Tips on point form II

0Hi,02br
02br
00As far as I know, the style of a particular writing in point form is very important -- that is how it is presented on the paper. Can you tell me if No. 3 and No. 2 (in each example respectively) fits well with others?02br
02br
01i00It shall not be cancelled except for the following reasons:02i02br
02br
01i001. Nonpayment of premium.02i02br
02br
01i002. Discovery of willful or grossly negligent act(s)02i02br
02br
01i003. Determination that continuation would violate the laws of the state.02i02br
02br
00I feel that the word 'determination' is countable, whereas two others are either non-count or variable in nature, and that would create an impression of incongruity to some people. 02br
02br
01i00Our members receive the following privileges:02i02br
02br
01i001. Invitations to various events02i02br
02br
01i002. Guranteed Subscription to our magazine02i02br
02br
01i003. Free Access to our various facilities02i02br
02br
00Again, No. 2 seems to stand out as a countable noun and create a not-so-congruous impression.0-

0Thank you. Let us go off-tangent for a moment, if you don't mind.02br
02br
00Would you say the following two will be acceptable with only obvious difference being that the first one is using the word 'discovery' to mean it in a general sense without pointing to any specific discovery made and the second one is alluding to a discovery?02br
