745.05 PRESUMPTION OF HOME SOLICITATION SALE.
   Where a sale is made pursuant to negotiations that occur at a place other than the seller's fixed location business establishment where goods or services are offered or exhibited for sale, but the agreement or offer to purchase is signed at a seller's fixed location business establishment, a presumption arises that the sale was a home solicitation sale.
(Ord. 180-01. Passed 10-15-01.)
745.06 BUYER'S RIGHTS AFTER CANCELLATION.
   If, following the cancellation of a home solicitation sale by the buyer, the seller fails to return any goods traded in by the buyer, the buyer may elect to recover an amount equal to the trade-in allowance stated in the agreement. Until subsection (d)(4) of section 745.03 has been complied with by the seller, the buyer may retain possession of the goods delivered to him by the seller and has a lien on the goods in his possession or control for any recovery to which he is entitled. (Ord. 180-01. Passed 10-15-01.)
745.07 SELLER'S RIGHTS AFTER CANCELLATION.
   Except as provided in Section 745.06, within a reasonable time after a home solicitation sale has been canceled or an offer to purchase has been revoked, the buyer upon demand must make available to the seller any goods delivered by the seller pursuant to the sale. The goods made available shall not have been diminished in quantity nor subjected to unreasonable wear or use. The buyer is not obligated to make the goods available at any place other than his residence. If the buyer does make the goods available to the seller and the seller fails to pick them up within twenty days of the buyer's notice of cancellation the goods become the property of the buyer without obligation to pay for them. The buyer has the duty to take reasonable care of the goods in his possession before cancellation and twenty days thereafter, during which time the goods are otherwise at the seller's risk.
(Ord. 180-01. Passed 10-15-01.)
