Article L312-29 of the French Consumer Code

When the offer of a credit agreement is accompanied by an insurance proposal, a notice is provided to the borrower on paper or any other durable medium. This notice includes extracts from the general terms and conditions of the insurance concerning him/her, in particular the name and address of the insurer, the duration, the risks covered and those excluded.

If the insurance is required by the lender in order to obtain the finance, the information sheet referred to in article L. 312-12 and the credit agreement offer that the borrower may take out equivalent insurance with the insurer of their choice. If the insurance is optional, the credit agreement offer shall state the terms and conditions under which the borrower may opt out.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L312-29

Lorsque l’offre de contrat de crédit est assortie d’une proposition d’assurance, une notice est fournie à l’emprunteur, sur support papier, ou tout autre support durable. Cette notice comporte les extraits des conditions générales de l’assurance le concernant, notamment les nom et adresse de l’assureur, la durée, les risques couverts et ceux qui sont exclus.

Si l’assurance est exigée par le prêteur pour obtenir le financement, la fiche d’informations mentionnée à l’article L. 312-12 et l’offre de contrat de crédit rappellent que l’emprunteur peut souscrire une assurance équivalente auprès de l’assureur de son choix. Si l’assurance est facultative, l’offre de contrat de crédit rappelle les modalités suivant lesquelles l’emprunteur peut ne pas y adhérer.
