(3) The risks insured against;

(4) The time when the insurance thereunder takes effect and the period during which the insurance is to continue;

(5) The premium or premium deposit;

(d) Subsections (b) and (c) of this section shall not apply as to surety contracts or to group insurance policies.

(e) All life and accident and health policies and annuity contracts issued by domestic insurers, and the forms thereof filed with the Insurance Commissioner, shall have printed thereon an appropriate designating letter or figure, or combination of letters or figures, or terms identifying the respective forms of policies or contracts, together with the year of adoption of the form. Whenever any change is made in the form, the designating letters, figures, or terms and year of adoption thereon shall be correspondingly changed.

(1) All individual life, annuity, and accident and health policy or contract filings, excluding medicare supplement policies and variable life policies and variable annuities, shall have a notice prominently printed on the first page of the policy or contract stating in substance that the policyholder shall have the right to return the policy or contract within ten (10) days of its delivery, unless the policy or contract provides for a greater period, and to have the premium refunded if after examination of the policy or contract the policyholder is not satisfied for any reason.

(2) If the policyholder returns the policy or contract to the insurance company or to the agent through whom it was purchased within ten (10) days of the policy delivery, it shall be void from its inception, and the parties shall be in the same position as if no policy or contract had been issued.
