regarding the performance of services, if any, by or on behalf of the insurer,
including but not necessarily limited to the following:

services to be performed by or on behalf of the insurer, and the terms and
conditions of the performance.
(B) The service

limitations regarding the performance of services, including any restrictions
on the time period during which, or geographical area within which, services
may be requested or will be performed.
(D) A statement
that services will be performed upon the insureds telephoned request to the
insurer, without any requirement that a claim form or service application be
filed before service is performed.
(E) A
representation that services will be initiated by or under the direction of the
insurer within 48 hours after request is made for services.
(e) All other
provisions which are required by the Insurance Code or by rules issued by the
Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services.
(2) A home
protection policy shall be noncancelable during the term for which it is
originally written, except for nonpayment of the premium charge for the policy
or for fraud or misrepresentation of facts material to the issuance of the
policy. However, a policy providing coverage while the subject home is being
offered for sale is cancelable in accordance with the policy provisions if no
sale is made. A home protection policy is not renewable unless its terms
provide otherwise.
(3) The director
may adopt rules regarding home protection policies in order to protect the
interests of persons affected by the policy contract. The director may not
adopt rules specifying the home components or related personal property which
must be covered by a home protection policy, except to the extent necessary to:
(a) Obtain
fairness in the exclusions from coverage; or
(b) Avoid
illusory coverage caused by the nature or extent of the exclusions from
coverage. [Formerly 743.690]
