A contract is a contract. Once you sign it does not make any difference if it is 30 minutes, 30 hours, or 30 weeks. There is no right of return absent an agreement that allows it.

There is no right to return a used car once it leaves the lot. Unfortunately, once a contract is signed by both parties, it is enforceable whether you change your mind or not.

There are provisions under the law in which the rejection of merchandise is permitted. Usually, it's formally done and generally requires the assistance of an attorney. Find a local consumer attorney versed in the uniformed commercial code and warranty law.
