A. No service warranty form or related form shall be issued or used in this state unless the form has been filed with the Insurance Commissioner. Service warranty forms shall not be subject to prior approval and shall be filed with the Insurance Commissioner for informational purposes only.
B. Each service warranty contract shall contain a cancelation provision. In the event the contract is canceled by the warranty holder, return of the provider fee shall be based upon ninety percent (90%) of the unearned pro rata provider fee less the actual cost of any service provided under the service warranty contract. In the event the contract is canceled by the association, return of premium shall be based upon one hundred percent (100%) of unearned pro rata provider fee less the actual cost of any service provided under the service warranty contract.
C. Service warranties shall state the name and address of the service warranty association and shall identify any administrator if different from the service warranty association, the service warranty seller and the service warranty holder to the extent that the name of the service warranty holder has been furnished by the service warranty holder. For service warranties issued on and after July 1, 2017, the identity of the service warranty association and its license number shall be preprinted on the service warranty or added at the time of sale so consumers can clearly identify the obligor of the service warranty. Information to be printed at the
time of sale shall be indicated as such at the time the service warranty is filed and a “Jane Doe” specimen shall accompany the service warranty illustrating how the service warranty will look after printing.
Each person and service warranty association shall electronically submit, in the form and manner prescribed by the Commissioner, any change of legal business name, “doing business as” or assumed name, address, or contact email address within thirty
(30)days after the change occurred, and any fees deemed necessary by the Commissioner. Any submission of a change under this paragraph received more than thirty
(30)days after the change occurs shall be accompanied by a fee of Fifty Dollars ($50.00).
D. The Commissioner shall have the authority to immediately order a service warranty association to stop using any service warranty contract if the Commissioner determines that the form:
1. Violates the Service Warranty Act;
2. Is misleading in any respect; or
3. Is reproduced so that any material provision is substantially illegible.
E. The Insurance Commissioner may, by order, exempt from the requirements of this section for so long as he or she deems proper any document or form or type thereof as specified in such order, to which, in his or her discretion, this section may not practicably be applied, or the filing of which is, in his or her opinion, not desirable or necessary for the protection of the public.
