Dutch term or phrase: afstandsverklaring
"Middels ondertekening van deze afstandsverklaring doen verzekeringnemers afstand van alle rechten en plichten zoals omschreven op de originele polis."

Explanation:
As is so often the case, Dutch texts are totological.
"Middels ondertekening van deze afstandsverklaring doen verzekeringnemers afstand..."
All you need to say in English is that 'by signing this statement, insured parties waive all their rights and obligation (duties) as described in the original policy'.
