Terms Used In Montana Code 30-14-1207

• Consumer: means a person:

  (a)who purchases a wheelchair from a wheelchair dealer or manufacturer for purposes other than resale;

  (b)to whom the wheelchair is transferred for purposes other than resale if the transfer occurred before the expiration of an express warranty applicable to the wheelchair;

  (c)who may enforce the warranty; or

  (d)who leases a wheelchair from a wheelchair lessor under a written lease. See Montana Code 30-14-1202

• Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
• Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
• Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. ^{Source: U.S. Courts}
