If you are not completely satisfied with your OnGuard enrollment, you may cancel at any time by giving HLMT a written notice. Once cancelled, all future monthly charges will be stopped.

However, since contributions are paid on a monthly basis, any refund of paid contribution is not allowed. Where cancellation is notified after the monthly contribution payment has been deducted for the month, the coverage will be extended till the end of the period. You still have the option for a refund, instead of extended coverage, but you would be required to submit a refund request in person and directly to HLMT.
