(1) explains the difference between a service contract and a warranty;
(2) discloses the maker of or obligor on the service contract;
(3) describes the relationship between the maker and the seller of the service contract;

However, a motor vehicle dealer may disclaim or limit implied warranties as otherwise allowed by law, regardless of the make or model of the motor vehicle, if the motor vehicle dealer is merely the seller, not the maker, of the service contract and does not otherwise extend any written warranties on the motor vehicle that is purchased.
(d) In this section, “maker” means the person that makes, frames, and executes a service contract and assumes any obligation due to the buyer, but does not include a motor vehicle dealer who merely sells the service contract as the agent of a service contract company doing business in this state.
