Pursuant to New Jersey law, this policy cannot be cancelled or nonrenewed for any underwriting reason or guideline which is arbitrary, capricious or unfairly discriminatory or without adequate prior notice to the insured.

This provision shall not apply to any policy that has been in effect for less than 60 days at the time notice of cancellation is mailed or delivered, unless the policy is a renewal policy.
