I found this helpful last year when one of my employees bought a vacuum cleaner from a door to door saleman.

The Fair Trading Act allows you to cancel a sale within 10 days of receiving your copy of the signed contract if:

• The purchase was for more than $25
• The purchase was made away from the seller’s normal place of business
• The purchase was intended primarily for your personal, family or household use

This is what, IMO, makes this section of the AB FTA useless in this situation. This part of the act relates to direct sellers (door to door salesman) and was enacted to stop some of their shady activities. It wouldn't apply in this case, as it was purchased at the seller's normal place of business.
