Section 284-15-080 - Relationship between surplus line broker and insurance producer not acting as the agent of the insured

When a surplus line broker accepts surplus line business from an insurance producer not acting as an agent of the insured, as permitted by RCW 48.15.080, acceptance of the business does not mean that the insurance producer has become the representative of the insured with respect to that business. In this circumstance:

(1) Return premiums or claim payments will not be deemed to have been paid to the insured or claimant until the payments are actually received by the insured or claimant.

(2) Delivery of notices involving the insurance, such as cancellation or renewal notices, will not be deemed to have been made until actually received by the insured.
