A direct sales contract is a contract signed at a place away from the seller’s permanent place of business, for example, at your home. There’s a limit to the down-payment the seller can ask from you. If, for example, you buy a vacuum cleaner from a door-to-door salesman who comes to your home, the direct seller can’t ask for a down-payment of more than $100 or 10% of the purchase price, whichever is less. But if you invite a supplier into your home more than 24 hours in advance, then a contract signed with the supplier isn’t a direct sales contract. | A direct sales contract is a contract signed at a place away from the seller’s permanent place of business, for example, at your home.

A continuing services contract is a contract where you receive services over a period of time, rather than all at once. It is limited to contracts for dance lessons, personal training (i.e., a boot camp), weight loss programs, self defence lessons, and gym and travel club memberships. A continuing services contract must not be for longer than 24 months. | =A continuing services contract is a contract where you receive services over a period of time, rather than all at once.
