Keywords:	... afférente à la période non courue nous reste alors acquise à titre d'indemnité -- I need help understand this whole part "nous reste alors acquise à titre d'indemnité", I'm just not getting this. The "nous" refers to the insurer (this is in general provisions of a professional liability policy). thx

earned

My comment:

the portion of the premium for the unexpired period is earned by us

earned and unearned premium is the concept

My references:

The premium corresponding to the time period remaining on an insurance policy. Unearned premiums are proportionate to the unexpired portion of the risk, for which coverage has been sought by the insured party. Thus, it is deemed to have not yet been earned, or "unearned," by the insurer. It appears as a liability on the insurer's balance sheet, as it would have to be paid back upon cancellation of the insurance policy.
