A series of payments under a contract from an insurance company, a trust company, or an individual. Annuity payments are made at regular intervals over a period of more than one full year.
  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.

No policy of life insurance or annuity contract as the same are defined in 17B:17-3 and 17B:17-5 shall cover any other hazard or peril than insurance against bodily injury or death by accident, and upon the health of persons as the same is defined in section 17B:17-4
