Key features The Financial Conduct Authority is a financial services regulator. It requires us, Aviva, to give you this important information to help you to decide whether our Over 50 s Life Assurance policy is right for you. You should read this document carefully so that you understand what you are buying, and then keep it safe for future reference. Its aims n To provide a lump sum when you die. Your commitment n To pay regular premiums for a set number of years, or until you die, if earlier. n The number of years you pay premiums for is known as the premium term. You ll either pay premiums for a maximum of 30 years or until the policy anniversary after your 90th birthday, whichever comes first. n To answer the questions on your application correctly to the best of your knowledge. Risks n If you don t pay your premiums during the premium term, your policy and your cover will end 30 days after your last payment was due and you won t get any money back. n If you decide to end your policy, you won t get any money back as the policy has no cash-in value. n The lump sum we pay is fixed, so inflation will reduce what it can buy in the future. You should review your cover to ensure that it remains adequate over time. n Depending on how long you have the policy for, the amount we pay out on your death may be less than the total amount you ve paid in. n If you die in the first year and your death isn t caused by an accident, we won t pay the guaranteed lump sum. Instead, we ll pay an amount equal to the premiums paid.
