SB146916E (Ed. 07-20) If we fail to give the first Named Insured shown in the Declarations notice of nonrenewal at least 75 days prior to policy expiration, as required in the paragraph above, this Policy, with no change in its terms and conditions, shall remain in effect for 75 days from the date that the notice of nonrenewal is delivered or mailed to the named insured. A notice to this effect shall be provided by us to the first Named Insured with the notice of nonrenewal. We may elect not to renew such coverage for any reason, except that we will not refuse to renew such coverage solely because: a. The first Named Insured has accepted an offer of earthquake coverage. However, the following applies only to insurers who are associate participating insurers as established by Cal. Ins. Code Section 10089.16. We may elect not to renew such coverage after the first Named Insured has accepted an offer of earthquake coverage, if one or more of the following reasons applies: (1) The nonrenewal is based on sound underwriting principles that relate to the coverages provided by this policy and that are consistent with the approved rating plan and related documents filed with the Department of Insurance as required by existing law; (2) The Commissioner of Insurance finds that the exposure to potential losses will threaten our solvency or place us in a hazardous condition. A hazardous condition includes, but is not limited to, a condition in which we make claims payments for losses resulting from an earthquake that occurred within the preceding two years and that required a reduction in policyholder surplus of at least 25%for payment of those claims; or (3) We have: (a) Lost or experienced a substantial reduction in the availability or scope of reinsurance coverage; or (b) Experienced a substantial increase in the premium charged for reinsurance coverage of our residential property insurance policies;and the Commissioner has approved a plan for the nonrenewals that is fair and equitable, and that is responsive to the changes in our reinsurance position. b. The first Named Insured has cancelled or did not renew a policy, issued by the California Earthquake Authority that included an earthquake policy premium surcharge. c. Corrosive soil conditions exist on the premises. If a state of emergency under California Law is declared and the residential property is located in any ZIP Code within or adjacent to the fire perimeter as determined by California Law, we will not nonrenew this Policy for one year, beginning from the date the state of emergency is declared, solely because the dwelling or other structure is located in an area in which a wildfire has occurred. However, we may nonrenew: a. If willful or grossly negligent acts or omissions by the named insured, or his or her representatives, are discovered that materially increase any of the risks insured against; or b. If losses unrelated to the post-disaster loss condition of the property have occurred that would collectively render the risk ineligible for renewal; or c. If there are physical changes in the property insured against, beyond the catastrophe damaged condition of the structures and surface landscape, which result in the property becoming uninsurable. 3. We are not required to send notice of nonrenewal in the following situations: a. If the transfer or renewal of a policy, without any changes in terms, conditions, or rates, is between us and a member of our insurance group. b. If the policy has been extended for 90 days or less, provided that notice has been given in accordance with Paragraph 1.
