay double the Cover Amount. 2. What is not covered If the Life Insured dies due to a non-accidental Death during the Accidental Death Period, the full Cover Amount will not be payable. However, We will refund the Premiums paid to date. 3. Who can be covered A life insured must be aged between 30 and 79 years of age and a resident of the UK at the Cover Commencement Date. If You do change Your residency status, it s important that You let Us know. A change in residency may be subject to tax implications, and this is Your responsibility. 4. Cover Amount The minimum Cover Amount is 1,000. The maximum Cover Amount You can have at the Cover Commencement Date is 20,000. Regardless of how many Plans You take out, the total Cover Amount for each Life Insured cannot exceed 20,000 (not including Inflation Fighter increases). You can always change Your level of cover at a later date, upwards or downwards, within the above limits. Any increase in cover other than Inflation Fighter will have a new Accidental Death Period applied to the additional amount. 5. Plan Options Below are the Plan options You can select. Your selections are shown on Your Plan Schedule. 5.1 Accidental Death Period You can choose a 12 or a 24 month Accidental Death Period. 5.2 Level or Increasing Premiums You can choose Your premium type: Level or Increasing Premiums.

With Increasing Premiums, the amount You pay increases on each Plan Anniversary until the Life Insured s 90th Birthday. Your Cover Amount will stay the same unless you choose Inflation Fighter or ask us to change your Cover Amount. If the Increasing Premium option is chosen, You can switch to Level Premiums at any time but this will impact the Premium or Cover Amount. If You switch from Increasing Premiums to Level Premiums, You cannot switch back. 5.3 Inflation Fighter Inflation Fighter is optional and helps protect Your Cover Amount against rising costs over time. If selected, at each Plan Anniversary before the Life Insured s 90th Birthday, the Cover Amount is increased by 3%. If You have selected Level Premiums with Inflation Fighter, then, Your Premiums will increase by 4.5% to pay for this extra cover. If You have selected Increasing Premiums with Inflation Fighter, then Premiums increase by 7.5%. Inflation Fighter can be selected or removed at any time, but once removed, it cannot be selected again. Premium type How much Your Cover Amount and Premiums increase Inflation Fighter on or off Annual Increase in Cover Amount Level Off 0% 0% Level On 3% 4.5% Increasing Off 0% 3% Increasing On 3% 7.5% Annual Increase in Premium 6.

As long as You pay Your Premiums when due, the Plan will continue until the Life Insured dies. The last Premium payable is the one before the Life Insured s 90th birthday. After that, You won t have to pay any further Premiums and the Plan continues for free.
