If the seller cant deliver the product by the time that the last payment is made, then they are liable.

The Feds and California will not go into detail as to what restocking fee and layaway means. This is usually done in a contract between two parties.
Like I said before, if the terms are not defined in the contract, it's up in the air as to what it really means.
As for me, I still stand my ground as to what the two terms mean. You cannot restock something that was never in possession by the customer and you cannot put a product in layaway when it is not finished.
Unless someone is willing to post the definitions on the contract, it is pointless trying to argue it. In civil court here in the US, person only needs to prove 51% to win the case. If it is not defined in the contract, chances are the customer would win if he/she decided to take it to court.
