If the insurer fails to provide adequate and timely notice, the insurer shall renew the policy using the expiring policy or coverage provisions:

(b) A correction based on the experience that is applicable to the risk in accordance with the Uniform Plan for Rating Experience filed with the Commissioner pursuant to NRS 686B.177.
3. The provisions of this section do not apply to a renewal of a policy in which the change in policy or coverage provisions consists only of a:
(a) Decrease in the amount of the total premium charged to the insured for the renewal of the policy;
(b) Change in the effective date and expiration date of the policy if the duration of the renewed policy remains unchanged; or
(c) Change in one or more conditions of the policy that are intended to make an aspect of the coverage provided by the policy more favorable to the insured and is not accompanied by a change in one or more conditions of the policy that are intended to make an aspect of the coverage provided by the policy less favorable to the insured.
