NOTICE OF CANCELLATION OR NONRENEWAL

Your agent a written notice of Our intention to cancel Your policy. The notice shall be sent by certificate
of mailing at least forty five (45) days prior to the policy’s expiration date unless the cancellation is for
non-payment of premium. If the cancellation is for non-payment of premium, We will send You or Your
agent written notice of Our intention to cancel Your policy. The notice will be sent by a First-Class Mail
Tracking Method, at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of cancellation. The notice of
cancellation or nonrenewal will provide the reason for Our proposed action. You may request additional
information regarding cancellation or nonrenewal. We will respond in writing to Your request within fifteen
(15) days from the date it is received.

However, if We have provided You with a renewal policy and a notice of premium due at least forty five
(45) days before the renewal date of the policy and You fail to make the required payment by the renewal
date, We may terminate the policy on the renewal date for nonpayment of premium.

At the time We issue Your policy or binder of insurance, We shall provide You with written notice of our
ability to cancel the policy or binder during the forty five (45) day underwriting period.

If Your policy is other than a renewal, has been in effect for less than forty five (45) days and is being
cancelled for other than nonpayment of premium, We may cancel it if You do not meet any of Our
underwriting standards. We will provide You with a written notice of cancellation sent by a First-Class
Mail Tracking Method. The notice shall be effective fifteen (15) days after its mailing. The notice will
clearly and specifically state Our reason for the cancellation.

If Your policy is other than a renewal, has been in effect for less than forty five (45) days and is being
cancelled for nonpayment of premium, We shall provide You with a written notice of cancellation stating
the reason for the action as nonpayment of premium. The notice of cancellation will be sent by a First-
Class Mail Tracking Method. It shall be effective ten (10) days after its mailing.

NOTICE OF CONDITIONAL RENEWAL


We will provide written notice to You upon renewal or by endorsement, of any proposed addition,
reduction, or elimination of coverage. If We intend to increase Your renewal premium by twenty percent
(20%) or more, We shall send You or Your agent a written notice of Our intention to increase Your
premium. The notice will be sent by first class mail. We are not required by Maryland law to send You a
notice if the increase in premium is due to an increase in exposure or if You have replaced the insurance.

All other terms and conditions of this policy shall remain unchanged.
