The sales people in an insurance company office are called "agents", but they are not actually agents in the legal sense in that they do not have the power to act on behalf of the insurance company. So, nothing they tell you verbally ever legally commits the company to what they say. This is stated in the fine print of the documents you sign. Really, the only thing that matters at all is what it says in the actual written policy document.
