(a) A creditor, its insurer, or the insurer's agent that places collateral protection insurance in substantial compliance with the terms of this chapter is not directly or indirectly liable to a debtor, cosigner, or guarantor or any other person in connection with the placement of the collateral protection insurance.
(b) This chapter does not impose a fiduciary relationship between the creditor and debtor. Placement of collateral protection insurance is for the principal purpose of protecting the interest of the creditor if the debtor fails to insure collateral as required by the credit agreement.
(c) A creditor is not required under this chapter to purchase collateral protection insurance or to otherwise insure collateral. A creditor is not liable to a debtor or any other person for failing to purchase collateral protection insurance, failing to purchase a certain amount or level of coverage of collateral protection insurance, or purchasing collateral protection insurance that protects only the interests of the creditor or less than all the interest of a debtor. This chapter does not create a cause of action for damages on behalf of a debtor or any other person in connection with the placement of collateral protection insurance.
