2. In the event the Manufacturer changes or modifies the design of any part or accessory of the Vehicle after Your order for the Vehicle has been entered by Us, You will not have any claim or right against Us if the Vehicle does not contain such changes or modifications, nor shall We be required to effect such changes or modifications to the Vehicle.
3. In the event the price to You of the Vehicle ordered is changed by the Manufacturer prior to delivery to You, (ie., there is an increase in the cost of the Vehicle to Us), We may increase the price of the Vehicle and You agree to pay such adjusted price. We may also increase the price of the Vehicle and You agree to pay such adjusted price if You request the addition of new equipment or the addition of new equipment is required by state or federal law or if the price increase is caused by state or federal tax rate changes.
4. You agree that We are not liable for any damages resulting from Our failure to deliver the Vehicle if the failure is caused by an accident, fire, act of nature or any other causes beyond Our control. This Agreement may be renegotiated or canceled (with full refund of any deposit/partial payment) if the Vehicle is not delivered to You as specified on the front side of this Agreement. If You have delivered a Trade-In Vehicle to Us, the Trade-In Vehicle shall be returned to You, or if the Trade-In Vehicle is not available, refund to You the actual value of the Trade-In Vehicle.
5. Any Trade-In Vehicle delivered by You to Us in connection with this transaction shall be accompanied by a title or documents sufficient to enable Us to obtain a title to the Trade-In Vehicle in accordance with applicable state law. You warrant that the Trade-In Vehicle delivered to Us is properly titled to You, has never been titled a salvage, junk, rebuilt or lemon buyback vehicle, that the engine block of such Trade-In Vehicle is not cracked and the frame of such Trade-In Vehicle has not suffered any damage whatsoever, the vehicle identification number of such Trade-In Vehicle has not been altered or changed and corresponds to the vehicle identification number which appears on the certificate of title, such Trade-In Vehicle has not suffered any flood or water penetration damage, has never been used in police or taxi service, that You have the right to sell or to otherwise convey such Trade-In Vehicle, the Trade-In Vehicle is not a gray market vehicle, is free and clear of liens or encumbrances except as may be noted on the front side of this Agreement; that all air pollution control equipment is on the Trade-In Vehicle and appears properly connected and undamaged; and, unless You tell Us otherwise that You have not removed equipment from the Trade-In Vehicle and that the odometer reading shown is accurate. If any of the foregoing representations and warranties shall prove untrue or incorrect, We may, at our sole option, retain the Trade-In Vehicle and collect damages or rescind the purchase of the Trade-in Vehicle. You agree Your failure to comply with this paragraph five (5) will result in Your obligation to deliver to Us the value of the Trade-In Vehicle in cash.
6. If You are delivering a Trade-In Vehicle to Us in connection with this purchase transaction and the delivery will not be made until delivery of the Vehicle being purchased from Us, the Trade-In Vehicle shall be reappraised at the time of redelivery to Us and such reappraised value shall determine the allowance made for such Trade-In Vehicle.

If You are dissatisfied with the reappraisal, You may cancel this Agreement with full refund of any deposit/partial payment, provided that the cancellation occurs prior to You taking delivery of the purchased Vehicle.

In fact, the amount allowed may exceed the actual cash value of Your Trade-In Vehicle.
8. You acknowledge and agree that You have given us permission to contact the lienholder on Your Trade-In Vehicle(s) in order to obtain payoff information regarding the Trade-In Vehicle(s) described in this Agreement. You understand that information about Your account(s) is private and that the lienholder(s) may be asked to reveal nonpublic personal information about You to Us. In accordance with federal and state privacy laws, You hereby authorize the lienholder(s) to release Your payoff information to Us and answer any questions that We have with respect to Your account(s). This information will be used only in connection with the transaction that You have initiated and only for the purposes for which it has been provided.
9. In the event of any failure by You to perform Your obligations under this Agreement including, but not limited to, any failure to take delivery of or to pay the agreed upon price for the Vehicle, We shall be permitted to retain an amount equal to any actual damages We incur due to Your default. If You have delivered a Trade-In Vehicle to Us as part of this transaction, We may return the Trade-In Vehicle to You if We have not already sold it. If We have already sold the Trade-In Vehicle, We will refund the actual cash value of the Trade-In Vehicle at the time the return is made less the balance owed on the Trade-In Vehicle as reflected on the front side of this Agreement, Our actual damages and any reasonable expenses incurred by Us in connection with this Agreement. In the event We have satisfied the liens on the Trade-In Vehicle, You shall be responsible for paying to Us the balance owed on the Trade-In Vehicle if the balance owed exceeds the Trade-In Allowance disclosed on the front side of this Agreement.

10. The front and back of this Agreement and any documents incorporated herein by reference comprise the entire agreement affecting this purchase. You agree to sign any and all documents necessary to complete the terms of this transaction. If You have executed an Arbitration Agreement inconjunction with this Agreement such Arbitration Agreement shall be incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement.
11. You acknowledge that You are not relying upon any statement or promise by any salesperson, sales manager or any other employee of Ours that is not contained in any written document executed by Us and You.
12. If this is a cash sale, payment is demanded and due on delivery of the Vehicle. If any payment to Us, whether as a deposit or full or partial payment is made by check, which is subsequently dishonored, You agree that, within 24 hours following written or oral notice from Us that the check has been dishonored, You will (1) pay the amount of the returned check, along with a $25 dishonored check fee, in cash or certified funds, or (2) return the vehicle to Us. If You fail to timely pay the amount of the returned check and applicable charges in good funds or return the Vehicle to Us, We may, at our sole option, pursue all available legal remedies that We may have, including (1) reaffirming the Agreement and holding you contractually liable for the Unpaid Balance Due, as shown on the front of this Agreement, or (2) canceling the sale and retaking immediate possession of the Vehicle and collecting from You all reasonable expenses incurred by Us in connection with retaking the Vehicle. Upon return or retaking of the Vehicle, You also agree to pay for any damages to the Vehicle that occurred while the Vehicle was in your possession or under your control and a daily rental charge of $99 for each day that the Vehicle remained in your possession provided that this Agreement was not conditioned upon the purchase of Your installment contract by a third party financial institution.
