cooling off

What is cooling off?

There is a possibility that a contract such as a surprise sales with high unexpected visit sales or a telephone solicitation sale or a transaction of a special sale method such as multimarket law · internal employment business law can not be judged calmly by a consumer. Cooling off is a system that gives consumers a deliberation period for a certain period of time for such sales methods and allows consumers to unilaterally withdraw applications and cancel contracts within that period. Consider that consumers think cool and have the opportunity to leave the contract (off).
Cooling off is stipulated that businesses can not claim compensation or penalty for consumers from businesses if they offer in writing in writing within that period.
