Home canvassing regulation

No. The home canvassing regulation (which provides for the obligation to give certain pre-contract information to the customer and the right of withdrawal of the consumer for 14 days and which prohibits receiving a payment or any financial consideration for 7 days) applies only if the agreement is signed by the customer on the spot under the supervision of the salesperson who went to the customer’s home (or workplace) to make him buy a product or service, but not if the customer signs the agreement when he is alone, after the departure of the salesperson.

This is, for example, the case when a salesperson comes to a customer’s home, with the sole purpose of evaluating the work to be done or giving an estimate, without a commitment on the part of the customer, and the agreement is not signed until later (not immediately after the salesperson’s visit), in the premises of the commercial company or through a remote communication process (an email), based on the salesperson’s estimate.
