activities, including the collection of electronic signatures, |
via the Internet and deliver vehicles to a customer at the |
address provided in the customer's application, if the sale, |
lease, or delivery is requested by the customer in writing and |
only after the identity of the customer has been verified at |
the time of delivery. Any documents that State or federal law |
require to be signed in person may be signed at the time of |
delivery without constituting an off site sale that is subject |
to this Section. If a vehicle is delivered to an address other |
than the licensed dealer's established place of business, the |
date of the sale shall be that date on which the application |
for title is signed by the purchaser of the vehicle.
