§ 201-7. Contracts; effect of rescission


(a) Where goods or services having a sale price of twenty-five dollars
($ 25) or more are sold or contracted to be sold to a buyer, as a result of,
or in connection with, a contact with or call on the buyer or resident at
his residence either in person or by telephone, that consumer may avoid the
contract or sale by notifying, in writing, the seller within three full
business days following the day on which the contract or sale was made and
by returning or holding available for return to the seller, in its original
condition, any merchandise received under the contract or sale. Such notice
of rescission shall be effective upon depositing the same in the United
States mail or upon other service which gives the seller notice of
rescission.

(b) At the time of the sale or contract the buyer shall be provided with:

(1) A fully completed receipt or copy of any contract pertaining to such
sale, which is in the same language (Spanish, English, etc.) as that
principally used in the oral sales presentation, and also in English, and
which shows the date of the transaction and contains the name and address of
the seller, and in immediate proximity to the space reserved in the contract
for the signature of the buyer or on the front page of the receipt if a
contract is not used and in bold face type of a minimum size of ten points,
a statement in substantially the following form:

"You, the buyer, may cancel this transaction at any time prior to
midnight of the third business day after the date of this
transaction. See the attached notice of cancellation form for an
explanation of this right."

(2) A completed form in duplicate, captioned "Notice of Cancellation,"
which shall be attached to the contract or receipt and easily detachable,
and which shall contain in ten-point bold face type the following
information and statements in the same language (Spanish, English, etc.) as
that used in the contract:

Notice of Cancellation

(Enter Date of Transaction)


You may cancel this transaction, without any penalty or obligation,
within three business days from the above date.

If you cancel, any property traded in, any payments made by you under the
contract or sale, and any negotiable instrument executed by you will be
returned within ten business days following receipt by the seller of your
cancellation notice, and any security interest arising out of the
transaction will be cancelled.

If you cancel, you must make available to the seller at your residence in
substantially as good condition as when received, any goods delivered to you
under this contract or sale; or you may, if you wish, comply with the
instructions of the seller regarding the return shipment of the goods at the
seller's expense and risk.

If you do make the goods available to the seller and the seller does not
pick them up within twenty days of the date of your notice of cancellation,
you may retain or dispose of the goods without any further obligation. If
you fail to make the goods available to the seller, or if you agree to
return the goods to the seller and fail to do so, then you remain liable for
performance of all obligations under the contract.

To cancel this transaction, mail or deliver a signed and dated copy of
this cancellation notice or any other written notice, or send a telegram, to
(name of seller), at (address of seller's place of business) not later than
midnight of (date).

I hereby cancel this transaction.

or property traded in, in substantially as good condition as when received
by the seller; (iii) cancel and return any negotiable instrument executed by
