Is it true that life insurance can be described as a contact between an insurance company and the insurance policy holder?
That is definitely correct! The terms of that 'contract' and the obligations on each party will be dependent on the country (and possibly the state), however for term life insurance policies generally the life insured is obligated to pay the premiums for the insured sum and if the life insured has met the application obligations in obtaining the policy, the life insurance company is obligated to pay that sum. In Australia, life insurance contacts between the life insurance company and the life insured is regulated by the Insurance Contracts Act 1984. In the UK, I believe the origins of Life Insurance contracts stem from the Life Assurance Act 1774.

"Insurance and Taxes. No. All proceeds or withdrawals from any insurance policy are not taxable." This is not true. If you cancel a life insurance policy, the growth on the cash value IS TAXABLE.
