The department or office may terminate an investigation or an action upon acceptance of the written assurance of a company or salesperson of voluntary compliance with this part. An acceptance of assurance may be conditioned on a commitment to reimburse agreement purchasers or to take other appropriate corrective action. An assurance is not evidence of a prior violation of this part. However, unless an assurance has been rescinded by agreement of the parties or voided by a court for good cause, the subsequent failure to comply with the terms of an assurance is prima facie evidence of a violation of this part. No such assurance shall act as a limitation upon any action or remedy available to a person aggrieved by a violation of this part.
