(1) Insofar as other provisions have been agreed in the general terms and conditions of insurance with the consent of the supervisory authority, sections 37, 38, 165, 166, 168 and 169 do not apply to
1. insurance policies with pension funds within the meaning of section 233 (1) and (2) of the Insurance Supervision Act,
2. insurance policies taken out with an association recognised as a small association within the meaning of the Insurance Supervision Act,
3. life insurance policies with small contributions, and
4. accident insurance policies with small contributions.
(2) Furthermore, the following does not apply to pension funds referred to in subsection (1):
1. sections 6 to 9, 11, 150 (2) to (4) and section 152 (1) to (4); with regard to distance contracts in accordance with section 312c of the Civil Code, this does not apply to sections 7 to 9 and to section 152 (1) to (4);
2. section 153, insofar as other provisions have been agreed in the general terms and conditions of insurance with the consent of the supervisory authority; section 153 (3) sentence 1 does not apply to funds paying funeral benefits.
(3) Where other provisions have been agreed for insurance policies with small contributions within the meaning of subsection (1) nos. 3 and 4, their effectiveness may not be challenged by invoking the fact that they are not insurance policies with small contributions.
