(A) Agreements or arrangements for the advancing of insurance premiums by an insurance producer, agency, or producer of record under this article are not subject to Section 38-55-50, relating to the incorporation of collateral agreements effecting the insurance into the policies or contracts of insurance so affected. (B) A producer or agency which, pursuant to this article, advances premiums in behalf of an insured or applicant for insurance to an insurer for which the producer or agency is licensed is conclusively presumed to be acting in his or its own right and for the protection of his or its own financial interests with respect to the lien provided in this article. No request by the producer or agency to the insurer to cancel a policy, nor the assertion or perfection of the lien by the producer or agency, is considered to create a conflict in interest nor is any act of a producer, agency, or producer of record in causing cancellation of a policy because of the default of the insured in his obligation or in asserting or perfecting the lien void or voidable because of a claimed conflict in interest.
