Case Details

I want to cancel the earthquake-resistant construction contract.

Housing Door‐to‐door sales

A business suddenly came and said, “If you don't add seismic reinforcement, your house will collapse in a major earthquake.” Although I didn't sign a contract on the spot, I signed an expensive contract later because I was tired of them keep coming. I would like to cancel the contract since now that I calmly reflect on it, it would be difficult to pay it as it is expensive.

Advice

You can cancel the contract if it is within 8 days of the cooling-off period as the business had visited you, which led to the signing of a contract. There is an example in which a person asked a business who kept recommending a repair construction during an easy inspection, which later led to the person to receive an expensive construction fee. Check if it is really necessary in the first place. Make contracts carefully.
