If you sign the front of a contract are you obligated to what is written on the back of the contract. I have a feeling I am about to get screwed by Suzuki. I am giong to call them tomorrow but I think they are going to try to screw me out of $1200.00

In general, yes, you are obligated to ANYthing that is printed (or hand-written) on that paper, both sides. This is why you are advised (in most states anyway) that you have a 2- or 3-day grace period: so you can takeit home to read the 'fine print.'

I will see what they say tomorrow. If they take care of me or if they play dumb and screw me. If they try to screw me I will have a new post tomorrow.

Well, not so fast. There is wiggle room in the Uniform Commercial Code. You are at a slight disadvantage to the "greater knowledge" of the dealer, so he is held to a higher standard. There may also have been some binding verbal commitments made that contradict the contract. The point is that you are not automatically screwed. If you go to court with a sound argument, there is a coin-toss chance the court will invalidate your contract based on whatever you can come up with. BS may win the day, but you'll need to know a little about the law so you can plan your approach.


Lex (may I call you 'Lex?') you are entirely correct. When I was in the industry (service dispatcher about 25 years ago), it was common knowledge that the dealership had a 75% DISadvantage just walking into the courtroom. So, NVHunter, if you go in with a decent case, you have a significant advantage.

Another thing that many people have wrong: you mention 'verbal commitments...' which amount to a 'verbal contract.' Verbal contracts are NOT invalid! They are, however, difficult to prove. It's your word against theirs. Now if you have a reliable witness, who HEARD them make the v.c. to you... you just may win the day!

Best of luck!

I don't want to B.S. anyone and I might be getting worked up about nothing. Let me explain. When I purchased an ATV for my wife and myself and I got the warranty. They told me if I did not use it I would get my money back. Well the warranty was up 7/1/07 and they give you 60 days to clam your money. Well I forgot to send it in July so I sent in my paperwork sometime in August. I haven't received my money yet. And now its way past the 60 days. the if they say they never got my clam or if I submitted something wrong I wanted to know what is my best course of action.

You fail at making contracts.

I didn't screw up I had 60 days to file and I sent it in within the 60 days. But not hearing back from them for so long has me concerned that they did not get my paperwork or I filled out something wrong.
