misleading in fact or by implication. The form and content of an advertisement
of a policy shall be sufficiently complete and clear so as to avoid deception.
It shall not have the capacity or tendency to mislead or deceive. Whether an
advertisement has the capacity or tendency to mislead or deceive shall be
determined by the Insurance Commissioner from the overall impression that the
advertisement may be reasonably expected to create upon a person of average
education or intelligence within the segment of the public to which it is
directed.
(b) No advertisement
shall use the terms "investment," "investment plan," "founder's plan," "charter
plan," "expansion plan," "profit," "profits," "profit sharing," "interest
plan," "savings," "savings plan," or other similar terms in connection with a
policy in a context or under such circumstances or conditions as to have the
capacity or tendency to mislead a purchaser of such policy to believe that he
will receive, or that it is possible that he will receive, something other than
a policy or some benefit not available to other persons of the same class and
equal expectation of life.
