Legal Question in Consumer Law in New Jersey

Cancelation of final trade contract

Being a New Jersey resident I

purchased a water purifier devise

from the New York company which

sent a salesman to my house to

demonstrate a quality of my tap

water. I signed a contract which was

final. A day later I figured out that

the salesman used a tricky way to

convince me to buy his product: he

contaminated a sample of my tap

water with iron using electrolysis. I

called the company within 42 hours

to cancel the contract and to the

credit card to pit my payment on the

dispute. My questions are: 1) Can

be final contract be canceled within

three days in NY state, as it is a law

in New Jersey? 2) Is a New Jersey

Law (72 hours for cancelation) can

be applied to my case?

Thank you. N.

Re: Cancelation of final trade contract

If the salesman came to your home in NJ, the 3 day cancellation period would apply. Also, if the contract was procured by trickery, it is voidable at your option when you learn of it regardless of any waiting period. There may also be a good case for a Consumer Fraud claim.
