Your Right to Cancel a Purchase in South Dakota

A door-to-door sale is a sale, lease or rental of goods or services of $25 or more that the seller personally solicits (even if invited) where the buyer agrees somewhere other than the seller's place of business. The seller must give a receipt or contract stating that the buyer may cancel before midnight of the third business day after the transaction, attach a notice of cancellation form, and tell the buyer orally of the right to cancel; failing to do so, or misrepresenting the right, is a deceptive practice. According to the Division of Consumer Protection, the buyer cancels by mailing a copy of the notice of cancellation and receipt before midnight of the third business day, and the seller must refund the money and return any trade-in within 10 days; purchases under $25, purchases at home parties, and purchases that began at the seller's place of business are not covered.
