(E) A representation that services will be initiated by or under the direction of the insurer within 48 hours after request is made for services.
(e) All other provisions which are required by the Insurance Code or by rules issued by the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services.
(2) A home protection policy shall be noncancelable during the term for which it is originally written, except for nonpayment of the premium charge for the policy or for fraud or misrepresentation of facts material to the issuance of the policy. However, a policy providing coverage while the subject home is being offered for sale is cancelable in accordance with the policy provisions if no sale is made. A home protection policy is not renewable unless its terms provide otherwise.

The director may not adopt rules specifying the home components or related personal property which must be covered by a home protection policy, except to the extent necessary to:
(a) Obtain fairness in the exclusions from coverage; or
(b) Avoid illusory coverage caused by the nature or extent of the exclusions from coverage.
