Guaranteed asset
protection waivers must disclose, as applicable, in writing and
in clear, understandable language that is easy to read, the
following:
(1) The name and address of the initial creditor and the
borrower at the time of sale, and the identity of any
administrator if different from the creditor;
(2) The purchase price and the terms of the waiver,
including without limitation, the requirements for protection,
conditions, or exclusions associated with the waiver;
(3) That the borrower may cancel the waiver within a free
look period as specified in the waiver, and will be entitled to a
full refund of the purchase price, so long as no benefits have
been provided; or in the event benefits have been provided, the
borrower may receive a full or partial refund pursuant to the
terms of the waiver;
(4) The procedure the borrower must follow, if any, to
obtain waiver benefits under the terms and conditions of the
waiver, including a telephone number and address where the
borrower may apply for waiver benefits;
(5) Whether or not the waiver is cancellable after the free
look period and the conditions under which it may be canceled or
terminated including the procedures for requesting any refund
due;
(6) That in order to receive any refund due in the event of
a borrower's cancellation of the waiver agreement or early
termination of the finance agreement after the free look period
of the waiver, the borrower, in accordance with terms of the
waiver, must provide a written request to cancel to the creditor,
administrator, or such other party, within ninety days of the
occurrence of the event terminating the finance agreement;
(7) The methodology for calculating any refund of the
unearned purchase price of the waiver due, in the event of
cancellation of the waiver or early termination of the finance
agreement;
(8) That any refund of the purchase price for a waiver that
was included in the financing of the motor vehicle or vessel may
be applied by the creditor as a reduction of the overall amount
owed under the finance agreement, rather than applying the refund
strictly to the purchase price of the waiver. This disclosure
must be conspicuously presented prior to the purchase of the
waiver;
(9) That neither the extension of credit, the terms of the
credit, nor the terms of the related motor vehicle sale or lease, may be conditioned upon the purchase of the waiver;
(10) That the guaranteed asset protection waiver is not
credit insurance, nor does it eliminate the borrower's obligation
to insure the motor vehicle as provided by laws of this state.
Purchasing a guaranteed asset protection waiver does not
eliminate the borrower's rights and obligations under the vendor
single-interest and collateral protection coverage laws of this
state.
