Reviewer notes

Recorded for the specific provisions above; the full prescribed notice text was not transcribed into this record. The provision worth carrying is the variable branch, because the headline "full refund" is not what a mutual fund funded policy returns. It returns account value on the day of receipt, which can be below what was paid, and the section says so in its own prescribed wording rather than leaving it to an insurer to explain.
