(a) If a nonconformity in an assistive technology device occurs or exists during the term of an express warranty applicable to the assistive technology device or within two years of the delivery of the assistive technology device to a consumer, whichever is longer, and the consumer reports the nonconformity to the manufacturer of the assistive technology device or to any of such manufacturer’s authorized dealers or lessors and makes the assistive technology device available for repair during such period, the manufacturer shall repair the nonconformity or cause the nonconformity to be repaired in accordance with this section. If the manufacturer authorizes a dealer or lessor to make any such repair, the manufacturer shall reimburse the dealer or lessor for the cost of such repair. The manufacturer shall respond to a dealer’s or lessor’s request for authorization to repair an assistive technology device not later than the end of the business day following the business day on which such request was made.

(b) After an assistive technology device is made available for repair under subsection (a) of this section, the manufacturer shall reimburse the consumer for the reasonable per day cost incurred by the consumer for the use of an equivalent assistive technology device during the repair period if: (1) The repair period exceeds ten business days, including the business day on which the assistive technology device is made available to the manufacturer or dealer for repair; or (2) the nonconformity is the same as a nonconformity for which the assistive technology device has been made available for repair under subsection (a) of this section on at least two previous occasions.

(c) If an assistive technology device is made available to a dealer or lessor for repair by the manufacturer under subsection (a) of this section and the dealer or lessor fails to forward the assistive technology device to the manufacturer in time for the manufacturer to make the repair within ten business days after the business day on which the assistive technology device was made available to the dealer or lessor, the dealer or lessor shall reimburse the manufacturer for any amount actually paid to the consumer under subsection (b) of this section.

(d) If an assistive technology device is made available for repair under subsection (a) of this section at least three times for the same nonconformity during the term of an express warranty applicable to the assistive technology device or within two years of the delivery of the assistive technology device to a consumer, whichever is longer, or is out of service due to the same nonconformity for not less than thirty consecutive or nonconsecutive calendar days during such period, and such nonconformity is not repaired:

(1) If such assistive technology device was purchased, the manufacturer shall, as directed by the consumer, either (A) accept return of the assistive technology device, replace such returned assistive technology device with an alternative assistive technology device of comparable quality, size and function, and refund any collateral costs paid by the consumer or by a holder of a perfected security interest in the returned assistive technology device; or (B) accept return of the assistive technology device and refund to the consumer or to the holder of a perfected security interest in the returned assistive technology device, or both in proportions as may be applicable, an amount not exceeding the full purchase price plus any finance charge, sales tax, shipping cost and collateral costs paid by the consumer or by such holder, minus a reasonable allowance for use. Such reasonable allowance for use shall not exceed an amount obtained by multiplying the full purchase price of the returned assistive technology device by a fraction, the denominator of which is 1,825 and the numerator of which is the number of days that the returned assistive technology device was used before the consumer first reported the nonconformity under subsection (a) of this section.

(2) If such assistive technology device was leased, the manufacturer shall, as directed by the lessor in accordance with the election of remedies by the consumer, either (A) accept return of the assistive technology device, replace such returned assistive technology device with an alternative assistive technology device of comparable quality, size and function which shall be furnished by the lessor to the consumer as provided in subsection (b) of § 42-332, and refund any collateral costs paid by the lessor or by a holder of a perfected security interest in the returned assistive technology device; or (B) accept return of the assistive technology device, refund to the lessor or to the holder of a perfected security interest in the returned assistive technology device, or both in proportions as may be applicable, the current value of the lease, and reimburse the lessor for, and the lessor shall refund to the consumer as provided in subsection (b) of § 42-332, the amount paid by the consumer under the lease as of the date of such return plus any collateral costs, minus a reasonable allowance for use. For purposes of this subdivision, the current value of such lease equals the total amount for which such lease obligates the consumer during the period of the lease term remaining after its early termination under this subdivision plus the lessor’s early termination costs and the value of the assistive technology device at the expiration of the lease term, if such value is set forth in the lease, minus the lessor’s early termination savings. Such reasonable allowance for use shall not exceed an amount obtained by multiplying the total amount for which such lease obligates the consumer by a fraction, the denominator of which is 1,825 and the numerator of which is the number of days that the returned assistive technology device was used before the consumer first reported the nonconformity under subsection (a) of this section.
