(5) The buyer may not cancel a home solicitation sale if:

(5)(a) the buyer requests the seller to provide goods or services without delay because of an emergency;
(5)(b) the seller in good faith makes a substantial beginning of performance of the contract before the buyer gives notice of cancellation; and
(5)(c) in the case of goods, the goods cannot be returned to the seller in substantially as good condition as when received by the buyer.
