§ 4-90-806. Cancellation of guaranteed asset protection waiver

(a)
(1) A guaranteed asset protection waiver agreement may be cancelable or may not be cancelable after the free look period.
(2) A guaranteed asset protection waiver that is cancelable shall provide that if a borrower cancels a guaranteed asset protection waiver within the free look period, the borrower shall be entitled to a full refund of the purchase price, so long as no benefits have been provided.

(b)
(1) Upon a borrower's cancellation of the guaranteed asset protection waiver or early termination of the finance agreement, after the agreement has been in effect beyond the free look period and no benefits have been provided, the borrower shall be entitled to a refund of any unearned portion of the purchase price of the waiver less any cancellation fee no greater than seventy-five dollars ($75.00) according to the terms of the waiver.
(2) In order to receive a refund, a borrower shall provide a written notice requesting to cancel the guaranteed asset protection waiver to the creditor, administrator, or other party under any applicable terms of the guaranteed asset protection waiver.
(3) If the request is being made due to the early termination of the finance agreement, the notice shall be provided by the borrower to the creditor, administrator, or other party within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of the event terminating the finance agreement.

(c) If the cancellation of the guaranteed asset protection waiver occurs as a result of a default under the finance agreement, the repossession of the motor vehicle associated with the finance agreement, or any other termination of the finance agreement, any refund due may be paid directly to the creditor or administrator and applied as stated in subsection (d) of this section.
(d) A cancellation refund under this section may be applied by the creditor as a reduction of the amount owed under the finance agreement, unless the borrower can show that the finance agreement has been paid in full.
