Every retail installment contract must contain the names of the seller and of the buyer, the place of business of the seller, the residence of the buyer as specified by the buyer, and a description or identification of the goods sold or to be sold or services furnished or rendered or to be furnished or rendered. The contract must clearly state and describe any security taken or retained by the seller. No charge may be made to a buyer under an installment contract or charge agreement for insurance against loss or damage to the goods, for insurance against liability for personal injury or property damage caused to others by reason of ownership or operation of the goods, for credit life insurance, for credit health and accident insurance or for any other kind of insurance, unless the installment contract or charge agreement separately specifies for each kind of insurance the type of coverage, the term of coverage and the separate, identified charge made therefor. However, a single charge may be made for credit life, credit health and accident insurance whose issuance in a single form or package has been authorized by the Director of Insurance and whose charges for its various parts can not be separately stated, and, in the case of contracts or charge agreements negotiated and entered into by mail or telephone, in which the kind of insurance, type of coverage, the term of coverage and the charge to be made therefor is clearly set forth in a catalog or other printed solicitation of the seller, disclosure shall be made in the manner required by Section 24 or Section 25 of this Act, whichever one is applicable.
