§ 51:3165 — Consumer's right to cancel

§3165. Consumer's right to cancel
A motor vehicle service contract shall require every provider to permit the service
contract holder to return the motor vehicle service contract within twenty days of the date the
motor vehicle service contract was mailed to the service contract holder or within ten days
of delivery if the motor vehicle service contract is delivered to the service contract holder at
the time of sale or within a longer time period permitted under the motor vehicle service
contract. Upon return of the motor vehicle service contract to the provider within the
applicable time period, if no claim has been made under the motor vehicle service contract
prior to its return to the provider, the motor vehicle service contract is void and the provider
shall refund to the service contract holder, or credit the account of the service contract holder,
with the full purchase price of the motor vehicle service contract. The right to void the motor
vehicle service contract provided is not transferable and shall apply only to the original
service contract holder and only if no claim has been made prior to its return to the provider.
A ten percent penalty per month shall be added to a refund that is not paid or credited within
forty-five days after return of the motor vehicle service contract to the provider.
