Walk It Through: The Seller At The Door
A sale signed at the kitchen table, the three days to cancel, and a deposit that does not come back.
A seller at the door signs you up for a new roof at the kitchen table.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
One sale at home, one written cancellation and one deposit. The emergency waiver of the right to cancel, class actions, and whether a particular sale falls outside the act's definition are not covered here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
