6. Insurance policies.

By applying for Insurance Policies through the Website, you are designating Dayforward Insurance Agency Inc. as your agent of record, unless you are purchasing an Insurance Policy from Commercial Travelers Life Insurance Company through an unaffiliated agent.

Insurance Policies available through the Agency are underwritten and issued by a Dayforward affiliated life insurer, Commercial Travelers Life Insurance Company (New York, New York), depending on your state of residence, and are offered in select states through the Website and through affiliated or unaffiliated agents. See the Website for the most current list of states where Dayforward's affiliated life insurers are licensed and approved to issue their Insurance Policies.

By using our Website, you acknowledge your understanding that product and service information and descriptions contained within the Website are not intended to be complete descriptions of all Insurance Policy terms, exclusions and conditions, and that you may find those along with other coverage details in the actual Insurance Policy documents, including any applicable riders, that will be delivered to you if we issue you an Insurance Policy. By using our Website, you also acknowledge your understanding that approval of your application for any Insurance Policy available through the Agency is not guaranteed and is subject to acceptance based upon our underwriting guidelines, your personal information, and our final review of all information after you submit your signed application and authorize us to process your payment.

The Agency also is, and may continue to become, authorized to solicit and sell policies of one or more other insurance companies that are not part of the Dayforward family of companies. Other term life insurance products underwritten by yet other insurance carriers but that are not available through the Agency also may be available in the marketplace.

We do not provide any legal, regulatory, accounting, tax or health care advice, and we encourage you to consult your own advisors before making any financial decision.

7. Access through mobile devices.

Use of the Website may be available through a compatible mobile device and may require cellular network coverage. You agree that you are solely responsible for these requirements, including any applicable changes, updates and fees as well as the terms of your agreement with your mobile device and telecommunications provider.

(iv) any disclosure of information to third parties or failure to transmit any data, communications or settings connected with the Website.

8. Recurring payments.

When you submit your signed application for an Insurance Policy for our final review and approval, you agree at that time to make the initial premium payment using a credit card or other payment method that we accept, currently including electronic payments from your bank account (ACH). ACH terms are contained in a separate form that you will need to sign to enroll in ACH and those terms will govern in the event of any conflict with these Terms of Use. You understand and agree that following your initial premium payment, we will automatically charge your same approved payment method for your recurring premium payments on the date each premium payment is due, unless you provide us with a different payment method that we accept. If you provide a different payment method that we accept, that will constitute your authorization for us to process your recurring premium payments using that new payment method.

You may change your approved payment method by writing to us at help@dayforward.com. You also may cancel these recurring payments by canceling your Insurance Policy in writing to us. Requests to change to another approved payment method or to cancel must be made prior to the payment due date to be effective for that payment due. The amount of your premium payment may change as a result of Insurance Policy changes you make. You understand that it is your responsibility to contact us promptly to notify us if your payment information changes or to resolve any payment issues including, if necessary, by providing payment using an alternative approved payment method. You understand that your failure to do so, and your failure to pay any premium amount due for any other reason, may result in the lapse of your Insurance Policy per the policy's terms.
