Some notes on what we allow on our comment forums

All comments on MiWayLife’s website appear as they are loaded by you, the public. It is our policy to post ALL comments unless they do not comply with our guidelines below:

  • MiWayLife welcomes all comments – both negative and positive – from anyone, regardless of whether you are a client or not.
  • The MiWayLife comments page is intended for open, transparent conversations in which people discuss and share ideas, notify MiWayLife of any issues, compliment us and of course ask questions.
  • We are committed to maintaining a non-toxic atmosphere. Therefore we do not allow profanity, hate speech, nor do we allow speech that advocates or supports hatred, unlawful activities or violence. Likewise, threats of violence or threats to anyone or any group’s personal safety are not acceptable. We also do not allow false claims or misleading implications that any individual or group perpetuates hate or violence.

  • In order to preserve a functional and civil conversation, we do not allow trolls or trollish behaviour - in other words, speech that is solely intended to provoke other users, to cause disorder or confusion, or to inhibit regular, on-topic conversation, or stalking.
  • We do not allow speech that is solely intended to provoke other users, to cause disorder or confusion or to inhibit regular, on-topic conversation.

Premiums paid in terms of the policy will also be forfeited. MiWayLife reserves the right to take further legal action as appropriate.
  • Should we reject a claim and the claimant wishes to challenge the decision via legal proceedings, the legal proceedings must be instituted within 6 months after the date on which notice of rejection was received. Failure to institute legal proceedings within the time period will result in a loss of all right to benefits which the claimant may have had against us.

  • Where the cover amount of an accelerated benefit exceeds the reduced cover amount of the death benefit (due to one or more accelerated benefit pay out/s), we will reduce the cover amount of the accelerated benefit to an amount equal to the reduced cover amount of the primary benefit (death). As follows, we will reduce the monthly premium to reflect any reduction in the cover amount.
  • The policy ends on payment of the full cover amount for the main life or should you decide to cancel the policy.
  • If the policy does not meet your expectations or if there are any changes to the information supplied, please inform us immediately by telephone or in writing to ensure that your cover remains valid and future claims are not affected.

We therefore only disclose, process and share information in the normal course of business; such as claims, relevant underwriting information and medical history with relevant parties, including a central life insurance register.
  • Due to the nature of an insurance agreement we may require access to your medical and other information during the claims process. Such information will be requested from third parties who hold such information.
  • As a division of Sanlam Life Insurance Ltd. MiWayLife holds appropriate professional indemnity cover.
  • Some MiWayLife call centre consultants may be operating under supervision.
  • The law of South Africa will apply to MiWayLife’s products, services and contracts.
