an insurer to give information to the insured at or before a variation of the relevant contract of insurance, unless subsection (10A) applies to the variation; and
 (c) sections 35, 37, 37C, 44, 49 and 68 require an insurer to give information to the insured at or before a variation of the relevant contract of insurance, but only to the extent that the information relates to the provision or provisions varied or proposed to be varied.
 (10A) This subsection applies to a variation of a contract of insurance if:
 (a) the variation:
 (i) is involved in a renewal, extension or reinstatement of the contract; or
 (ii) will provide a kind of insurance cover that was not provided by the contract immediately before the variation; or
 (iii) in the case of a contract of life insurance—will increase a sum insured under the contract in respect of one or more of the life insureds; and
 (b) the variation is not an automatic variation but is required to be expressly agreed between the insurer and the insured before the contract is varied.
 (11) Where a provision of this Act requires anything to be done before a particular contract is entered into, it is sufficient compliance with that provision if that thing is done at the time when the contract is entered into.
