A licensee shall not issue that evidence, cause or purport to cause any risk to be insured by an eligible unauthorized insurer, or advise any insured or applicant for insurance or the representative of the insured or applicant that insurance has been or will be obtained from an eligible unauthorized insurer unless at least 1 of the following conditions is met:
(a) The licensee has prior written authority from the eligible unauthorized insurer to cause the risk to be insured.
(b) The licensee has received a written or oral communication in the ordinary course of business that the coverage has been obtained.
(c) A policy of insurance covering the insured for the risk has actually been issued by the eligible unauthorized insurer and has been delivered to the insured or the insured's representative.
