17B:26-24.  Cancellation
    There may be a provision as follows:

    Cancellation:  The insurer may cancel this policy at any time by written notice delivered to the insured, or mailed to his last address as shown by the records of the insurer, stating when, not less than five days thereafter, such cancellation shall be effective;  and after the policy has been continued beyond its original term the insured may cancel this policy at any time by written notice delivered or mailed to the insurer, effective upon receipt or on  such later date as may be specified in such notice.

    In the event of cancellation, the insurer will return promptly the unearned  portion of any premium paid.  If the insured cancels, the earned premium shall  be computed by the use of the short-rate table last filed with the State  official having supervision of insurance in the State where the insured resided  when the policy was issued.  If the insurer cancels, the earned premium shall  be computed pro-rata.  Cancellation shall be without prejudice to any claim  originating prior to the effective date of cancellation.
