No provision of law relative to the form of insurance contracts or policies shall apply to contracts of reinsurance unless made specifically applicable thereto. Each corporation, company or association which issues in this state any contract of reinsurance shall continue to possess and be subject as to such contract to all of the provisions of its charter and of the statutes, so far as they may be applicable, except as hereinbefore provided.
