1.Duty of disclosure upon insurance

(1) Honesty in the duty of disclosure: When you are insuring the postal simple life insurance, please describe the past illness and current diseases on the application for insurance truthfully in detail according to the “matters of disclosure to insured.” If future findings reveal the active concealment of matters to be filled out in the foregoing article, or the negligence of omission, or false statement that could alter or lower the Company's assessment of risks, the Company may cancel the insurance contract accordingly. In case the accident of insurance takes place, Chunghwa Post may not pay for the insurance claims (Article 15 of the Simple Life Insurance Act)

(2) Where the premium has been paid for over one year and the Company is canceling the insurance contract, the applicant may, in accordance with the provisions under Article 21 of this Act, apply for a refund of the entitled policy value reserve and not other claims.

The payment terms and remittance accounts of the rider are the same as those of the base plan, and the premium of the base plan and rider shall be withheld together on the day of remittance for the main plan.

(2) For remittance via postal passbook saving, the details of payment (including the date, month of payment, amount, premium, and the appropriate year/month and insurance number) shall be printed on the postal passbook. Please check the inbound/outbound list of postal Giro savings after printing and distribution. For any error, please notify the postal branch in charge for investigation and processing.

(3) Grace period for renewal premium: The grace period for renewal premium is 3 months period commencing from the expiration date of the current payment. For example, if the contract validity day is January 20, 2005, the grace period of premium payment for February 2005 will be from February 20, 2005, to May 19 of the same year.

(4) For those choosing to withhold from the integrated postal saving account, if the account does not have sufficient balance to pay for the premium on the day agreed for payment withholding, the time deposit saving loan will be automatically activated to pay for the relevant premium and the interest incurred from such loan will be withheld from the postal passbooks at the end of each month.

(5) When the grace period for renewal of insurance premium expires and the premium is not paid, the validity of the insurance contract shall cease immediately. After the contract is lapsed, the company is not responsible for the insurance.

3.Automatic premium loan payment

To prevent lapse of contract, the applicant may select “automatic premium loan payment” accepted on the application form or agree to the automatic premium loan payment in writing during the validity of the contract.

(1) Automatic premium loan payment can avoid non-payment leading to the lapse of contract due to temporary negligence, affecting the rights and interests of the insurance. The automatic payment will help maintain contract validity and bring the function of insurance protection into full play. We encourage to utilize the service.

(2) The rider premium loan payment shall follow the terms and conditions outlined in the “Premium Loan Payment” clause. Both the base plan and the riders shall consolidate the premium and interest due for loan payment. After the expiration of the premium payment for the base plan, the rider premium shall be paid through a loan in continuation. If the applicant disagrees, the applicant will need to apply for termination of automatic premium loan payment. Nonetheless, after the base plan has applied for Reduced Paid Up (RPU) or extension of term life insurance, the premium and interests for the riders will not be paid through loan, nor could loan payment be applied.

After the lapse of the policy contract, the applicant may apply for reinstatement of the contract with consent from the Company in 2 years, and the right to claim for reinstatement shall be waived. In case of the lapse of the base plan and the rider while the reinstatement for the base plan has not been applied, the rider may not apply for reinstatement independently.

5.Apply for termination of contract

The base plan (except for the one-year term life insurance) with a premium paid up to at least one year may apply for the policy reserve due from the refund. If the premium for the base plan is under 1 year, there will be no due policy reserve for refund. When the rider and the base plan for the one-year term life insurance terminate, the number of days of premium paid for current period without expiration shall be returned by ratio. When the contract of the base plan terminates, the riders may terminate by the expiration of premium paid for the current period of the rider.

(2) Midway termination of the contract shall render less premium paid for the policy reserve due to the sharing of risk loss and some management expenses of the businesses prior to termination.

It is the foundation for life insurance policy in the calculation of policy loan, reduced paid-up insurance, the extension of term life insurance, change of insurance type, change of insurance amount, and termination upon returning the amount. The amount may vary according to the insured age of the insured, sex, and difference of insurance policy year.

From the day the amount of the loan is appropriated, the interest for borrowing shall be calculated by simple interest per interest rate announced. The applicant may repay the loan and the interest shall be calculated up to the day before repayment. The interest rate is calculated by month, regardless of 30 or 31 days. The days constituting a month shall be calculated as monthly interest or else shall be calculated by daily interest rate. However, the repayment on the same day as borrowing, the interest shall be calculated by one day. The calculation formula is shown below: borrowing amount x borrowing annual interest rate x (borrowing months /12 + non-full-month days of borrowing /365) 【to be rounded off under 1 NTD】
