Cancelling Consumer Contracts

What is Maine's Law on Cancelling Consumer Contracts

Consumers have a three-day period in which to cancel door-to-door or telemarketing sales contracts. This cancellation period does not apply to all contracts. Read more about this in Chapter 13 of the Attorney General's Consumer Law Guide.

10 MRS §1210-C establishes restrictions on automatic renewals of online subscriptions. It requires sellers to provide both "an easily accessible disclosure of the methods that the consumer may use to cancel the subscription" and "online cancellation of the subscription by any means of communicating information over a computer network." Sellers may not automatically renew a subscription unless they give the consumer clear and conspicuous notice "no less than 30 days and no more than 60 days before the cancellation deadline."
