Tennessee Code Title 56. Insurance § 56-6-1104

(1) The vendor obtains a limited lines license to authorize its employees or authorized representatives to sell or offer portable electronics insurance pursuant to § 56-6-1102;

(2) The insurer issuing the portable electronics insurance either directly supervises or appoints a supervising entity to supervise the administration of the program, including development of a training program for employees and authorized representatives of the vendors. The training required by this subdivision (a)(2) shall comply with the following:

(3) No employee or authorized representative of a vendor of portable electronics shall advertise, represent, or otherwise hold himself or herself out as a non limited lines licensed insurance producer; and

(4) No employee or authorized representative of a vendor shall be compensated based primarily on the number of customers enrolled for portable electronics insurance coverage; provided, however, that the employee or authorized representative may receive compensation for activities under the limited lines license which is incidental to his or her overall compensation.

(b)(1) The charges for portable electronics insurance coverage may be billed and collected by the vendor of portable electronics. Any charge to the customer for coverage that is not included in the cost associated with the purchase or lease of portable electronics or related services shall be separately itemized on the enrolled customer's bill. If the portable electronics insurance coverage is included with the purchase or lease of portable electronics or related services the vendor shall clearly and conspicuously disclose to the enrolled customer that the coverage is included with the purchase or lease of the portable electronics or related services.

(2) Vendors billing and collecting such charges shall not be required to maintain such funds in a segregated account; provided, that the vendor is authorized by the insurer to hold such funds in a nonsegregated account and remits such amounts to the supervising entity within sixty (60) days of receipt.

(3) All funds received by a vendor from an enrolled customer for the sale of portable electronics insurance shall be considered funds held in trust by the vendor in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the insurer.

(4) Vendors may receive compensation for billing and collection services.
