State Manufacturer-Dealer Laws Database

Topics include:

• dealer agreement
• inventory level requirement
• unlawful acts
• good cause termination
• termination notice
• cure period
• buy back
• dealer remedies
• transfer agreement
• warranty claims
• surplus parts return
• dealer indemnified

For companies wanting to track state manufacturer - dealer laws, AEM offers a comprehensive summary of these laws on its website – www.aem.org.

The database is a compendium of state statutes relating to the contractual relationships between equipment dealers and manufacturers, and highlights those laws on the books that cover farm, industrial, construction and outdoor power equipment for each state.

Some of the topics addressed under each state statute include: dealer agreement, inventory level requirement, unlawful acts, good cause termination, termination notice, cure period, buy back, dealer remedies, transfer agreement, warranty claims, surplus parts return and dealer indemnified.

Available by subscription, the web-based Summary of State Manufacturer - Dealer Laws database makes it easy to search for a manufacturer-dealer law whether it’s by state, effective year, product or topic. Because state code provisions change from year to year, AEM updates these summaries on a periodic basis.

Simplified Summaries

The information in this AEM database should not be construed as offering an absolute determination of a state’s laws covering the contractual relationships between equipment dealers and manufacturers, but rather is a simplified summarization of a body of law which is exceedingly detailed and often inconclusive in its application to a specific product.

The code provisions for each state are intended solely as an initial source and cover abridged sections of a state’s code. Many of these statutes have been the subjects of extensive litigation. However any such judicial interpretation is not covered in this 50-State Legislative Review.
