I put $1000 on a credit card as a good faith gesture at a motorcycle dealer. The salesman said it was nonrefundable. The business manager said it was refundable. The salesman wrote 'non-refundable' on a printed layaway receipt. I didn't sign anything except the credit card slip. This is for a stock motorcyle on its way to the dealership from the manufacturer due in about four weeks. It is not a special order. No purchase contract has been signed.
California civil code 2982.7 indicates to me that I should get my deposit back if I do not decide to go forward with the purchase. Do I have a legal basis for getting my deposit back if I've changed my mind?
