Florida § 520.154 - Disclosures.

§ 520.154. Disclosures.

(1) A vehicle value protection agreement must disclose in writing, in clear, understandable language, all of the following: (a) The names and addresses of the provider, contract holder, and administrator, if any. (b) The terms of the vehicle value protection agreement, including, but not limited to, the purchase price to be paid by the contract holder, if any; the requirements for eligibility and conditions of coverage; and any exclusions. (c) Whether the vehicle value protection agreement may be canceled by the contract holder during a free-look period as defined in s. 520.152, and that, in the event of cancellation, the contract holder is entitled to a full refund of the purchase price, if any, so long as no benefits have been provided. (d) The procedure the contract holder must follow, if any, to obtain a benefit under the terms and conditions of the vehicle value protection agreement, including, if applicable, a telephone number, website, or mailing address where the contract holder may apply for a benefit. (e) Whether the vehicle value protection agreement is cancelable after the free-look period and the conditions under which it may be canceled, including the procedures for requesting any refund of the unearned purchase price paid by the contract holder. In the event that the agreement is cancelable, it must include the methodology for calculating any refund due of the unearned purchase price of the vehicle value protection agreement. (f) That the extension of credit, the terms of the credit, or the terms of the related motor vehicle sale or lease may not be conditioned upon the purchase of the vehicle value protection agreement. (2) A vehicle value protection agreement must state the terms, restrictions, or conditions governing cancellation of the vehicle value protection agreement before the termination or expiration date of the vehicle value protection agreement by either the provider or the contract holder. The provider of the vehicle value protection agreement shall mail a written notice to the contract holder at the last known address of the contract holder contained in the records of the provider at least 5 days before cancellation by the provider, which notice must state the effective date of the cancellation and the reason for the cancellation. However, such prior notice is not required if the reason for cancellation is nonpayment of the provider fee, a material misrepresentation by the contract holder to the provider or administrator, or a substantial breach of duties by the contract holder relating to the covered motor vehicle or its use. If a vehicle value protection agreement is canceled by the provider for a reason other than nonpayment of the provider fee, the provider must refund to the contract holder 100 percent of the unearned pro rata provider fee paid by the contract holder, if any. If coverage under the vehicle value protection agreement continues after a claim, any refund may reflect a deduction for claims paid and, at the discretion of the provider, an administrative fee of not more than $75.
