(a) Buying and selling service is an arrangement by a motor club whereby the holder of a service contract with a motor club is aided in any way in the purchase or sale of an automobile.
(b) (1) If a motor club offers a service that refers members to a new motor vehicle dealer for the purchase of a new motor vehicle, and the dealer pays the motor club any compensation, including, but not limited to, an advertising, promotional, or marketing fee, any advertisement of that service shall clearly and conspicuously disclose that the dealer has paid the fee and shall have the following statement: “All new cars arranged for sale are subject to availability and a price prearranged with the selling franchised new car dealer.”
(2) In a printed advertisement, the disclosures required by paragraph (1) shall be in not less than 10-point bold type and shall be textually segregated from the other portions of the advertisement.
(3) The disclosures required by paragraph (1) do not apply to general advertisements of a motor club that merely list an auto buying service as one of several services offered by the motor club and that do not provide any details of the auto buying service.
