Letter to Terminate Unsolicited Consumer Agreement , Sample Letter For Customer Who Wants To Cancel Contract: You usually cannot cancel a contract, but there are times when you can. You can cancel some contracts within certain time limits.
Some contracts must tell you about your right to cancel, how to cancel them, and where to send the cancellation notice. To protect yourself, do not sign a contract before reading and understanding it.
This letter may be used to cancel unsolicited consumer agreements.
A consumer agreement arises when a purchaser buys a product from a vendor (even if no written agreement is used). The document provides a simple template that enables a person to cancel the contract in accordance with their rights, to request confirmation of such from the supplier and to recover any deposit if paid.
If the purchaser enters the agreement after receiving an uninvited telephone call from the vendor, the agreement might qualify as “unsolicited”. In addition, if the vendor is engaging in door to door sales, and the purchaser enters the agreement after the vendor knocks on the purchaser’s door (again, uninvited), then the agreement might qualify as “unsolicited”.
You can modify and use these template letter if you wish to cancel a contract within the 14-day cooling off period.
