(1) (a) In a consumer credit sale, no seller shall offer or give a rebate, discount or otherwise pay value to the buyer in consideration of the buyer giving the seller the names of third parties, or otherwise assist the seller in making a sale to a third party when the earning of the rebate, discount or other value is contingent upon an event subsequent to the time of the sale.
(b) In a consumer lease, no lessor shall offer or give a rebate, discount or otherwise pay value to the lessee in consideration of the lessee giving to the lessor the names of third parties, or otherwise aiding the lessor in leasing to a third party when the earning of the rebate, discount or other value is contingent upon an event subsequent to the time of the lease.
(2) If a buyer or lessee is induced by a violation of this section to enter into a consumer credit sale or consumer lease, the agreement shall be unenforceable by the seller or lessor and the buyer or lessee, at the buyer's or lessee's option, may rescind the agreement or retain the goods delivered and the benefit of any services performed, without any obligation to pay for them.
