47-18-504. Contracts Nondelivery of goods Savings claims.
(a) Every contract shall provide that if any goods, except furniture or custom manufactured goods, ordered by the member from the buying club, are not delivered to the member or available for pick up by the member at the location where the order was placed within six (6) weeks from the date the member placed an order for such goods, then any payment by the member for such goods in advance of delivery shall, upon the member's request, be fully refunded, unless a predetermined delivery date has been furnished to the member in writing at the time the member ordered such goods, and the goods are delivered to the member or available for pick up by that date. Every contract must disclose that delivery dates for furniture or custom manufactured goods cannot be predicted, if such is the case.
(b) Every contract shall provide that all savings claims made by the buying club are based on price comparisons with retailers doing business in the trade area in which the claims are made if the same or comparable items are offered for sale in the trade area and with prices at which the merchandise is actually sold or offered for sale.
(c) Any contract which does not comply with subsections (a) and (b) shall be void and unenforceable.
