Before signing Manually or Electronically (Clicking – I Agree), be careful to download the copy of “Terms and Conditions” as these terms and conditions keep on changing on the Printed Forms and on the Websites.
Have you ever noticed that such Terms and Conditions printed on the Documents are printed in such a way that the same can’t be read by naked eye. Governments all over the world need to amend the laws in such a way that Terms and Conditions be in the form of “Questionnaire” and the Individual be asked to Check – YES or No box on the electronic media and Write – “Yes” in his own handwriting on the Printed Media as Insurance has to be unconditional otherwise the very meaning of insurance will be reduced to no assurance. Rather conditions be put on the insurer to check each and every thing including state of health before issuing health insurance or life insurance and other requirements for example while insuring a house in quake prone area the insurer should satisfy himself about the condition of the construction. After the insurance premium has been collected and Insurance Policy is issued the insurer should not be allowed to seek protection under disclaimer or Terms and Conditions of insurance. If an young person joins the army, air force or become pilot or opts for a hazardous profession after taking the policy then the insurer can not bind the insured to inform the insurer every time about his or her living conditions. If you feel that the Insurance should be unconditional insurance then share our both the articles with your facebook friends, Google+ Circles, Twitter, Linkedin Links so that they are alerted to question the Terms and Conditions of even Google Verified authors like me.
