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

  1. A buyer signs a door-to-door contract on Wednesday, and Thursday is a legal holiday. What is the last day to cancel?

    Answer: Monday

    Skipping the Thursday holiday and Sunday, the business days are Friday, Saturday and Monday, so the deadline is midnight Monday.

  2. A contractor violates the Maryland Door-to-Door Sales Act. Under Maryland law, this violation is also treated as:

    Answer: An unfair or deceptive trade practice under the Consumer Protection Act

    Violations are unfair or deceptive trade practices and can be enforced under the Maryland Consumer Protection Act.

  3. A buyer goes to a home show at the county fairgrounds and signs a contract at a contractor's temporary booth. The cancellation right most likely:

    Answer: Applies, because the sale happened away from the seller's regular place of business

    Sales made at temporary locations, such as fairs or hotel rooms, away from the seller's regular business place are generally covered.

  4. Which transaction is typically EXCLUDED from home solicitation cancellation rules?

    Answer: A sale fully negotiated at the seller's permanent store

    Sales made at the seller's permanent place of business are not home solicitation sales.

  5. A buyer cancels on time, but the seller keeps the $500 deposit 'for paperwork.' The seller has:

    Answer: Violated the requirement to refund all payments

    The seller must return all payments and deposits after a timely cancellation.

  6. Who has the right to cancel under the Door-to-Door Sales Act?

    Answer: The buyer only

    The cancellation right belongs to the consumer buyer, not the seller.

  7. A salesperson must tell the buyer about the cancellation right. When must this happen?

    Answer: Orally at the time the buyer signs the contract, in addition to the written notice

    Under the federal rule, the seller must tell the buyer about the cancellation right orally at signing as well as give the written notice.
