When acquiring a vehicle through a loan or lease, many customers concern themselves with the potential financial implications should the vehicle suffer a total loss before the loan or lease is fully repaid. Recognizing this concern, the GAP CHOICE Program Loan/Lease Deficiency Waiver Addendum, detailed in Form GC 021104, offers a solution. This addendum acts as a safety net for customers by waiving a portion of the borrower's or lessee's remaining indebtedness in the event of a total loss of the vehicle. It meticulously outlines the necessary customer and covered vehicle information, alongside dealership and lender details, while setting forth the terms under which this waiver operates. Crucially, this document elucidates the period of coverage, the maximum loan amount relative to the vehicle's MSRP or NADA retail value, and the conditions under which the addendum can be canceled or transferred. Moreover, it addresses the obligations of the customer, such as maintaining primary insurance, and the procedure to follow in the unfortunate occurrence of a claim. The document stresses that the purchase of this waiver is entirely voluntary and highlights that it is not a prerequisite for obtaining credit. It takes into account customer rights, including the ability to seek GAP protection from alternative sources and the process for cancelation of the addendum, establishing clear expectations for all parties involved.

DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this Deficiency Waiver Addendum the following terms shall mean:
Customer means the purchaser of the Vehicle, as listed in the application section of this Addendum.
Vehicle means the
Date of Loss means the date on which the actual physical loss or damage occurred to the Vehicle. If such date is indeterminable, the Date of Loss shall be either the date established by the primary insurance carrier or the date the occurrence was reported to the police, whichever is the earlier.
Actual Cash Value means the Customer’s Primary Insurance gross settlement, less the Primary Insurance deductible not exceeding $1,000, or the National Automobile Dealer's Association (NADA) Official Used Car Guide’s “Retail” value on the date of loss (prior to the physical damage or theft), whichever is the greater. All valuations will be based on the best information available on the vehicle's options and condition.
Total Loss means a total or constructive total loss as defined by the individual Customer’s primary automobile physical damage carrier. If no primary physical damage carrier exists, then a Total Loss shall mean when the repair cost exceeds the Actual Cash Value or, in the event of a theft, when the Vehicle has not been recovered after a minimum period of 30 days from the date of the original police theft report.
Unpaid Net Balance is defined for the sole purpose of claims calculations, per the original retail installment sales contract or loan agreement, as the original “Amount Financed” divided by “Number of Payments” multiplied by number of months remaining from the Date of Loss to the final payment due date less all cancelable item refunds. No consideration will be given for any deferred, late or delinquent payments.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
a)No coverage is provided for any Installment Sales Contract/Loan/Lease when the original term exceeds 72 months.
b)No coverage is provided for that portion of the Unpaid Net Balance that results from the amount financed/lease cap cost exceeding the percentage of the MSRP on New vehicles and NADA “Retail” on Used vehicles selected on the front of this waiver, at the inception date of the Installment Sales Contract/Loan/Lease. These Installment Sales Contracts/Loans/Leases will not be disqualified from coverage, however, the Unpaid Net Balance will be determined based on this maximum limit.
c)Primary Insurance: Should the Customer not have collectible physical damage insurance on the Date of Loss, it is the responsibility of the Customer to advise Comprehensive Auto Resources Company, Inc. in writing immediately when the loss is discovered and Comprehensive Auto Resources Company, Inc. will calculate the Actual Cash Value of the Vehicle immediately prior to the loss using the book values stated in the “Actual Cash Value” definition.
d)This Deficiency Waiver Addendum is transferable only in the event the original loan is assumed by a third party and is subject to a $50.00 transfer fee.
e)This Deficiency Waiver Addendum is cancelable upon completion of the GAP Cancellation form at the originating dealer and is subject to the effective date of the cancellation not being prior to the date the cancellation form is completed at the originating dealer. This addendum may be flat canceled within thirty (30) days of the effective date, after thirty (30) days any refunds will be calculated at the Rule of 78s, unless otherwise required by applicable state law. However, in the event of Total Loss to the covered vehicle, the Addendum will be deemed as fully earned and therefore, no refund will be due. All cancellations are subject to a $50.00 cancellation fee.
f)This Addendum shall be void if there is any change in the terms and conditions of the installment sales contract/loan/lease, change of assignee or any material facts have been concealed or misrepresented, or the case of fraud.
g)This Addendum may not necessarily pay off the entire Unpaid Net Balance due by the customer.
h)All claims calculations under this waiver will strictly adhere to the terms and conditions of this waiver, and therefore such calculations may not match or equal the calculation determined by the original lender.
i)No payment will be made for any vehicle unless this Addendum has been reported to Comprehensive Auto Resources Company, Inc. by the dealer/lender.
