When a person indicates a residential contractor will be\n\npaid by the proceeds of a property and casualty insurance policy and\n\nthe person enters into a written contract with a residential\n\ncontractor to provide goods and services with the understanding the\n\ninsured is to pay from the proceeds of a property and casualty\n\ninsurance policy claim, the person may cancel the contract within\n\nseventy-two (72) hours after the insured has received written notice\n\nfrom the insurer that all or any part of the claim has been denied.\n\nCancellation is evidenced by the insured giving written notice of\n\ncancellation to the residential contractor at the address stated in\n\nthe contract. Notice of cancellation, if given by mail, is\n\neffective upon deposit into the United States mail, postage prepaid\n\nand properly addressed to the contractor.

See attached Notice\n\nof Cancellation for an explanation of this right.”; and\n\n2. Furnish the insured a Notice of Cancellation form, fully\n\ncompleted in duplicate, attached to the contract, but easily\n\ndetachable, containing a statement in boldface letters in a minimum\n\nsize of ten-point type, containing the following statement:\n\n“NOTICE OF CANCELLATION\n\nIf your insurer denies all or any part of your claim to pay for\n\ngoods and services to be provided under this contract, you may\n\ncancel the contract by mailing or delivering a signed and dated\n\ncopy of this cancellation notice or any other written notice to\n\n______ (name of contractor) at _______ (address of contractor’s\n\nplace of business) at any time within seventy-two (72) hours\n\nafter you have received written notice that your claim has been\n\ndenied.
