seller, is given when it is deposited in a mailbox properly addressed and

indicates by any form of written expression the intention of the buyer not
to be bound by the home solicitation sale.

the seller to provide goods or services without delay because of an
emergency, and all of the following conditions are met:
(a) The seller in good faith makes a substantial beginning of performance
of the contract before the buyer gives notice of cancellation.

substantially as good condition as when received by the buyer.
