Copy as parenthetical citation

(a) If the manufacturer and dealer agreement is terminated, canceled, or not renewed by the manufacturer or distributor without cause as defined in subsection (b) of Section 8-21C-4 or if the dealer terminates or cancels the manufacturer and dealer agreement for cause as defined in subsection (f) of Section 8-21C-4, and the manufacturer or distributor fails to cure the claimed deficiencies within the time provided in Section 8-21C-4, the manufacturer or distributor, at the election of the dealer and within 45 days after termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal, shall do all of the following:

(1) Repurchase all new, untitled recreational vehicles that were acquired and delivered to the dealership from the manufacturer or distributor within 12 months before the effective date of the notice of termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal that have not been used, except for demonstration purposes, and that have not been altered or damaged at 100 percent of the net invoice cost, including transportation, less applicable rebates and discounts to the dealer. In the event any of the vehicles repurchased pursuant to this subdivision are damaged, but do not trigger a consumer disclosure requirement, the amount due the dealer shall be reduced by the cost of repairing the vehicle. Damage prior to delivery to the dealer that is disclosed at the time of delivery does not disqualify repurchase under this subdivision.

(2) Repurchase all undamaged accessories and proprietary parts sold to the dealer for resale within the 12 months prior to termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal, if accompanied by the original invoice, at 105 percent of the original net price paid to the manufacturer or distributor to compensate the dealer for handling, packing, and shipping the parts.

(3) Repurchase any properly functioning diagnostic equipment, special tools, current signage, and other equipment and machinery at 100 percent of the dealer's net cost plus freight, destination, delivery, and distribution charges and sales taxes, if any, if the items were purchased by the dealer within 5 years before termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal, upon the manufacturer's or distributor's request, and which the dealer meets the burden of establishing, and can no longer be used in the normal course of the dealer's ongoing business.

(b) The manufacturer or distributor shall pay the dealer within 30 days after receipt of the repurchased items.
