Statute Text
Cancellation of home solicitation sale; notice; exception.
(1) Except as provided in
subsection (5) of this section, in addition to any other right to revoke an
offer or rescind a transaction that the buyer may have, the buyer has the right
to cancel a home solicitation sale until 12 midnight of the third business day
after the day on which the buyer signs an agreement or offer to purchase that
complies with ORS 83.710 to 83.750 or pays by cash or check.
(2) Cancellation
occurs when the buyer gives written notice of cancellation to the seller at the
address stated in the agreement or offer to purchase.
(3) Notice of
cancellation, if given by mail, is given when it is deposited in a mailbox
properly addressed and postage prepaid.
(4) Notice of
cancellation given by the buyer need not take a particular form and is
sufficient if it indicates by a form of written expression the intention of the
buyer not to be bound by the home solicitation sale.
(5) The buyer may
not cancel a home solicitation sale if the buyer initiates the contact with the
seller and the buyer, in a separate signed writing not furnished by the seller,
requests that the seller provide goods or services without delay because of an
emergency, describes the emergency and expressly acknowledges and waives the
right to cancel the sale within three business days, and:
(a) The seller in
good faith makes a substantial beginning of performance of the contract before
the buyer gives notice of cancellation; and
(b) In case of
goods, the goods cannot be returned to the seller in substantially as good
condition as when received by the buyer. [1971 c.744 §21(2); 2005 c.223 §2]
