Mr. Jones was contacted one day by an aluminum siding salesman. The salesman told Mr. Jones he would sell the siding at a low price because Mr. Jones had been selected as a Model House to show off the aluminum siding in the neighborhood. Mr. Jones signed the contract to have the aluminum siding put on his home. Sometime later Mr. Jones discovered that several of his neighbors had been offered the same deal. He also discovered that he didnt save any money on the aluminum siding. Mr. Brown was contacted by a salesman who said he had a fantastic offer on magazine subscriptions if Mr. Brown would buy right now. The offer could not be extended another day. The offer sounded so good Mr. Brown bought subscriptions to his favorite magazines. Mr. Brown did not receive the magazines and the salesman was not to be found. door-to-do- door-to-do- There Ought to be a Law! Utah has a cooling-of- f period of 72 hours for sales to allow you to determine door-to-do- BOWLING if the transaction was wise and allows you to decide if you made a good deal. Even though the state provides the cooling-of- f period which gives protection for the consumer, two inherent problems with sales that come under this provision are that although you may wish to cancel the contract you may not be able to locate the salesman to cancel the contract or you may not have proof that you did cancel. The Trade Commission recommends that you have documentation on the cancellation, either by registered mail or signature of a person representing the company. If you determine that the deal is bad or is not what you first thought it was, and if the sale was unsolicited, if it took place at your home or a location other than at the established business location of the company, you may cancel the contract without any penalties if done within the 72 hours.
