Home solicitation sale; restoration of down payment

Known as the Florida Commercial Weight-Loss Practices Act

The act spans §§ 501.001 to 501.997 (162 sections).

History.--s. 6, ch. 70-363; s. 2, ch. 85-5; s. 613, ch. 97-103.

Within 10 days after a home solicitation sale has been canceled or an offer to purchase revoked, the seller must tender to the buyer any payments made by the buyer and any note or other evidence of indebtedness. If the down payment includes goods traded in, the goods must be tendered in substantially as good condition as when received by the seller. If the seller fails to tender the goods, the buyer may elect to recover an amount equal to the trade-in allowance stated in the agreement. Until the seller has complied with the obligations imposed by this section, the buyer may retain possession of goods delivered to her or him by the seller and has a lien on the goods in her or his possession or control for any recovery to which she or he is entitled.
