When insurance takes the form of a contract in an insurance policy, it is subject to requirements in statutes, Administrative Agency regulations, and court decisions. In an insurance contract, one party, theinsured, pays a specified amount of money, called a premium, to another party, the insurer. Insurance, like every other contract, is formed when there is an offer made, that offer is accepted, and consideration (payment or a promise to pay premium) is given. In a diversity action, a federal court must apply the choice-of-law rules of the forum state. Typically, the insurance contract will state that an insurer is not liable to cover any loss until the premium is paid. Depending on the policy wording and the renewal notice, there is no principle of law that requires the payment of premium before an insurance contract will operate. Approximately 38 states have passed a Service Contract Model Act ( NAIC Model Act) that lessens the degree of regulation. Service contracts and the obligors that provide them are usually still under the oversight of the Department of Insurance, but there are laws that either remove or reduce the burdens of compliance.
