CHAPTER IX GUARANTEES Article 23. Surety bond or insurance policy of intermediaries.- In accordance with what is established in Article 122 of the General Insurance Law, brokerage companies, insurance agencies and individual brokers must have a surety bond or insurance policy that guarantees the fulfillment of the responsibilities incurred by these before the contractors, insured, sureties, their beneficiaries and insurance companies, due to the intermediation activities they carry out. Likewise, said surety bond or policy will serve to respond for economic damages caused by bad advice, negligent acts, incompetence, errors or omissions in the contracting of insurance and/or bonds and for claims and/or indemnifications as appropriate; as well as for damages derived from the appropriation of premiums received from their clients by the intermediated policy in the exercise of their operations. The surety bond or policy referred to above must meet the following minimum conditions: a) It will have no deductible; b) The beneficiaries must be the contractors, insured, sureties, their beneficiaries and insurance companies; c) The validity must be for one year and must contain a special clause stipulating that it will respond for up to one year after its expiration for facts attributable that could have occurred during the original validity period, or until judicial actions filed against the intermediary for such facts and within the aforementioned period are resolved by final judgment; d) The policy must be automatically renewable and with an insured sum equivalent to 0.05% of the sums insured intermediated on December 31 of the immediate preceding year, which can never be less than US$250,000.00 or its equivalent in cordobas according to the official exchange rate; and
23 e) The policy must cover all the branches specified in Article 66 of the General Insurance Law, without exclusion of any branch. Once the surety bond or insurance policy referred to in this article is presented to the Superintendence, it will be reviewed by the Superintendent, who may instruct modifications to it when deemed necessary. This surety bond or policy must be presented in original to the Superintendence, who will keep it in custody and return it to the intermediary upon request, once the time established in subsection c) of this article has been fulfilled. Article 24. Amount of the surety bond.- The amount of the surety bond referred to in the preceding article will be calculated according to the premiums intermediated placed in the immediate preceding year, ending on December 31; however, said surety bond cannot be less than the amounts equivalent in national currency, according to the official exchange rate in effect at the time of its issuance, established in the "Table of Annual Premium Ranges and Surety Amount" contained in Annex 8 of this norm, which is an integral part of it. Article 25. Renewal and increase of the surety sum.- Intermediaries must renew the surety bond thirty (30) days in advance of its expiration to present it to the Superintendence. While the surety bond is not renewed, the intermediary cannot exercise their functions; in which case, the Superintendent will communicate to insurance companies, brokerage companies and insurance agencies such situation, instructing them to abstain from carrying out business through intermediaries who fail to comply. Likewise, intermediaries are obliged to increase their surety bond at the moment when their premium volume exceeds the upper limit of the range under which the surety sum was calculated according to the "Table of Annual Premium Ranges and Surety Amount" contained in Annex 8 of this norm, which is an integral part of it. CHAPTER X COMMISSIONS AND CHANGE OF INTERMEDIARY Article 26. Payment of commissions.- Insurance companies authorized to operate in the country must pay their intermediaries commissions for premiums credited on the 15th and 30th of each month. Article 27. Payment of commissions in case of early cancellation of policies.- In case of early cancellation of a policy by the insured, the insurance company may debit from the intermediary's commission account the commission corresponding to the premium returned to the insured. If the cancellation is made by the insurance company, the intermediary will have the right to the commissions corresponding to the premiums effectively paid, unless the cancellation is due to a cause attributable to the intermediary. Article 28. Payment of commissions in case of renewal or modification of policies.- Commissions for the renewal or modification of a policy regarding the same risk or responsibility will belong to the intermediary who placed the immediate previous policy, unless the latter has abandoned the business or the contractor expresses in writing to the insurance company their decision to change insurance intermediaries. If the insured contractor changes the intermediary, the contracts celebrated will remain in force, but in their subsequent execution the new intermediary will intervene, who will have the right to the commissions originating from the payment of premiums in subsequent periods or fractions, in case of fractional premiums. The substituted intermediary will receive commissions relative to premiums, paid or pending payment, until the month in which the date is immersed when the insurance company received, in writing from the insured, communication informing the change of intermediary; that is, they will have the right to receive commissions for premiums accrued during their management; and the new intermediary will only receive commissions relative to premiums that accrue from the month immediately following their appointment. In the case where the premium has been paid in full at the beginning of the policy validity, or that the premium payment fractions have also been cancelled (number of consecutive installments, with or without financing), on the date of appointment of the new intermediary, this one will not receive commissions on what has already been paid, accrued or not, before their appointment; that is, they will only receive commissions for new premiums resulting from modifications to the policy for new inscriptions, increases in insured sums, inclusion of new coverages, etc. In case the policy has been negotiated to be paid based on the fractional premiums modality, whether semi-annual, quarterly or monthly, the corresponding commissions for the unpaid premium fractions, that is, not accrued on the date of appointment of the new intermediary, as well as those resulting from modifications due to subsequent inclusions and/or exclusions, will belong to the new intermediary to receive or deduct them. When it comes to individual life insurance, the intermediary who mediated in the celebration of the contract will not lose the right to commissions, even if the insured designates a new intermediary for the management of their insurance. The provision established in the previous paragraph will not be applicable in the cases of lapsed life policies that have been rehabilitated with the intervention of the new intermediary.
25 Article 29. Retention of commissions.- In case of suspension of the authorization of an insurance intermediary, insurance companies must retain the payment of the commissions due to them while the cause or reason that gave rise to the suspension is not overcome, at the discretion of the Superintendent. Insurance companies must restore the payment of retained commissions once they receive communication from the Superintendence indicating the cessation of the suspension. Article 30. Right of the insured or contractor.- The insurance company must respect at all times the freedom of its clients to choose both the insurance company, and the intermediary if applicable. Nor can it limit the freedom the contractor has to revoke at any time the designation of the intermediary they have disposed of, which must be made effective from the moment the insured and/or contractor, as the case may be, notifies such decision in writing to the insurer. CHAPTER XI REPORTS Article 31. Reports of insurance intermediaries.- Individual brokers, insurance agencies and brokerage companies must send the following reports to the Superintendent: a) Monthly:
28 The opening and closing of branches must be communicated at least thirty (30) days in advance to the Superintendent, informing about the personnel who will work in these offices, as well as their location, phone numbers, facsimile, email address or other relevant data.
