To better protect the Policyowner's rights, the application of the designation of the Incapacity Benefit Recipient should be signed by the Policyowner in the witness of an independent third party.

Hong Kong Life will determine the respective new Principal Amount of the Policy after split and the Split Policy(ies).
    iv. The Policy Currency, Policy Date, Issue Date, Premium Payment Term, Maturity Date and Policy Years of the Split Policy(ies) will be the same as the Policy. All Policy values under the Policy, including the Guaranteed Cash Value, Annual Dividend (if any), Terminal Dividend (if any), premium (if any) and Total Premiums Paid will be reduced and transferred to the Split Policy(ies) in accordance with the new Principal Amount for the Policy and Split Policy(ies) after policy split. The adjustment of policy values in the Policy and the Split Policy(ies) after policy split will become the basis for the calculation of Death Benefit, Maturity Benefit, Wealth Succession Bonus (if any) and Incapacity Benefit (if any) in the Policy and the Split Policy(ies). The maximum amount payable for Wealth Succession Bonus in the Policy and each of the Split Policy(ies) will be adjusted proportionally in accordance to the designated portion of the Principal Amount to be transferred from the Policy to each of the Split Policy(ies).
    v. All benefits, terms and conditions of the Policy will apply to the Split Policy(ies) unless otherwise specified.

    vii. All Supplementary Benefit(s) attached to the Policy will remain in force. Without prejudice to the termination clause of the Supplementary Benefit(s) attached to the Policy, the Supplementary Benefit(s) shall be terminated automatically on the date of endorsement if there is a reduction of coverage amount of Supplementary Benefit(s) induced by the reduction of the Principal Amount of the Policy to be lower than the minimum amount or any other relevant requirements as determined by Hong Kong Life from time to time.Hong Kong Life reserves the right not to accept any application of policy split and has the absolute discretion to determine the administrative rules and requirements in respect of policy split from time to time.

The Principal Amount for the Plan shall not be affected by any distributed Wealth Succession Bonus. Wealth Succession Bonus is not applicable when the Contingent Life Insured becomes the new Life Insured upon the death of the Life Insured.

All policy values under the Designated Policy(ies), including the Guaranteed Cash Value, Annual Dividend (if any), Terminal Dividend (if any), premium (if any) and Total Premiums Paid shall also be adjusted in accordance to the designated portion as specified by the Policyowner. The adjustment of Principal Amount and policy values in the Designated Policy(ies) after exercising the designation of Contingent Life Insured option will become the basis for the calculation of Death Benefit, Maturity Benefit, Wealth Succession Bonus (if any) and Incapacity Benefit (if any) in the Designated Policy(ies). The maximum amount payable for Wealth Succession Bonus in the Designated Policy(ies) will be adjusted accordingly in accordance to the designated portion as specified by the Policyowner.

  • Basic Plan

Risk

Exchange Rate Risk

You are subject to exchange rate risks for the Policy denominated in currencies other than the local currency. Exchange rates fluctuate from time to time. You may suffer a loss of your benefit values and the subsequent premium payments (if any) may be higher than your initial premium payment as a result of exchange rate fluctuations.

Currency Risk

RMB is currently not freely convertible and conversion of RMB through banks in Hong Kong is subject to the rules, guidelines, regulations and conditions from the banks and/or Relevant Authorities from time to time. The actual conversion arrangement will depend on the restrictions prevailing at the relevant time.

Risk from Exercising Change of Policy Currency Option

In case the policy currency is changed under the Change of Policy Currency Option, the adjustments on policy value may be significant (either higher or lower) and the amount of policy value after exercising the Change of Policy Currency Option may be considerably less than the total amount of premiums paid. Any future premiums will be adjusted if the Change of Policy Currency Option is exercised within the Premium Payment Term. The approval of application of Change of Policy Currency Option and the availability of currency at the time of exercising the Change of Policy Currency Option will be subject to the prevailing laws and regulations. Hong Kong Life reserves the right not to accept any application of change of policy currency and has the absolute discretion to determine the administrative rules and requirements in respect of change of policy currency from time to time. Hong Kong Life reserves the right to suspend and/or terminate the offering of Change of Policy Currency Option from time to time.

Please note that the Basic Plan under the New Policy after change of policy currency may or may not be the same as the Basic Plan under the Policy, subject to the eligible Basic Plan offered by Hong Kong Life at its discretion from time to time. Plan features, benefits and policy terms of the Basic Plan under the New Policy may be different from the Basic Plan of the Policy. You shall not purchase this product solely for the Change of Policy Currency Option. Please carefully evaluate the difference between the Basic Plan under the Policy and the latest basic plan available for exchange when you exercise the Change of Policy Currency Option and consider whether the latest basic plan suits your needs.

Liquidity Risk / Long Term Commitment

The Plan is designed to be held until the Maturity / Expiry Date. If you partially surrender or terminate the Policy prior to the Maturity / Expiry Date, a loss of the premium paid may be resulted.

The premium of the Plan should be paid in full for the whole payment term. If you discontinue the payment, the Policy may lapse and a loss of the premium paid may be resulted.

Credit Risk of Issuer

The life insurance product is issued and underwritten by Hong Kong Life. The premium to be paid by you would become part of the assets of Hong Kong Life and that you and your Policy are subject to the credit risk of Hong Kong Life. In the worst case, you may lose all the premium paid and benefit amount.

Market Risk

The amount of dividends (if any) of the Plan depends principally on the factors including investment returns, claim payments, policy persistency rates, operation expenses and tax; while the annual interest accumulation rate principally depends on the factors including investment performance and market conditions. Hence the amount of dividends (if any) and annual interest accumulation rate are not guaranteed and may be changed over time. The actual dividends payable and annual interest accumulation rate may be higher or lower than the expected amount and value at the time when the Policy was issued.

Inflation Risk

When reviewing the values shown in the Insurance Proposal, please note that the cost of living in the future is likely to be higher than it is today due to inflation.

Important Policy Provisions

Suicide

If the Initial Life Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within one (1) year from the Issue Date or date of any reinstatement, whichever is later, the liability of Hong Kong Life shall be limited to a refund of paid premiums to the Beneficiary without interest less any existing Indebtedness. In the case of reinstatement, such refund of premium shall be calculated from the date of reinstatement.

Upon the change of the Life Insured(s), if the New Life Insured commit suicide, while sane or insane, within one (1) year from the date of endorsement or date of any reinstatement, whichever is the later, the liability of Hong Kong Life shall be limited to (i)(a) a refund of the Total Premiums Paid for the Plan (without interest) or (i)(b) the Guaranteed Cash Value and Terminal Dividend (if any), whichever is greater, plus (ii) Accumulated Dividends and Interest (if any), less (iv) Indebtedness (if any).

Incontestability

The validity of the Policy shall not be contestable except for (i) the non-payment of premiums, (ii) fraud or (iii) misstatement of age and/or sex as specified in the Misstatement of Age and/or Sex provisions, after it has been in force during the lifetime of the Initial Life Insured for two (2) years from the Issue Date or the date of any reinstatement, whichever is later. Premiums paid will not be refunded should the Policy be voided by Hong Kong Life.

Upon the change of the Life Insured, Hong Kong Life shall not contest the validity of the Policy after the change has been in force during the lifetime of the New Life Insured for two (2) years from the date of endorsement or date of any reinstatement, whichever is the latest, except for (i) the non-payment of premiums, (ii) fraud or (iii) misstatement of age and/or sex as specified in the Misstatement of Age and/or Sex provisions. Premiums paid will not be refunded should the Policy be voided by Hong Kong Life.

Automatic Termination

The Plan shall terminate automatically:

  1. upon the death of the Life Insured (provided that there is no named and surviving Contingent Life Insured who will become the new Life Insured pursuant to the "Designation of Contingent Life Insured" clause of the Plan); or
  2. if and when the Principal Amount of the Plan is allocated to Designated Policy(ies) pursuant to the "Designation of Contingent Life Insured" clause of the Plan; or
  3. if and when the Plan matures or is fully surrendered (including the full surrender triggered for the payment of Incapacity Benefit as specified in the Incapacity Benefit clause); or
  4. (applicable to 2-year Premium Payment Term) if and when a premium remains unpaid at the end of the Grace Period as specified in the General Provisions of the Policy; or
  5. (applicable to 5/10-year Premium Payment Term) if and when a premium remains unpaid at the end of the Grace Period as specified in the General Provisions of the Policy unless Automatic Premium Loan applies; or
  6. if and when the Indebtedness of the Policy equals to or exceeds the Guaranteed Cash Value; or
  7. (applicable to 5/10-year Premium Payment Term) if and when the Guaranteed Cash Value less Indebtedness (if any) is less than the premium required to maintain the Policy up to the next premium due date as specified in the Automatic Premium Loan clause; or
  8. upon the Change of Policy Currency as specified in Change of Policy Currency Option clause.

Others

Insurance Costs

The Plan is an insurance plan with a savings element. Part of the premium pays for the insurance and related costs (if any).

Potential Fees and Charges

If the premium refund or the payout benefits is not in HKD, USD or RMB, the refund or the payout may only be made in the form of a telegraphic transfer and relevant fees and charges may apply. Such fees and charges will be deducted from the premium refund or the payout benefits by the sending bank and receiving bank. The amount of fees and charges will vary depending on the sending bank and receiving bank designated by the customer. For details of the fees and charges, you should refer to Hong Kong Life and the designated receiving bank.

Cooling-off Period

If you are not satisfied with your Policy, you have a right to cancel it within the cooling-off period and obtain a refund of any premium(s) and levy(ies) paid (in the original payment currency) to Hong Kong Life without any interest. A written notice signed by you should be received directly by Hong Kong Life Insurance Limited at 15/F Cosco Tower, 183 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong within the cooling-off period (that is, the period of 21 calendar days immediately following either the day of delivery of the Policy or the Cooling-off Notice to you or your nominated representative (whichever is the earlier)). After the expiration of the cooling-off period, if you cancel the Policy before the end of the term, the projected Total Surrender Value (if applicable) may be less than the Total Premiums Paid.

Dividends

Hong Kong Life determines the amount of divisible surplus that will be distributed in the form of dividends. Dividends will be determined and distributed according to the Policy's terms and conditions and in compliance with the relevant legislative and regulatory requirements as well as relevant actuarial standards, whereas Terminal Dividend is available for certain types of policies and payable at the termination of the policies.

The amount of divisible surplus depends principally on the factors including investment returns, claim payments, policy persistency rates, operation expenses and tax. Hence the amount of dividends is not guaranteed and may be changed over time. The actual dividends payable may be higher or lower than the expected amount at the time when the policies were issued. The withdrawal of dividends will decrease the Total Surrender Value and Total Death Benefit of the Policy.

Partial Surrender

In case of Partial Surrender, the Guaranteed Cash Value and Terminal Dividend of the Policy will be decreased accordingly. This will also decrease the Principal Amount, Total Surrender Value, Total Death Benefit, Annual Dividend, premium, Total Premiums Paid and other benefits (if applicable) of the Policy.

Policy Loan

After the Plan has acquired a Guaranteed Cash Value and while the Policy is in force, the Policyowner may, upon the sole security and satisfactory assignment of the Policy to Hong Kong Life, apply for a Policy Loan from the Plan. Any loan on the Policy shall bear interest at a rate declared by Hong Kong Life from time to time. Interest on the loan shall accrue and compound daily from the date of loan. The Policy Loan Interest Rate is not guaranteed and will be changed from time to time. The loan and the interest accrued thereon shall constitute Indebtedness against the Policy. Interest shall be due on each Policy Anniversary subsequent to the date of loan. In the event that the Indebtedness of the Policy equals to or exceeds the Guaranteed Cash Value, the Policy will terminate. Any Policy Loan and accrued loan interest may reduce the Total Surrender Value and Total Death Benefit of the Policy.

Non-Protected Deposit

The Plan is not equivalent to, nor should it be treated as a substitute for, time deposit. The Plan is not a protected deposit and is not protected by the Deposit Protection Scheme in Hong Kong.

Dispute on Selling Process and Product

Chong Hing Bank Limited, CMB Wing Lung Bank Limited, OCBC Bank (Hong Kong) Limited and Shanghai Commercial Bank Limited (collectively "Appointed Licensed Insurance Agencies" and each individually "Appointed Licensed Insurance Agency") are the Appointed Licensed Insurance Agencies of Hong Kong Life, and the life insurance product is a product of Hong Kong Life but not the Appointed Licensed Insurance Agencies. In respect of an eligible dispute (as defined in the Terms of Reference for the Financial Dispute Resolution Centre in relation to the Financial Dispute Resolution Scheme) arising between the Appointed Licensed Insurance Agency and the customer out of the selling process or processing of the related transaction, Appointed Licensed Insurance Agency is required to enter into a Financial Dispute Resolution Scheme process with the customer; however any dispute over the contractual terms of the life insurance product should be resolved between Hong Kong Life and the customer directly.
