General Provisions
Notice
This policy provides benefits when the Policyholder’s Benefit Plan incurs expenses in excess of the individual and/or aggregate limits as outlined in this policy. Since this policy insures the
Policyholder and not the individuals covered by the Policyholder’s Benefit Plan, this policy neither adds to nor subtracts from the terms of the underlying Benefit Plan. Additionally, this policy does not in any way affect the Policyholder’s responsibility to comply with employment laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and other applicable state and federal laws.
Parties to the Policy and Responsibility for Claims for Benefits by Covered Persons
The parties to the policy are the Policyholder and Cigna. There are no third party beneficiaries and this policy does not create any rights or legal relation whatsoever between Cigna and a
Covered Person under the Policyholder's Benefit Plan. Cigna's sole liability under this policy is to the Policyholder.
The Policyholder shall retain the exclusive obligation for any action, brought for benefits under the Policyholder's Benefit Plan however denominated, including any action purporting to be brought with respect to this policy. Policyholder agrees to assume the tender of any such action and to reimburse Cigna for reasonable costs, costs of whatever kind (including court costs and attorney fees) which Cigna may incur to protect its and Policyholder’s rights until Policyholder accepts tender. Provided that nothing herein shall alter Cigna's obligations contained in the parties’ administrative services agreement, if any.

Clerical Error
A clerical error is defined as a mistake made in the policy that changes its meaning from what the parties originally intended, such as a typographical error or the unintentional addition or omission of a word, phrase or figure.
Upon learning of a clerical error in this policy, the policy will be revised and reissued by Cigna to the extent allowable based on available regulatory approved policy language to correct the error and if premium or reimbursement is impacted, an adjustment will be made accordingly. A clerical error will not invalidate coverage otherwise validly in force or continue otherwise terminated coverage.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Policyholder may assign this policy, including all of its rights and obligations hereunder, to its affiliates or an entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Policyholder, subject to notice and written consent by Cigna of the assignment.
