Ohio Home Solicitation Sales Act

Most states have
laws that protect consumers of household goods/services from being taken
advantage of during a home solicitation sale. In Ohio, when conducting sales that include
meeting a prospective purchaser of services or goods at their home and in other
defined circumstances, the Home Solicitation Sales Act must be complied with.
At the time a sales contract is explained and presented to customer, it must be
accompanied by a 3 day notice of the right to rescind the contract. If the Act
is not complied with, the customer may rescind the transaction (even after
services are completed or goods received) and is relieved of any obligation of
payment. Other requirements under this Ohio
law require a business to:

Give customer a signed copy of the sales contract with 2 copies of a Notice of
Cancellation attached; Complete both copies of the Notice of Cancellation and
give to customer. Make your own copies of both the executed contract and the
Notices of Cancellation

Inform each customer orally at the time the sales
agreement is presented/signed, of the 3 day right to cancel. The oral statement
must be similar to the attached written Notice of Cancellation.
