Owner's Rights Provisions
- Allows policy owner to change the beneficiary and borrow against cash value.
- Owner can select premium payment modes, receive dividends, and has assignment rights.

Free Look and Consideration Provisions
- Free Look Provision: 10 days to cancel the policy for a full refund; extended to 30 days for seniors and replacement policies.

Grace Period
- Grace Period Provision extends coverage for 31 days past the premium due date.
- Benefits paid within this period will be deducted from the total payout.
Term Life Insurance

Decreasing Term Insurance
- Constant annual premium, with a declining face amount.
- Commonly used to secure mortgage payments; death benefit becomes zero at term end.
Increasing Term Insurance
