In the first 10 | '''In the first 10 days'''—you have up to 10 days to cancel a contract after you sign it and get a copy of it. In fact, the contract has to say that you have this right to cancel any time within the first 10 days. | ||
Partway through a | '''Partway through a contract'''—you can cancel a continuing services contract if there’s been a material (significant) change in the services that the seller was going to provide or in your personal situation. For example, you signed up for tango lessons and the seller now offers only tap-dancing classes. Or the seller moved their dance studio. Or you moved more than 30 kilometers away and the business can’t provide the same service in your new location. Or you signed up for boot-camp but broke your leg. In each case, you would have to show what the material change was (for example, proof of your new address or medical documentation explaining why you can no longer participate in the activity). | ||
If you cancel because of a significant change in your personal situation, you can get a pro-rated refund based on how much of the service you’ve used, minus 30% to cover the seller’s costs. If you cancel because the seller’s services changed, you can get a pro-rata refund without any deduction. | If you cancel because of a significant change in your personal situation, you can get a pro-rated refund based on how much of the service you’ve used, minus 30% to cover the seller’s costs.
