Yes, Nissan's verbage and descriptions in many areas are not as clear
or as helpful as they could be. They may evolve toward better wording.
Some things, like the warranty issues, seem to be still changing.
It is not improper to question incomplete or unclear wording, even there
are those who believe they know what the wording "must" mean.
Try to ignore their impatience with the "humanoids".
I had the same question myself, and several people have gotten the
same answer from Nissan via phone or chat, that the $99 will be refunded
by Nissan, not the dealer, at some point in time, presumably to everybody.
However, it would be nice if Nissan really made that clear in print.
Since the people making the Nissan web site seem to uable to spell,
punctuate, or even capatalize the first letter of a sentence (as ine the
AV waiver text), it is sad, but not surprizing, that many things are not clear.
