    No unfortunately there is no cash value built up to "cash out". Term life insurance is essentially "renting" coverage for a specific period of time such as covering a mortgage. The permanent or cash value plans such as whole life or universal life insurance builds cash value through "owning" the insurance plan and can be "cashed out" among a lot of other options.

    Probably your term policy cannot be cashed out.  There are term life policies that do develop a small amount of cash value; however, these policies often have restrictions as to when and how the policy can be surrendered for cash.  If you want cash value in your life insurance program then speak to a licensed life insurance agent about permanent life insurance.
