The insurer declares resolution through a written declaration to the contractor even if another person is the insured or beneficiary of the insurance.
In case of resolution of the insurance contract due to the extinguishment of the insured's interest, the contractor/insured owes only the portion of the premium corresponding to the duration of the risk. The insurer may request a fee for the expenses and operations made to conclude the insurance contract.
In the case of resolution of the insurance, the insurer is only entitled to the premium attributed to the insurance period that actually elapsed before the resolution date. However, in case of resolution, the insurer retains the premium for the entire insurance period if an insurance event has occurred.
If the resolution occurred due to unjustified non-performance of an obligation by one party, the right of the other party to repair the damage remains unaffected. In this case, the insurer may request reimbursement or, if applicable, retain management expenses even if the insurance period has not yet started or was suspended, and, according to Article 942 of the Civil Code, may request late interest or penalty on amounts owed after resolution.
Upon resolution of the insurance contract, the contractor will be refunded the premiums for the complete months remaining until the expiration of the contract, deducting the actual management expenses.
The parties may request the resolution of the insurance contract in other cases expressly provided by law, insurance conditions, or contract.
The resolution of the insurance does not extinguish the insurer's obligation for an insured event that occurred during the insurance period that actually elapsed before the resolution date.
The resolution of an insurance contract concluded for a term of 12 months cannot occur, and the premium for the remaining months cannot be refunded, if the insurance contract has produced legal effects for a period of at least 10 months.
The resolution of external motor liability insurance contracts with an insurance period of less than one calendar month cannot occur.
Nullity of the insurance contract.

a) under conditions that contravene the Insurance Law and/or disadvantage the insured compared to the applicable legislation of the Republic of Moldova;
b) with a person not authorized to conclude contracts on behalf of the insurer;
c) after the occurrence of the event for which the insurance contract provides for payment of the insurance indemnity.
In case of absolute nullity of the insurance contract, the insurer will refund the insurance premiums collected excluding management expenses, only if the insurer has not paid any insurance indemnities based on the declared null insurance contract.
