*Va. Code Ann. § 59.1--21.3 *(2006)

§ 59.1--21.3. Cancellation of sale

(1) Except as provided in subsection (5), in addition to any right otherwise 
to revoke an offer, the buyer has the right

to cancel a home solicitation sale until midnight of the third business day 
after the day on which the buyer signs an

agreement or offer to purchase which complies with *§ 59.1--21.4.*

(2) Cancellation occurs when the buyer gives written notice of cancellation 
to the seller at the address stated in the

agreement or offer to purchase.

(3) Notice of cancellation, if given by mail, is given when it is deposited 
in a mailbox properly addressed and postage

prepaid.

(4) Notice of cancellation given by the buyer need not take a particular 
form and is sufficient if it indicates by any

form of written expression the 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

(a) The seller in good faith makes a substantial beginning of performance of 
the contract before the buyer gives

notice of cancellation, and

(b) In the case of goods, the goods cannot be returned to the seller in 
substantially as good condition as when

received by the buyer, and

(c) The buyer's emergency request is in a dated writing personally signed by 
the buyer and which expressly states

that the buyer understands that he is waiving his right to cancel the sale 
under the provisions of this act.

(6) Except as provided in subsection (5), any waiver or modification of a 
buyer's right to cancel is void and of no

effect. In the event the seller obtains from the buyer a waiver or 
modification of his right to cancel, the buyer's right to

cancel shall commence on the first business day following his learning that 
the waiver or modification is void and of no

effect.
