How much time do you have to change your mind after signing a contract? The FTC's three day “cooling off” period allows consumers to void a contract they have signed within three business days without incurring any penalties.
You can get out of a binding contract under certain circumstances. There are seven key ways you can get out of contracts: mutual consent, breach of contract, contract rescission, unconscionability, impossibility of performance, contract expiration, and voiding a contract.
A federal law allows consumers to cancel contracts made with a door-to-door salesperson or anywhere other than the seller's normal place of business within three days of signing. The three-day period is called a "cooling off" period.
Homeowners who enter into contracts with contractors to improve, remodel or repair their homes almost always have a right to cancel the contract, without any penalty or obligation, within three business days after signing the contract.
Unless there is a three-day right of rescission written expressly into the contract, there is no three-day right of rescission or “cooling-off” period under Arizona law.
