HB 6482 Summary

• Extends the cancellation period for sales contracts of goods, services, or memberships valued at $500 or more from 3 business days to 10 business days when the buyer was offered more than $25 in value to attend a sales promotion.

• Requires that contracts include a prominent "Notice to Purchaser" in boldface at least 4 points larger than body text, informing buyers of their 10-business-day cancellation right and providing seller contact information.

• Specifies that cancellation occurs when the buyer mails or delivers written notice to the seller, with postmark date determining timeliness if mailed.

• Maintains exceptions preventing cancellation when the seller has substantially begun performance, the buyer signed a dated handwritten waiver for emergency services, or goods cannot be returned in substantially the same condition.

• Allows buyers to keep gifts given as inducements to attend sales promotions regardless of whether they cancel the contract.
