Statute Text
Cancellation.
(1)
A fire insurance policy shall contain a provision as follows: This policy
shall be canceled at any time at the request of the insured, in which case this
company shall, upon demand and surrender of this policy, refund the excess of
paid premium above the customary short rates for the expired time.
(2) The policy
also shall provide:
(a) That the
insurer may cancel the policy at any time by giving 10 days written notice of
cancellation to the insured in the event of nonpayment of premium or 30 days
written notice for any other reason. However, when fire insurance coverage is
part of a package policy including commercial liability insurance, cancellation
of the policy is governed by the provisions of ORS 742.702.
(b) That
cancellation by the insurer may be made with or without tender of the excess of
paid premium above the pro rata premium for the expired time, and that the
excess, if not tendered with the cancellation, will be refunded on demand.
(3) When an
insurer gives notice of cancellation, the notice shall state that the excess of
paid premium above the pro rata premium for the expired time, if not tendered
with the notice, will be refunded on demand. [Formerly 743.636; 1991 c.768 §2]
