(b) Changes which occur during the policy period shall be calculated using the rates in effect at the beginning of the policy period.

(c) If premium changes are made during the policy period to reflect changes pursuant to (a)(11) above, they shall be appropriately removed on the same basis during a subsequent policy period.

It shall be the responsibility of the named insured to inform their insurance company at renewal if the residency information contained in the affidavit ceases to be correct.
