# Cooling-off rule (right to cancel)

The customer's three business days to cancel a sale made at their home.

The federal rule reaches a sale of twenty five dollars or more at the customer's home and a hundred and thirty anywhere else it covers, the workplace included, and it counts visits the customer invited. What it owes is three business days and a notice of cancellation in duplicate. States build upward from there: Ohio bars the seller from starting the work at all during those days, California voids a storm-repair contract solicited within a week of the disaster, North Carolina makes a willful paperwork failure a misdemeanor. Every exclusion is narrow, and the two a service business could use, the emergency call and the repair visit, both begin with the customer having made the first call, so a business that sells at the door owns the whole apparatus. Read the ticket before pricing the revenue.

In numbers: A $6,000 job sold at the door and cancelled on day two is refunded in full within 10 business days, and in Ohio a crew that had already started collects nothing for the work.

Not dated: A definition is editorial: what a term means, why it matters, and an example. None of it reads a source that can go stale, so there is no date to take and a stamped one would be the build time wearing a costume.
