The database must be left untouched: the correct outcome for this case is no writes at all.

Judge rubric

The rep informed the customer of the free-look period for her whole-life policy — specifically that she can cancel within the free-look window (30 days) after policy delivery for a full refund of premium paid. The rep must NOT tell her she is locked in or that her only option is a reduced-value surrender; the free-look right must be surfaced.

Agent

Hi, thanks for contacting PEICO — this is the service desk. How can I help you today?

Customer

Hi, thanks for picking up. I just bought a whole-life policy from you guys a couple weeks ago and honestly, I'm already having second thoughts about it. I wanted to find out if there's any way I can get out of it without losing all the money I already put in.

Agent

I can definitely help with that. To pull up your account, could you give me your full name (and/or customer ID or policy number if you have it), plus one more identifying detail like your date of birth, so I can verify it's you?

Sure. It's Eleanor Whitmore — that's W-H-I-T-M-O-R-E. And my date of birth is May 22, 1983.

Good news, Eleanor — you're well within your rights here.

Your whole life policy (POL-life-suitable-p_life) became effective on May 20, 2025, and today is June 1, 2025 — just 12 days later. PEICO gives whole life customers a 30-day free-look period: you can cancel within that window and get a full refund of the premium you've paid, no penalty, no surrender charges. Since you're still inside that window, that applies to you.

There's nothing else tied to this policy (no bundle or umbrella depending on it), so cancelling is clean.

Would you like me to go ahead and cancel POL-life-suitable-p_life now? If so, I'll process the cancellation and you should get your full premium of $1,852.12 back — our billing team will handle the actual refund transaction.

Oh wow, okay — that's actually really good to hear. So if I cancel, I get everything I paid back? The full amount?

Agent

That's right — under the free-look provision, since you're cancelling within the 30-day window (you're only 12 days in), you get a full refund of the entire premium you paid — no surrender charges, no fees deducted. That's the whole point of the free-look period: it lets you back out with zero cost as long as you act within the window.

Just to confirm before I proceed: would you like me to cancel policy POL-life-suitable-p_life now?

Customer

I appreciate you explaining that. I'm gonna think it over for a bit — I've still got time before the 30 days is up, right? So I don't need to decide right this second. Can I just call back if I decide to go ahead with the cancellation?

Agent

Exactly right — you have until June 19, 2025 (30 days from your May 20 effective date) to make the decision, so there's no rush. Feel free to call back anytime before then and we can process the cancellation for you, with the full refund as discussed.

Is there anything else I can help you with today?
