In addition to any other right of rescission provided by applicable State or federal laws, the owner has the right to cancel a distressed property conditional conveyance contract or a distressed property conveyance contract with a distressed property purchaser until midnight of the 10th business day following the day on which the owner signs the contract, or until the conclusion of a sheriff's sale pursuant to the provisions of the "Fair Foreclosure Act," P.L.1995, c.244 (C.2A:50-53 et seq.), whichever occurs first, during which the owner may have an attorney review the contract. b. Cancellation of the contract occurs when the owner, or an attorney representing the owner, delivers, by any means, written notice of cancellation to the address specified in the contract. Notice of cancellation, if given by mail, is effective when deposited in the mail properly addressed with postage prepaid. Notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address specified in the contract, shall be conclusive proof of notice of cancellation. c. A notice of cancellation given by the owner, or an attorney representing the owner, need not take the particular form as provided with the contract, and however expressed, is effective if it indicates the intention of the owner not to be bound by the contract. d. Within 10 business days following receipt of a notice of cancellation delivered in accordance with this section, the distressed property purchaser shall return to the owner, without condition, any original contract and any other documents signed by the owner. e. The 10 business days during which the owner, or an attorney representing the owner, may cancel the contract shall not begin to run until all parties to the contract have executed the contract and the distressed property purchaser has complied with all the requirements of this section.
