When can a buyer cancel a contract signed at noon on Thursday, September 20?

  1. Noon on September 20

  2. Noon on September 27

  3. Midnight on September 26

  4. Midnight on September 20

The correct answer is: Noon on September 27

A buyer can typically cancel a contract within a specific timeframe dictated by the law or the terms of the contract itself. In many situations, the buyer is granted a cooling-off period that lasts a certain number of days from the time of signing the contract. In this scenario, if the contract was signed at noon on Thursday, September 20, the buyer generally has the right to cancel the contract until the end of the designated cancellation period, which here extends through the following week. If a common cooling-off period of seven days is applied, the buyer can cancel the contract until midnight on September 26, allowing them to make an informed decision without feeling rushed. Thus, the correct answer here reflects the conclusion of that window for cancellation, as it allows for the full duration of the cancellation period to be utilized.
