MHIC NASCLA Contractors Practice Exam

If both parties signed a contract for replacement windows at a trade show, is this sale governed by the Door-to-Door Sales Act?

1. Yes

2. No

3. It depends on the location

4. Only if agreed by both parties

The correct answer is: Yes

The sale of replacement windows at a trade show is indeed governed by the Door-to-Door Sales Act. This act typically applies to sales made at locations that are not permanent business locations, which includes trade shows. The act aims to protect consumers from high-pressure sales tactics commonly associated with door-to-door sales, which can include situations like those occurring at trade shows. When both parties sign a contract in this context, it reinforces that the consumer rights protections under the Door-to-Door Sales Act would apply. This means that consumers would have specific rights, including the ability to cancel the sale within a certain timeframe, as the nature of the sale does not occur at a conventional retail setting. Thus, the answer aligns with the intent and provisions of the Door-to-Door Sales Act. Other choices may not fully consider the environment in which the sale took place. The act specifically addresses the sale conditions rather than just the agreement of both parties or the location itself, which would render those options less accurate in this context.
