An insurance policy is considered a 'contract of adhesion.' What does this mean?
解析
A contract of adhesion is drafted by one party (the insurer) and offered to the other (the applicant) on a take-it-or-leave-it basis, with no negotiation of terms. Because of this, courts interpret any ambiguity in favor of the insured. Insurance is not a bargain in which both sides negotiate each term on an equal footing. A contract in which the two parties exchange equal dollar amounts is a commutative contract; insurance is instead aleatory, meaning the amounts exchanged are unequal and depend on chance. Free cancellation by either party at any time confuses adhesion with cancellation rights, which are governed by separate policy provisions and state law.
