Identify the equipment and granted rights

RSA 357-C includes specified farm, utility, forestry, industrial, construction, yard and garden equipment. Its definitions also require particular sellers, rights and arrangements; the equipment list alone does not establish coverage.

Separate equipment sales, distribution, authorized service and warranty rights, including actual supplier and parts dependence. The specified single-line dealer exception and express treatment of service-only fleet, government or rental-vehicle arrangements need their own conditions.

This note does not supply an exit deadline

Covered relationships have good-faith, good-cause, notice and protest provisions. The actual RSA 357-C:7 route must be examined for the intended event. A contract saying “good faith” does not establish compliance, and this page supplies no universal notice period or compensation entitlement.

Scope

  • Limited to the named scope inquiry. Actual exceptions and the event-specific RSA 357-C:7 procedure remain unresolved.

Next step

Identify the added products and service/warranty rights before applying a dealer definition or choosing an exit process.
