How long does a homeowner have to cancel a home improvement contract in Arizona?

In Arizona, a buyer may cancel a home solicitation sale (goods or services personally solicited at the buyer’s home without prior invitation, appointment or consent) until midnight of the third business day after signing, by written notice in person, by telegram or by mail to the seller’s cancellation address. The agreement is not effective unless it carries a conspicuous Notice to Buyer and an attached, completed Notice of Cancellation form in duplicate, in the language of the sales presentation, saying the buyer may cancel within three business days. Within ten days after cancellation the seller must return the buyer’s payments and any note or other evidence of indebtedness, and goods traded in. If the seller performed services before cancellation, the seller may keep a cancellation fee of five percent of the cash price, fifteen dollars or the cash down payment, whichever is less, and must restore any altered property. The buyer may not cancel if the buyer asked for goods or services without delay because of an emergency, the seller in good faith made a substantial beginning of performance before notice of cancellation, and the goods cannot be returned in substantially as good condition. A contract term waiving the right to cancel is void. The federal cooling-off rule separately gives three business days to cancel many sales made at the buyer’s home. This is A.R.S. §§ 44-5001, 44-5002, 44-5004, 44-5006, 44-5007.

How Seayora uses this rule

An estimate on Seayora carries its own terms and contract text, and the customer’s approval is recorded with its date, so the day a cancellation period starts is on file for both the contractor and the homeowner.
