Cooling off rule - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

Cooling-off Rule is a rule that allows you to cancel a contract within a few days (usually three days) after signing it. As explained by the Federal Trade Commission�(FTC), the federal cooling-off rules gives the consumer three days to cancel certain sales for a full refund. The seller is required by law to inform the buyer at the time of the sale about their right to cancel and to provide the buyer with a copy of the sales contract and two copies of the cancellation form. The right to cancel lasts until the midnight of the third business day after the sale.��

The FTC�s cooling off rule applies to sale, lease, or rental of consumer goods and services having a value of at least $25, made anywhere other than the seller�s normal place of business. This rule includes sales made at trade shows, conventions and applies even when a salesperson makes a presentation in your home.�

However, it does not apply to sales that are made entirely online, via mail, or telephone. Additionally, this rule does not apply to insurance, securities, art/crafts sold at fairs, and automobiles sold directly at temporary locations such as auto shows.

Similarly, many states have laws regarding cooling-off rules. The laws in most states resemble the federal rules mentioned above, while some states have broader rules. For example, Ohio allows cooling-off periods for sales of business opportunity plans and hearing aids in addition to the consumer goods and services covered under the federal cooling-off rule.���
