• Consumers should be clearly informed about their right to cancel the sales agreement within 15 days from the date of the contract.

• A cancellation form should be attached to the doorstep contract.

• Doorstep sellers are to leave the consumer’s house or workplace when requested.

• Up to 10 per cent of the price may only be requested as a deposit after the 15-day cancellation period has expired.
