(2) if the enrolled customer ceases to have an active service with the vendor of portable electronics; or
(3) if the enrolled customer exhausts the aggregate limit of liability, if any, under the terms of the portable electronics insurance policy.
(b) If a portable electronics insurance policy is terminated under Subsection (a)(3), the insurer must send notice of termination to the enrolled customer not later than the 30th day after the date of exhaustion of the limit.
