(1) on written request, an insurer is required to provide, within a reasonable time, reasonable factual information regarding the benefits and provisions of the policy or contract to the policy or contract holder; and

(2) if, for any reason, the policy or contract holder is not satisfied with the policy or contract, the policy or contract holder may return the policy or contract within 10 days after the policy or contract is delivered and, except as provided in (d) of this section, receive a refund of all money paid.
