Common Questions
What is a cooling-off period?
A cooling-off period gives you the right to cancel a purchase and get a refund without giving a reason. The length and rules vary by country: UK/EU offers 14 days for online purchases, US has 3 days for door-to-door sales, Australia has 10 business days for unsolicited sales.
Does it apply to in-store purchases?
Generally no - most countries don't require a cooling-off period for in-store purchases. However, many retailers offer voluntary return policies. Faulty goods are always protected.
What about US online purchases?
The US has no federal cooling-off period for online purchases, but many retailers offer 30-day return policies. State laws may provide additional protections for specific products.
