Cite as N.D. Admin. Code ยง 45-06-04-06
1.
When an advertisement which is an invitation to contract refers to either a dollar amount, or a
period of time for which any benefit is payable, or the cost of the policy, or specific policy
benefit, or the loss for which such benefit is payable, it must also disclose those exceptions,
reductions, and limitations affecting the basic provisions of the policy without which the
advertisement would have the capacity or tendency to mislead or deceive.
2.
When a policy contains a waiting, elimination, probationary, or similar time period between the
effective date of the policy and the effective date of coverage under the policy or a time period
between the date a loss occurs and the date benefits begin to accrue for such loss, an
advertisement which is subject to the requirements of subsection 1 must disclose the
existence of such periods.
3.
An advertisement may not use the words "only"; "just"; "merely"; "minimum"; or similar words
or phrases to deceptively describe or unfairly minimize the applicability of any exceptions and
reductions contained in the policy advertised.
