company may thereafter request in the name of the insured, cancella-
tion of such insurance contract or contracts by mailing to the insurer

of cancellation to the insured at his last known address, 
"(d) All statutory, regulatory, and contractual restrictions pro-

with this section, the insurer shall return whatever gross unearned 
premiums are due under the insurance contract to the premium finance 
company effecting the cancellation for the account of the insured or 
insureds. 
"(f) In the event that the crediting of return premiums to the ac-
count of the insured results in a surplus over the amount due from the 
insured, the premium finance company shall refund such excess to the 
insured provided that no such refund shall be required if it amounts 
to less than $1.
