The insurance or capitalisation undertaking has no right to demand payment of premiums.
If a premium or fraction of a premium has not been paid within ten days of the due date, the insurer shall send the contracting party a registered letter informing him that, at the end of a period of forty days from the date of dispatch of this letter, the non-payment, to the insurer or to the agent designated by the insurer, of the premium or fraction of the premium due, as well as any premiums that may have fallen due during the said period, will result either in the cancellation of the contract if the surrender value does not exist or is insufficient, or in the reduction of the contract.
Sending a registered letter by the insurer makes the premium portable in all cases.
Failure to pay a premium due under a capitalisation contract can only result in the suspension or outright cancellation of the contract and, in the latter case, in the surrender value that the contract may have acquired being made available to the policyholder.
