Term Insurance
Term life insurance does not build a cash value. It simply covers the insured person for a certain term or period of time.
Of the various types of life insurance that exist, "term" life insurance is not permanent. This is because it remains in force only as long as premiums are paid. In contrast, "whole life insurance" is frequently also referred to as "permanent insurance" That is because it accumulates cash value, which is sort of a saving account built into the policy. Therefore, once cash value reached a certain amount, in theory, no further premiums have to be paid because the policy can be maintained based upon the cash value.
Pure term life insurance. In this kind of policy, there is no cash value of the policy for the insured. The policy holder gets no tangible or monetary benefits as long as he/she is alive. Only the survivors of the insured can reap the benefits of this kind of policy. So, we can say that this type of policy has no cash value for the insured individual.
It is a type of whole life insurance that does not reduce the dividend payable under the policy even if there is a loan of cash value outstanding.
What do you mean "Sell" the life insurance policy? Once it is back in force and you are the owner, you can cash it in at any time if there is in fact a cash value. I guess you would have to better define what you mean by selling it.
Yes, if your life insurance policy has accumulated cash value. Not all life insurance policies will accumulate cash value: for example, term life insurance policies will not accumulate any cash value. Whole Life and Universal life policies can accumulate cash value and the policy owner can take loans in the limit of the cash value (some companies limit loans to 70 - 80% of the cash value).

Term insurance may or may not have cash value at some point. It has no value when it expires. For example, If a person bought term insurance at 30 which would expire at 70, it could have some cash value when that person was between the ages of 40 and 60. Term life starts losing cash value when people start dying. It becomes worthless when it expires. If you want to use your term life insurance policy, you will need to die before it expires.
Cash value of whole life insurance is referred to as the "Cash Surrender Value". The cash surrender value is money the policyholder is supposed to receive from the insurance company when surrendering the whole life insurance policy with cash value. The cash surrender value amount due is the sum of the cash value stated in the whole life insurance policy minus any surrender charge and any outstanding loans and interest due on the loans.
Not all insurance policies have cash value. Term life has no cash value. Whole life does have cash value. You will have to talk to your insurance company and tell them what you want. If you have a whole life policy with cash value, then withdrawing that cash is essentially like taking money out of a bank account; very simple.
The cash value of something is the value before taxes. Net or Netto cash value is after taxes.

Cash value insurance can be "whole life insurance" or "universal life insurance". There are few differences on how the funds are invested and if dividends can be paid that would increase the cash value, but both types of permanent life insurance can accumulate cash value. There is also a type of term insurance that has a "return of premium" feature that will return all premiums back at the end of the term. This type of term life policy is not actually accumulating cash value because you only get back the premiums you paid.
