Home Solicitation Sales Act

The Home Solicitation Sales Act governs consumer sales arising from solicitations made at the buyer's home, and it centers on a right of cancellation that the buyer may exercise after signing. It requires the seller to complete the sales agreement before the buyer signs it, to include prescribed notice of the cancellation right along with a notice of cancellation form, and it spells out what the seller and the buyer each owe the other once a sale is cancelled; it also restricts the promissory notes or other evidence of indebtedness a buyer may be asked to give in such a transaction. Referral schemes that promise a buyer a commission or rebate for supplying the names of prospective purchasers are prohibited, sales of insurance are excepted from the act's coverage, and a violation is treated as an unfair or deceptive act or practice.
