36P: Supplier's obligations on cancellation of uninvited direct sale agreement

You could also call this:

“What sellers must do when you cancel a door-to-door sale”

If you cancel an uninvited direct sale agreement as described in section 36M, the supplier must give you back all the money you paid them right away. This happens as soon as you cancel the agreement. The supplier can’t keep any of your money or wait to return it. They have to repay you immediately.
