You have 21 days to opt out of purchased life insurance.
Starting from 2023, life and health insurance participants need to pay attention to some important regulations in the Law on Insurance Business 2022.
For example, for two types of life insurance (life insurance, human life) and health insurance, with contracts with a term of more than 1 year, within 21 days from the date of receiving the insurance contract, the insurance buyer has the right to refuse to continue participating in the insurance.
In that case, the insurance contract will be canceled, the insurance buyer will be refunded the premium paid after deducting reasonable expenses (if any) as agreed in the insurance contract; the insurance company does not have to compensate or pay insurance money when an insured event occurs.
The Law clearly distinguishes types of insurance contracts corresponding to types of insurance; clearly stipulates the insured objects and insured benefits for each type of insurance contract.
This Law also specifically stipulates that insurance enterprises, reinsurance enterprises, and foreign branches in Vietnam are not allowed to borrow to invest, entrust investment in securities, real estate business, or contribute capital to other enterprises.
At the same time, these enterprises are also not allowed to do real estate business, except in some cases such as purchasing, investing, and owning real estate to directly serve business activities...
The 2022 Cinema Law replaces the 2006 Cinema Law and the 2009 Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Cinema Law.
The 2022 Cinema Law adds provisions on stopping the dissemination of films for reasons of national defense, security, natural disasters, epidemics or emergency situations; or when there are violations of prohibited acts in cinema activities such as: Violating the Constitution and laws; inciting opposition or sabotage of the implementation of the Constitution and laws; inciting violence and criminal acts by showing in detail the implementation methods, images, sounds, dialogues, scenes of beatings, torture, etc.
The State agency with the authority to decide to stop the distribution of films is the agency that issues film classification licenses, the agency that receives notifications about the content and program of film screenings at public film screening locations, or the inspection agency as prescribed by the Government.
The decision to stop distributing a film will include the reasons, time and duration of the suspension of distribution. Organizations whose films are suspended must publicly announce this issue in the media and ensure the rights of related organizations and individuals.
