Check retail sales, inventory and repairs

Coverage includes the stated retail sellers and inventory/repair-service conditions. A service licence alone does not establish it, and industrial rather than farm use does not automatically exclude it.

Apply the stated service, contents and exception conditions

Section 47-11F-3 generally requires six months’ termination notice, prescribed written service and contents. Listed exceptions and the mutual-consent route need separate application.

A contract clause or ordinary message does not establish the statutory procedure. Keep the period as six months rather than converting it to a fixed day count.

Value, return and payment are different questions

Sections 4–5 govern conditional inventory repurchase, including valuation, timing and exclusions. Source, age, condition, title and current-net-price evidence matter; a retail price or gross stock balance is not automatically the statutory value.

Track actual termination, physical return and payment separately, including responsible payer and unresolved warranty questions. Budgeting possible exposure does not establish entitlement.

Scope

  • Limited to the named equipment branch. Definitions, notice exceptions, mutual-consent and repurchase conditions are not determined for an actual arrangement.

Next step

Establish dealer coverage, then apply the actual notice procedure and item-specific return/payment conditions.
