A. To prevent lapses of insurance coverage for risks eligible under this Program before coverage has been made available or declined, a provisional binder affording the insurance requested, subject to all provisions of this Program, including but not limited to a subsequent inspection of the property and compliance with the underwriting standards and other Program requirements, will be automatically issued if:

1. Through no fault of the applicant, coverage has not been either offered or denied within twenty (20) calendar days after the date the request for inspection was received by the Association; and

2. The applicant, at the time of requesting the inspection or at any time prior to the receipt of a written statement indicating that the property is uninsurable, pays the estimated annual premium or deposit premium.

B. The Association shall thereafter promptly conduct an inspection of the property as provided in § 11.4 of this Part above and may decline to continue or cancel any provisional coverage, unless the applicant corrects any conditions which increase the risk of loss or render the property uninsurable under this Program. Coverage provided under this Provisional Binder provision shall be at the rates approved by the Commissioner for the class of property to be insured, exclusive of any surcharge, but shall be subject to an appropriate premium adjustment, if necessary, after the property has been inspected.
