Door To Door Sales
Com. Law § 14-302 — until midnight of the third business day to cancel
Until midnight of the third business day. A door to door seller in Maryland has to give the buyer a completed receipt or contract in the language of the sales pitch, with a statement beside the signature line that the buyer may cancel at any time before midnight of the third business day after the transaction, and a detachable Notice of Cancellation form in duplicate.
On a valid cancellation the seller refunds all payments, returns any trade in, and cancels any note the buyer signed, within 10 business days. If the buyer makes the goods available and the seller does not pick them up within 20 days of the notice, the buyer may keep or dispose of them. A seller who skips any of this, misrepresents the right to cancel, or comes to the door without first stating who the solicitor is, whom the solicitor represents, and what is being sold, commits an unfair or deceptive trade practice under the Consumer Protection Act.
