Read the first 7 Door-to-Door Sales Act flashcards as text

  1. A homeowner signs a door-to-door roofing contract on a Friday. Absent holidays, until when may the homeowner cancel?

    Answer: Midnight of the following Tuesday

    Business days exclude Sundays, so Saturday, Monday and Tuesday are the three business days, making Tuesday midnight the deadline.

  2. For the cancellation period, which day is NOT counted as a business day?

    Answer: Sunday

    A business day is any calendar day except Sunday and legal holidays.

  3. A buyer mails a cancellation notice on the last day of the cancellation period, and the contractor receives it four days later. Is the cancellation valid?

    Answer: Yes, a mailed notice is effective when deposited in the mail

    A mailed notice of cancellation takes effect when it is mailed, not when it arrives.

  4. How many copies of the Notice of Cancellation form must the seller give the buyer at signing?

    Answer: Two

    The buyer must get two copies of the cancellation form so one can be sent and one kept.

  5. A salesperson gives the sales presentation entirely in Spanish. In what language must the contract and cancellation notice be?

    Answer: Spanish, the language of the presentation

    The contract and notice must be in the same language used in the oral sales presentation.

  6. Which sale is most likely covered by the Door-to-Door (home solicitation) Sales Act?

    Answer: A salesperson visits the buyer's home and signs a $4,000 siding contract there

    The Act covers consumer sales solicited and agreed to at a place other than the seller's place of business, such as the buyer's home.

  7. May a seller charge a buyer a cancellation fee for cancelling within the cancellation period?

    Answer: No, cancellation must be free of any penalty

    A buyer who cancels on time owes no fee or penalty and gets back all payments.
