Official statutory text

Within a reasonable time after a home solicitation sale has been cancelled or an offer to purchase has been revoked, the seller may demand and receive any goods delivered by him to the buyer as the result of the home solicitation sale. The buyer shall not be obligated to tender such goods to the seller at any place other than the buyer's residence. If the seller fails to demand possession of goods within such reasonable time, such goods shall become the buyer's property without any obligation to pay for them. For the purposes of this section, twenty days shall be presumed to be a reasonable time. The buyer shall take reasonable care of such goods in his possession before cancellation or revocation and for a reasonable time thereafter, during which time the goods are otherwise at the seller's risk. Where the seller has performed any service pursuant to a home solicitation sale prior to its cancellation or prior to giving the statement required in section one hundred thirty-three of this article, he shall not be entitled to any compensation for such performance.
