(A)(1) As used in this section, “excess wear and use waiver” means a contractual agreement that is part of, or a separate addendum to, a lease agreement for use of a motor vehicle, under which the lessor agrees, with or without a separate charge, to do one or both of the following:

(a) Cancel or waive all or part of amounts that may become due under a lessee's lease agreement as a result of excess wear and use of a motor vehicle;

(b) Cancel or waive amounts due for excess mileage.

(2) “Motor vehicle” has the same meaning as in section 4501.01 of the Revised Code and also includes utility vehicles and under-speed vehicles as defined in that section.

(B) The terms of a related motor vehicle lease shall not be conditioned upon the consumer's payment for any excess wear and use waiver.  Excess wear and use waivers may be discounted or given at no extra charge in connection with the purchase of other noncredit related goods or services.

(C) Notwithstanding any provision of the Revised Code to the contrary, an excess wear and use waiver is not an insurance product.
