SECTION 430
Duty of buyer
Personal Property (PEP) CHAPTER 41, ARTICLE 10-A
§ 430. Duty of buyer. 1. Except as provided by subdivision four of
section four hundred twenty-nine, within a reasonable time after a
door-to-door sale has been cancelled or an offer to purchase revoked,
the buyer upon demand shall tender to the seller any goods delivered by
the seller pursuant to the sale but need not tender at any place other
than his residence. If the seller fails to demand possession of such
goods within a reasonable time after cancellation or revocation, the
goods shall become the property of the buyer without obligation to pay
for them. For the purpose of this section, twenty days shall be presumed
to be a reasonable time.

2. The buyer shall take reasonable care of the goods in his possession
both before cancellation or revocation and for a reasonable time
thereafter, during which time the goods are otherwise at the seller's
risk.

3. If the seller has performed any services pursuant to a door-to-door
sale prior to its cancellation, the seller shall not be entitled to
compensation therefor.
