  • (i) 必須、適合及與有關病徵之發現或有關受保疾病的診斷及治療一致；

• 索償通知及證明
  • 受保人必須於保單有效期期間，並在獲悉患上非嚴重疾病或嚴重疾病當日起計九十(90)日內提出索償。除非證明無法合理地在此期間內提出索償，並已在合理的情況下儘早提出索償，否則，中銀人壽無須對逾期作出的非嚴重疾病或嚴重疾病索償（視乎情況而定）負責。在中銀人壽接獲索償通知後六(6)個月內，保單權益人必須呈交索償證明文件，包括所需資料、文件及由中銀人壽接納的醫生簽署的醫療證明及報告，有關支出由保單權益人負責。中銀人壽保留權利就有關非嚴重疾病或嚴重疾病之索償（視乎情況而定），要求受保人進行檢查或其他合理及有關檢驗以確定其存在。
• 不得異議
  • 就保單下之身故賠償，除因欠繳保費或欺詐外，自保單簽發日或恢復生效日（以較後者為準）起計在受保人生存期間持續有效達兩(2)年後，保單之有效性將不得被爭議。
• 年齡及/或性別的錯誤陳述
  • 保單是依據承保表上所載有關受保人的年齡、性別或其他與受保人相關的事實而繕發。除了中銀人壽在被欺詐的情況下擁有之權利外，若受保人的年齡、性別及/或其他與受保人相關的事實被誤報，則保單上須支付的金額及賦予的所有利益，將按照已付的保費與確實受保人的年齡、性別及相關的事實所計算原可購買的利益。若受保人的年齡被報大或性別被誤報而導致多繳保費，中銀人壽將退回多繳付之保費。若中銀人壽知悉受保人的確實年齡、性別及/或其他與受保人相關的事實，而受保人原應不符合受保資格，中銀人壽可行使絕對酌情權終止保單，而中銀人壽的責任僅限於退回已繳保費（不含利息）。
• 欺詐、失實陳述或沒有披露重大事實
  • 保單權益人應盡所知所信，提供完全屬實及真確無訛的陳述及答案。若投保書中（如有），或保單所依據的聲明，或關於影響保單或中銀人壽的風險的任何其他事項，或根據保單作出的任何索償有任何欺詐、失實陳述或沒有披露重大事實的情況，中銀人壽有完全和絕對酌情權使保單無效，而保單之下的任何索償將被取消。除非有欺詐情況，否則在該等情況下保單權益人已繳付的任何保費將被退回給保單權益人。
• 冷靜期內取消保單權益及退還保費及徵費
  • 保單權益人有權以書面通知要求中銀人壽取消保單/投保申請書並獲退還扣除因匯率浮動而造成的任何差額(如適用)後的所有已繳保費及中銀人壽代保險業監管局按相關規定(已)收取的徵費。保單權益人明白為行使這項權利，該取消保單/投保申請書的通知必須由保單權益人簽署，並由中銀人壽位於香港太古城英皇道1111號13樓之總辦事處於冷靜期內直接收到。保單權益人明白冷靜期為緊接保單或冷靜期通知書交付保單權益人或保單權益人的指定代表之日起計的21個曆日的期間(以較先者為準)。保單權益人明白中銀人壽會於冷靜期通知書及電話短訊（如適用）內註明冷靜期的最後一日，若於冷靜期通知書及電話短訊（如適用）內註明之冷靜期的最後一日並非工作日，則冷靜期將包括隨後的工作日的一天在內。保單權益人明白冷靜期通知書是由中銀人壽在交付保單時致予保單權益人或保單權益人的指定代表的一份通知書，以就冷靜期一事通知保單權益人。此外，保單權益人明白若保單權益人曾經就本保單提出索償並獲得賠償，則不會獲退還保費及徵費。
• 取消保單
  • 冷靜期過後，若中銀人壽未曾亦無需就保單支付身故賠償或嚴重疾病賠償（如有），保單權益人可以在三十（30）日前以書面方式連同保單契約正本通知中銀人壽要求取消保單。此權利在首個（及其後的）保單年度的保單續保後仍然適用。
