10-1-679.1. Legislative purposes and policies

(a) This article shall be liberally construed and applied to promote its underlying remedial purposes and policies.

(b) The underlying purposes and policies of this article are:

(1) To promote the compelling interest of the public in fair business relations between recreational vehicle dealers and grantors and in the continuation of recreational vehicle dealerships on a fair basis;

(2) To protect recreational vehicle dealers against unfair treatment by grantors who inherently have superior economic power and superior bargaining power in the negotiations of recreational vehicle dealerships;

(3) To provide recreational vehicle dealers with rights and remedies in addition to those existing by contract or common law; and

(4) To govern all franchise agreements for recreational vehicle dealerships, including any renewals or amendments, to the full extent consistent with the Constitutions of Georgia and the United States.

(c) The effect of this article may not be varied by contract or agreement. Any contract or agreement purporting to do so is void and unenforceable to that extent only.
