Insurance.
(1) The
amount, if any, included for automobile insurance, shall not exceed the
premiums chargeable in accordance with rate filings made by the insurer with
the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services for such
insurance.
(2) The amount,
if any, included for life, health and accident or other insurance, other than
automobile insurance, shall not exceed the premiums charged by the insurer.
(3) Except as
provided in ORS 743.377, the motor vehicle dealer or financing agency, if an
amount for automobile or other insurance on the motor vehicle is included in a
retail installment contract, shall within 30 days after execution of the retail
installment contract send or cause to be sent to the buyer a policy or policies
or certificate of insurance, written by an insurance company authorized to do
business in this state, clearly setting forth the amount of the premium, the
kind or kinds of insurance and the scope of the coverage and all the terms,
exceptions, limitations, restrictions and conditions of the contract or
contracts of insurance. The buyer of a motor vehicle under a retail installment
contract shall have the privilege of purchasing such insurance from an
insurance producer of the selection of the buyer and of selecting an insurance
company acceptable to the motor vehicle dealer; provided, however, that the
inclusion of the insurance premium in the retail installment contract when the
buyer selects the insurance producer or company, shall be optional with the
motor vehicle dealer and in such case the motor vehicle dealer or financing
agency shall have no obligation to send, or cause to be sent, to the buyer the
policy or certificate of insurance.
(4) If an
insurance policy or certificate that was obtained for an amount included in the
retail installment contract is canceled, the unearned insurance premium refund
received by the holder of the contract shall be credited to the last maturing
installments of the retail installment contract except to the extent applied
toward payment for similar insurance protecting the interests of the buyer or
of the buyer and the holder of the contract. [1957 c.625 §6; 1967 c.359 §677;
