intention of the buyer not to be bound by the home solicitation sale.

(5) The buyer may not cancel a home solicitation sale if the buyer requests
the seller to provide goods or services without delay because of an
emergency, and

of the contract before the buyer gives notice of cancellation, and

provide goods or services without delay in an emergency, the seller must
present to the buyer and obtain his signature to a written agreement or
offer to purchase or his signature to a statement executed simultaneously
with and attached to the written agreement or offer to purchase, which
written statement, offer to purchase or attached statement, designates as

contains a statement of the buyer's rights which shall comply with either
paragraph 2 or paragraph 3 of this section.

(2) The statement must:

(a) appear under the conspicuous caption: "BUYER'S RIGHT TO CANCEL," and

(b) read as follows: "If this agreement was solicited at your residence
and you do not want the goods or services, you may cancel this agreement by
mailing a notice to the seller by certified or registered mail. The notice
must say that you do not want the goods or services and must be mailed
before midnight on the third business day after you sign this agreement. The

(5%) of the cash price or the amount of the cash down payment whichever is
the lesser."

(3) A home solicitation sales contract which contains the notice of
cancellation in the form and content required by rule or regulation of the
Federal Trade Commission shall comply with the requirements of this section
if it contains information to the consumer concerning his right to cancel at
least equal to that required by subparagraph (2).

(4) Until the seller has complied with this section, the buyer may cancel
the home solicitation sale by notifying the seller in any manner and by any
means of his intention to cancel.
