   3. If the dealer cannot determine the total distance the vehicle has been driven, or a past distance/date, a statement that “the total distance the vehicle has been driven is unknown and may be substantially higher than the reading shown on the odometer.”
9. An itemized list of the charges the customer is required to pay (including any fees and levies).

    1. If CAMVAP is available:
       
       CANADIAN MOTOR VEHICLE ARBITRATION PLAN
       The Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan may be available to resolve disputes concerning alleged manufacturer’s defects or implementation of the manufacturer’s new motor vehicle warranty.
    2. If CAMVAP is NOT available:
       
       CANADIAN MOTOR VEHICLE ARBITRATION PLAN NOT AVAILABLE
       The manufacturer of this vehicle is not a participant in the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan. Therefore, the program under that Plan is not available to resolve disputes concerning alleged manufacturer’s defects or implementation of the manufacturer’s new motor vehicle warranty.
    
    Note: CAMVAP Statements are only required if the vehicle is the current model year or one of the previous four, or has been driven less than 160,000 km.
20. All restrictions, limitations and conditions imposed on the buyer, stated in a clear, comprehensible and prominent manner.
21. An itemized list of all repairs under the contract the dealer has made or will make, and the cost to be paid by the buyer.
22. If a current Safety Standards Certificate under the Highway Traffic Act is provided for the vehicle, the following Safety Standards Certificate (SSC) Statement in bold print:
    
    SAFETY STANDARDS CERTIFICATE
    A Safety Standards Certificate is only an indication that the motor vehicle met certain basic standards of vehicle safety on the date of inspection.
23. If the dealer is selling the vehicle on an “as is” basis, the following
    Vehicle Sold “As Is” Statement in bold print:
    
    VEHICLE SOLD “AS IS” The motor vehicle sold under this contract is being sold “as is” and is not represented as being in road worthy condition, mechanically sound or maintained at any guaranteed level of quality. The vehicle may not be fit for use as a means of transportation and may require substantial repairs at the buyer’s expense. It may not be possible to register the vehicle to be driven in its current condition.
    
    Note: Dealers cannot sell a vehicle “as is” if an SSC has been issued for the vehicle.
    Note: If a vehicle is sold “as is” the “as is” statement must be initialled by the purchaser.
24. Any required disclosure statement related to a vehicle’s previous use, history and/or condition.
25. A statement of any particular facts respecting the vehicle that the buyer considers material to the purchase. Example: if the purchaser requests a specific disclosure such as “has this car ever been used as a tow vehicle?” The dealer must provide the appropriate information. If the dealer can’t tell them with certainty, say so. In our example, if the dealer can assure the customer the vehicle has never had a hitch installed, put it in writing. The dealer is responsible for ensuring the contract is signed by the parties, by the salesperson and that the buyer receives a copy immediately after signing.

Note: There must be a separate contract for each vehicle sold.
