With a few exceptions, federal law requires sellers to give a customer
three business days to cancel most sales over $25 made in the customer's
home and give the customer a full refund.  The seller is required to give
the customer a separate two-part form to use to cancel the deal.  This
applies anywhere in the United States, and it is not an option -- it's
federal law.
