(a) The lessor shall disclose to the consumer the information required by this part. In a transaction involving more than one (1) consumer, a lessor need disclose only to one (1) of the consumers who is primarily obligated. In a transaction involving more than one (1) lessor, only one (1) lessor need make the required disclosures. (b) The disclosures required under this part shall be made no later than the time that the lessor delivers the merchandise to the consumer, or upon consummation of the rental-purchase agreement, whichever is earlier. (c) (1) The disclosures shall be made using words and phrases of common meaning, in a form that the consumer may keep. (2) The disclosures required under § 47-18-604 may be made a part of the rental-purchase agreement or provided on a separate form. (3) The required disclosures shall be set forth clearly and conspicuously. The disclosures shall be placed all together, on the front side of the rental-purchase agreement or on a separate form. The form setting forth the required disclosures must contain spaces for the consumer's signature and the date appearing immediately below the disclosures. The requirements of this section shall not have been complied with unless the consumer signs the statement and receives, at the time disclosures are made, a legible copy of the signed statement. The inclusion in the required disclosures of a statement that the consumer received a legible copy of those disclosures shall create a rebuttable presumption of receipt thereof. (d) Information required to be disclosed may be given in the form of estimates and shall be identified as such when the lessor does not know the exact information. (e) If a disclosure becomes inaccurate as the result of any act, occurrence, or agreement after delivery of the required disclosures, the resulting inaccuracy is not a violation of this part. (f) At the lessor's option, information in addition to that required by § 47-18-604 may be disclosed if the additional information is not stated, utilized, or placed in a manner which will contradict, obscure, or distract attention from the required information.
