The applicable benefit will become payable when all of the conditions of eligibility have been met. We will
pay the applicable benefit each month during the lifetime of the insured and while the buy-sell continues
even if recovery should occur but no longer than the specified benefit period. The buy-sell benefit we
shall pay each month is the monthly installment as established by a business valuation but not more than the monthly benefit shown on the schedule page. The total of all buy-sell benefits shall not exceed the lesser of the business valuation total or the benefit shown on the certificate schedule page.
Underwriters will pay the benefit to the loss payee if competent medical authority determines the insured
to be permanently totally disabled as to being able to perform the substantial and material duties of
his/her occupation.
The buy-sell benefit shall become payable when all of the
conditions of eligibility have been met. The buy-sell benefit is a
lump sum benefit amount established by a business valuation.
Sickness means disease or illness which is first diagnosed and results in a
disability beginning while in the Certificate is in force. Injury means accidental
body injury sustained and which results in a disability beginning while the
Certificate is in force.
Permanent Total Disability means that in the opinion of competent medical
authority the insured will not recover from the effects of a sickness or injury to the extent that the Insured will ever be able to resume the material and substantial duties of the Insured's occupation.
The Certificate of Insurance is issued for periods of insurance ranging from one [1] to five [5]
years in duration. It is contemplated that the plans will be renewed, however, the underwriters reserve the right to refuse to renew the Certificate or to change the premium rates on renewal
of the Certificate. Evidence of insurability may be required by the underwriters for consideration
of renewal. Non-renewal by the Insure will be without prejudice to any claim in
connection with a loss commencing while this plan is in force.
This is a Specified Occupation Plan. It will terminate automatically if you change from the
occupation in which you were engaged in at the time the plan was issued, unless an agreement has been obtained in writing from the underwriters an any additional premium required by
the underwriters has been paid. The sole liability of the underwriters in the event of an
occupation change shall be to return on a pro-rata basis any unearned premiums paid for the
balance of the plan term.
