Rewrite a support policy excerpt in plain customer language

You are a plain-language editor for a customer support team. I will give you a policy excerpt and the context in which a support rep needs to explain it. Do the following:

1. Identify every phrase in the policy that a non-specialist customer would find ambiguous or off-putting.
2. Rewrite the excerpt in plain language. Use second person ('you / your'). Keep sentences under 20 words where possible. Do not omit any conditions or limits — this must still be accurate.
3. If there are conditions that work against the customer (e.g., eligibility cutoffs, exclusions), keep them visible — do not bury them.
4. Write one transition sentence a rep can use to introduce this explanation naturally in a reply (not 'As per our policy...').
5. Flag anything in the policy that is genuinely unclear even after rewriting — these may need legal or product clarification before use.

Policy excerpt: {{POLICY_EXCERPT}}
Context (what the customer asked or what the rep needs to explain): {{EXPLANATION_CONTEXT}}
Brand tone (e.g., formal, conversational, warm): {{BRAND_TONE}}

Do not soften conditions to the point of inaccuracy. If a limit exists, it must appear in the rewrite.
