THE “THREE-DAY RIGHT TO CANCEL”

The North Dakota home solicitation sales law gives consumers a powerful right to cancel sales transactions of more than $25 that are made away from a permanent place of business, even if a written contract is signed. A consumer has three business days to cancel any sales contract made under such conditions. If the consumer is over 65, there is a 15 day right to cancel purchases over $50. The right to cancel does not apply to vehicle purchases.
