ORS 646A.306 Repurchase of inventory by supplier; effect of new retailer agreement

A supplier shall repurchase the inventory of a retailer, as if the supplier had terminated the retailer agreement, as follows:

Upon the death of a retailer whose business is owned as a tenancy by the entirety, at the option of the spouse or the heir or heirs of the retailer.

Upon the death of a stockholder of a corporation operating as a retailer, at the option of the heir or heirs of the stockholder and upon the consent of the board of directors.

The surviving spouse or the heir or heirs may exercise the option under this section not later than one year from the date of the death of the retailer or the stockholder.

Nothing in ORS 646A.300 to 646A.322 requires the repurchase of inventory by the supplier:

If the supplier and the corporation acting as a retailer enter into a new retailer agreement to operate the retail dealership.

If the supplier and the surviving spouse or the heir or heirs of the retailer enter into a new retailer agreement to operate the retail dealership.
