(1) Premiums, dues or fees shall not be excessive or inadequate, as herein defined, nor shall they be unfairly discriminatory;

(3) No premiums, dues or fees shall be held to be inadequate unless such premiums, dues or fees are unreasonably low for the coverage provided and the continued use of such premiums, dues or fees endangers the solvency of the corporation using the same;
