NOTICE TO THE CUSTOMER
If you do not receive a valid certificate of title within the time
specified by this affidavit, you have the right to return the vehicle to
the vehicle dealer ten (10) days after giving the vehicle dealer written
notice demanding delivery of a valid certificate of title and after the
vehicle dealer's failure to deliver a valid certificate of title within that
ten (10) day period. Upon return of the vehicle to the vehicle dealer
in the same or similar condition as when it was delivered to you, the
vehicle dealer shall pay you the purchase price plus sales taxes,
finance expenses, insurance expenses, and any other amount that you
paid to the vehicle 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 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 vehicle. If the dealer's inability to deliver 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 who has failed to timely
deliver 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.
