The director may deny an application for a dealer's license or suspend, revoke, or cancel a dealer's
license after it has been granted for the following reasons:
1. For making any material misstatement by an applicant in the application for the license;
2. For willfully failing to comply with the provisions of this chapter or with any rule adopted by the
director;
-1-
3. For knowingly permitting any person to sell or exchange, or offer or attempt to sell or
exchange any motor vehicle except for the licensed motor vehicle dealer by whom the person
is employed;

39-22-05. Bond required. Before the issuance of a motor vehicle dealer's license, as provided by
law, the applicant for the license shall furnish a continuous surety bond executed by the applicant as
principal and executed by a surety company, licensed and qualified to do business within the state of
North Dakota, which bond must run to the state of North Dakota, be in the amount of twenty-five
thousand dollars and be conditioned upon the faithful compliance by the applicant as a dealer, if the
license is issued to the dealer, that such dealer will comply with all of the statutes of the state of North
Dakota regulating or being applicable to the business of the dealer as a dealer in motor vehicles, and
indemnifying any person dealing or transacting business with the dealer in connection with any motor
vehicle from any loss or damage occasioned by the failure of the dealer to comply with any of the
provisions of this title, including the furnishing of a proper and valid certificate of title to the motor vehicle
involved in any such transaction, and that the bond shall be filed with the director prior to the issuance of
license provided by law. The aggregate liability of the surety of all persons, however, may in no event
exceed the amount of the bond. Any third party sustaining injury within the terms of the bond may
proceed against the principal and surety without making the state a party to the proceedings. The bond
may be canceled by the surety, as to future liability, by giving written notice by certified mail, addressed to
the principal at the address stated in the bond, and to the department. Thirty days after the mailing of the
notice, the bond is null and void as to any liability thereafter arising. The surety remains liable, subject to
