1. General Information Only

The information on this website is provided for general educational and informational purposes only.

Content on this website may discuss life insurance, annuities, retirement planning, protection planning, wealth strategies, tax-advantaged concepts, legacy planning, and related topics. This information is not intended to be a complete explanation of any insurance product, annuity contract, rider, tax strategy, retirement strategy, estate plan, or financial plan.

Your individual needs, goals, financial situation, health, family circumstances, state of residence, risk tolerance, and product eligibility should be considered before making any insurance or annuity decision.

2. No Legal, Tax, Investment, or Financial Planning Advice

River of Life Insurance does not provide legal, tax, accounting, securities, investment advisory, or estate planning advice.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as legal advice, tax advice, investment advice, accounting advice, estate planning advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or investment.

You should consult with qualified professionals, such as an attorney, tax advisor, accountant, estate planning professional, investment adviser, or financial planner, before making decisions involving taxes, investments, legal documents, retirement income, estate planning, or financial strategies.

3. Insurance Products Are Subject to Carrier Approval

Life insurance and annuity products are issued by insurance carriers and are subject to the terms, conditions, limitations, exclusions, underwriting requirements, and approval processes of the issuing carrier.

Submitting information through this website does not guarantee:

  • Coverage approval

  • A specific premium

  • A specific rate

  • A specific product

  • A specific underwriting classification

  • A specific death benefit

  • A specific cash value result

  • A specific retirement income result

  • A specific tax result

  • Acceptance by any carrier

All applications are subject to carrier underwriting, product availability, state availability, suitability requirements, and applicable laws.

4. Licensed Insurance Services

Insurance products and services are offered only where permitted by law and only by properly licensed and appointed agents, agencies, or representatives.

River of Life Insurance may provide information and services through licensed insurance agents or representatives. Product availability and licensing authority may vary by state.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as an offer to sell, solicit, or recommend an insurance or annuity product in any jurisdiction where such offer, solicitation, or recommendation would be unlawful.

5. Product Availability Varies

Life insurance and annuity products may not be available in every state or to every applicant.

Product features, benefits, riders, guarantees, rates, caps, participation rates, spreads, fees, surrender periods, premium requirements, underwriting requirements, and eligibility rules vary by carrier, product, state, age, health, financial situation, and other factors.

You should carefully review all carrier-provided materials, policy documents, contracts, illustrations, disclosures, and applications before making a decision.

6. Life Insurance Disclosures

Life insurance products may include term life insurance, whole life insurance, universal life insurance, indexed universal life insurance, final expense insurance, and other product types.

Life insurance policies may be subject to:

  • Underwriting approval

  • Premium requirements

  • Policy fees and expenses

  • Lapse risk

  • Exclusions and limitations

  • Contestability periods

  • Rider limitations

  • Loan and withdrawal rules

  • Tax consequences

  • State-specific rules and product availability

Permanent life insurance policies may build cash value depending on product type, funding, expenses, interest crediting, policy charges, withdrawals, loans, and other factors.

Policy loans and withdrawals may reduce cash value, reduce the death benefit, increase lapse risk, or create tax consequences. A policy that lapses or is surrendered with an outstanding loan may result in taxable income.

7. Indexed Universal Life Insurance Disclosures

Indexed Universal Life insurance, often called IUL, is a type of permanent life insurance that may provide death benefit protection and cash value accumulation potential based in part on index-linked crediting strategies.

IUL policies are not direct investments in the stock market or any index. You are not buying shares of an index, mutual fund, or security through an IUL policy.

IUL policies may include:

  • Caps

  • Participation rates

  • Floors

  • Spreads

  • Policy charges

  • Cost of insurance charges

  • Premium requirements

  • Loan provisions

  • Surrender charges

  • Changing crediting rates

  • Non-guaranteed elements

  • Risk of lapse if not properly funded or managed

Any illustrated values are hypothetical and are not guaranteed unless specifically stated in the carrier illustration or policy contract.

IUL may not be appropriate for every person. It should be reviewed in the context of your protection needs, budget, long-term goals, risk tolerance, tax situation, and ability to maintain the policy over time.

8. Whole Life and Cash Value Disclosures

Whole life insurance is a form of permanent life insurance that may provide lifetime coverage, guaranteed cash value, and potential dividends depending on the carrier and policy type.

Dividends, if applicable, are not guaranteed. Cash value growth, policy performance, and long-term benefits depend on the specific policy, premiums paid, carrier performance, policy expenses, loans, withdrawals, and other factors.

Whole life insurance may not be appropriate for every person or every budget.

9. Term Life Insurance Disclosures

Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period, such as 10, 20, or 30 years, depending on the policy.

Term life insurance generally does not build cash value. Coverage may expire at the end of the term unless renewed, converted, or replaced according to the policy provisions.

Renewal premiums may be significantly higher. Conversion options, if available, are subject to the policy terms and carrier rules.

10. Final Expense Insurance Disclosures

Final expense insurance is generally intended to help cover funeral costs, burial expenses, medical bills, debt, or other end-of-life expenses.

Coverage amounts, underwriting requirements, waiting periods, graded death benefits, exclusions, and pricing vary by carrier and product.

Some final expense policies may include limited benefits during an initial waiting period. You should review the policy terms carefully before purchasing.

11. Living Benefits and Rider Disclosures

Some policies may offer optional or included riders, including living benefits, accelerated death benefit riders, chronic illness riders, critical illness riders, terminal illness riders, waiver of premium riders, or other features.

Riders may vary by carrier, state, and product. Some riders may require additional cost. Benefits may be subject to eligibility requirements, medical certification, waiting periods, exclusions, limitations, reduction of death benefit, administrative fees, and carrier approval.

Living benefits are not a replacement for health insurance, disability insurance, or long-term care insurance unless specifically stated in the policy contract.

12. Annuity Disclosures

Annuities are long-term insurance products issued by insurance carriers. They may be designed for retirement income, accumulation, principal protection, tax deferral, legacy planning, or other purposes depending on the contract.

Annuities may include:

  • Surrender charges

  • Withdrawal limits

  • Market value adjustments

  • Rider fees

  • Administrative fees

  • Tax consequences

  • Required minimum distribution considerations

  • Income rider rules

  • Annuitization options

  • Beneficiary provisions

  • State and carrier-specific restrictions

Early withdrawals may be subject to surrender charges, income taxes, and possible IRS penalties if taken before age 59½.

Annuities are not appropriate for every person. Suitability and best-interest considerations should be reviewed before purchase. The NAIC notes that annuity sales standards are designed so consumers understand the products they purchase, are made aware of material conflicts of interest, and are protected from recommendations that place the producer’s financial interest ahead of the consumer’s interest.

13. Fixed and Indexed Annuity Disclosures

Fixed annuities may provide a guaranteed interest rate for a specified period, subject to the terms of the contract.

Fixed indexed annuities may provide interest crediting linked to an external index, subject to caps, participation rates, spreads, floors, and contract rules. Fixed indexed annuities are not direct investments in the stock market or any index.

Principal protection features apply according to the specific contract terms and are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing carrier.

14. Variable Product Disclosure

River of Life Insurance does not provide securities or investment advisory services through this website unless specifically stated in writing.

Variable life insurance and variable annuities are securities products and may involve market risk, investment subaccounts, prospectuses, fees, and licensing requirements. This website should not be interpreted as offering variable products unless expressly disclosed by a properly licensed representative.

15. Retirement Income Disclosures

Any retirement income strategy discussed on this website is for educational purposes only.

Retirement income planning may involve many factors, including income needs, inflation, taxes, market risk, longevity risk, healthcare costs, Social Security, pensions, annuities, insurance, savings, investments, and estate planning.

No strategy can guarantee that your retirement income will meet all future needs unless specifically guaranteed by the issuing carrier under the terms of an insurance or annuity contract.

16. Tax-Advantaged Strategy Disclosures

This website may discuss tax-advantaged concepts involving life insurance, annuities, or retirement income planning.

Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change under future law. River of Life Insurance does not provide tax advice.

You should consult a qualified tax professional before making decisions involving policy loans, withdrawals, annuity distributions, retirement income, estate planning, business planning, or tax-advantaged strategies.

17. Guarantees and Carrier Strength

Any guarantees associated with life insurance or annuity products are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance carrier.

River of Life Insurance does not guarantee the financial strength, claims-paying ability, rates, performance, dividends, interest crediting, or future actions of any insurance carrier.

18. Illustrations, Examples, and Hypotheticals

Any examples, illustrations, projections, charts, calculators, comparisons, or hypothetical scenarios shown on this website or provided after an inquiry are for educational purposes only.

Illustrations may be based on assumptions that may not occur, including interest rates, index performance, caps, participation rates, expenses, policy funding, loan activity, withdrawals, tax assumptions, and carrier rules.

Actual results may be more or less favorable than illustrated. You should review the official carrier illustration and policy contract before making a decision.

19. Replacement Disclosure

Replacing an existing life insurance policy or annuity contract may not be in your best interest.

Replacement can involve:

  • New surrender charges

  • Loss of existing benefits

  • New contestability periods

  • New underwriting requirements

  • Higher premiums

  • Tax consequences

  • Changes in guarantees

  • Loss of riders or favorable provisions

You should carefully compare existing coverage with any proposed replacement and review all required replacement forms, disclosures, and carrier documents before making a decision.

20. Suitability and Best Interest

Insurance and annuity recommendations should be based on your needs, objectives, financial situation, risk tolerance, time horizon, liquidity needs, tax status, existing coverage, and other relevant information.

The California Department of Insurance advises consumers to assess their needs, understand available products, determine what they can afford, and evaluate whether a life insurance or annuity purchase is in their long-term best interest.
