A franchisor may reasonably and periodically audit a franchisee to determine the validity of paid claims or chargebacks for customer or dealer incentives. An audit of incentive payments may apply only for a period of one year after the claims are paid to the dealer. The limitations of this section do not apply if the franchisor can prove fraud.
