Text

(a) Except as provided in § 47-18-705(c) , within a reasonable time after a home solicitation sale has been cancelled or an offer to purchase revoked, the buyer upon demand must tender to the seller any goods delivered by the seller pursuant to the sale but the buyer is not obligated to tender at any place other than the buyer's residence. If the seller fails to demand possession of goods within twenty (20) days after cancellation or revocation, the goods become the property of the buyer without obligation to pay for them.
