NOTICE TO THE CUSTOMER

If you do not receive a valid certificate of title within thirty-one (31) days after the date of sale, you have the right to return the motor vehicle or watercraft to the dealer ten (10) days after giving the dealer written notice demanding delivery or transmission of a valid certificate of title and after the dealer’s failure to deliver or transmit a valid certificate of title within that ten (10) day period. Upon return of the motor vehicle or watercraft to the dealer in the same or similar condition as when it was delivered to you, the dealer shall pay you the purchase price plus sales taxes, finance expenses, insurance expenses, and any other amount that you paid to the dealer. If a lien is present on the previous owner’s certificate of title, it is the responsibility of the third party lienholder to timely deliver or transmit the certificate of title in the third party’s possession to the dealer not more than ten (10) business days after there is no obligation secured by the motor vehicle or watercraft. If the dealer’s inability to deliver or transmit a valid certificate of title to you within the above-described ten (10) day period results from the acts or omissions of a third party that has failed to timely deliver or transmit the certificate of title in the third party’s possession to the dealer, the dealer may be entitled to claim against the third party the damages allowed by law.
