1. A company shall not charge or collect a charge for interest which is not permitted by this section.
2. Interest must be computed on the balance due, after subtracting the down payment, from the effective date of the insurance contract or agreement, whichever is earlier, through the date on which the final installment is payable.
3. The rate of interest must be specified in the agreement. The agreement may provide for a service charge of not more than $25, and that the charge is not refundable.

If the amount of the refund is less than $1, no refund need be made.
