N.D. Cent. Code § 9-14-03

9-14-03. Right of cancellation

1. Notwithstanding any contractual provision to the contrary, the customer has the

unconditional right to cancel a contract for invention development services for any

reason at any time before midnight of the third business day following the date the

invention developer and the customer sign the contract and the customer receives a

fully executed copy of it. Written notice of cancellation may be delivered personally or

by mail. If given by mail, the notice is effective upon placement in the possession of

the United States postal service, properly addressed and first-class postage prepaid.

Notice of cancellation need not take a particular form and is sufficient if it indicates, by

any form of written expression, the intention of the customer not to be bound by the

contract. Within ten business days after receipt of the notice of cancellation, the

invention developer shall deliver to the customer, personally or by mail, all moneys

paid, any note or other evidence of indebtedness, and all materials provided by the

customer.

2. Every contract for invention development services must contain the following

statement in ten-point boldface type immediately above the place where the customer

signs the contract:

The three-business-day period during which you may cancel this contract for any

reason by mailing or delivering written notice to the invention developer will expire

on (last date to mail or deliver notice). If you choose to mail your notice, it must

be placed in the United States mail addressed to (name of invention developer),

at (address of invention developer's place of business) with first-class postage

prepaid before midnight of this date. If you choose to personally deliver your

notice to the invention developer, it must be delivered to the invention developer

by five p.m. on this date.
