(1) If the insurer increases the premium on the basis of an adjustment clause without the scope of the insurance cover changing in relation thereto, the policyholder may terminate the contract with immediate effect within one month of receipt of the communication from the insurer, at the earliest however at such time as the increase in the insurance premium becomes effective. The insurer must inform the policyholder of his or her right to terminate the contract in the communication. The policyholder must receive the communication at the latest one month before the increase in the insurance premium becomes effective.

(2) Subsection (1) applies accordingly if the insurer reduces the scope of the insurance cover on the basis of an adjustment clause without reducing the premium accordingly.
