In all cases other than those provided for in the third and fourth paragraphs of article L. 160-7, the insured must, within one month of becoming aware of the dispossession or the entry into force of the requisition of services, notify the insurer by registered letter or electronic registered mail, specifying the property to which the requisition relates. Failing notification within this period, the insurer is entitled, by way of damages, to the fraction of the premium corresponding to the time elapsed between the date on which the insured became aware of the dispossession or the entry into force of the requisition of services and the date on which he notified the insurer.
In the event of cancellation, the insurer must, after deduction of any damages as provided for above, return to the insured the portion of the premium paid in advance and relating to the time when the risk is no longer incurred.
In the event of suspension, this portion of the premium shall be retained by the insurer to the credit of the insured and shall bear interest at the rate for advances on securities issued by the Banque de France from the next due date.
In the event of a reduction, the fraction of the premium paid in excess is also retained by the insurer to the credit of the insured; it bears interest under the same conditions and is automatically deducted from the premiums due.
If the suspended or reduced contract is terminated during the requisition, the portion of the premium paid in excess is returned to the insured with interest. However, it is automatically deducted from the sum due by the insured who, during the requisition, has other risks insured by the insurer.
