  1. After receiving a timely cancellation, within how many business days must the seller refund the buyer's payments?

    Answer: 10

    The seller must refund all payments and return any trade-in within 10 business days of getting the cancellation notice.

  2. A buyer cancels a door-to-door sale and still has goods the seller delivered. What must the buyer do?

    Answer: Make the goods available to the seller in substantially the same condition

    The buyer only has to make the goods available for pickup in about the same condition they were delivered.

  3. After cancellation, the seller never picks up the goods it delivered or arranges for their return. What happens after the set period?

    Answer: The buyer may keep the goods with no further obligation

    If the seller doesn't pick up or arrange return of the goods within the required period after cancellation, the buyer may keep them.

  4. A homeowner has a burst pipe flooding the basement and calls a plumber to the home for immediate repairs. How can the 3-day cancellation right be waived?

    Answer: By the buyer's own separate, dated and signed personal statement describing the emergency

    A buyer can waive the right for a real personal emergency only with a separate handwritten, signed and dated statement, not a printed form.

  5. A contractor's contract uses a pre-printed checkbox saying 'Buyer waives the right to cancel.' Is this an effective waiver?

    Answer: No, pre-printed waiver forms are not permitted

    Waivers must be the buyer's own separate statement for a real emergency; printed waiver forms are not allowed.

  6. Where must the buyer's cancellation notice appear in the contract?

    Answer: In a prominent statement, such as bold type near the buyer's signature

    The contract must state the buyer's right to cancel conspicuously, in bold type of the required size near the signature space.

  7. During the cancellation period, a salesperson tells the buyer the contract is 'final once signed.' This is:

    Answer: A prohibited misrepresentation of the buyer's cancellation rights

    Misrepresenting or failing to tell the buyer about their right to cancel is a violation.
