Key legal question
Whether the insurer remained liable for daily allowances after the insured reached AHV age under the policy terms and AVB.
Extracted holding
No. Under Art. 1.1 and Art. 3.5 AVB, reaching AHV age ended insured status and thus the insurer's duty to pay, absent a contrary contractual arrangement.
Extracted reasoning
The court construed the AVB by trust principle and systemically: Art. 1.1 made insured status conditional on not yet having reached AHV age; Art. 3.5 then linked loss of insured status to extinction of the full payment obligation. The exception clause in Art. 3.5 no. 3 preserved coverage only if the contract provided otherwise, which it did not.
