English translation of the principle

An insurance contract is a consensual contract. The insured's signature is not necessary for its conclusion. The insured's signing an insurance policy whose terms differ from those agreed upon without requesting correction of those terms within thirty days of receiving the policy. This is considered acceptance of it with the terms it contains.
Arabic original
عقد التأمين عقد رضائي. توقيع المؤمن له غير لازم لانعقاده. توقيع المؤمن له على وثيقة التأمين التي اختلفت شروطها عما تم الاتفاق عليه دون أن يطلب تصحيح هذه الشروط خلال ثلاثين يوماً من تسلم الوثيقة. اعتباره قبولاً لها بما حوته من شروط.
