Door-to-door sales in Saskatchewan: licensed sellers and your 10-day cancellation right

The FCAA regularly warns about unlicensed door-to-door sellers in Saskatchewan. The rules are simple, and they give you a way out of a pressured sale.

Sellers must be licensed

All door-to-door salespeople, also called direct sellers, must be licensed in Saskatchewan. Ask to see the licence and check whether the seller is listed on FCAA411.

Written contracts and cancellation rights

Contracts must be in writing unless the sale is under $100, and every direct sales contract must include a statement of cancellation rights.

10 days to cancel

You can cancel from the day you enter the contract until 10 days after you receive a copy of the contract or statement. You do not need a reason. Send notice in a way that proves it was sent, such as registered mail, fax or personal delivery.

Refund

After cancellation, the vendor must refund all money received under the contract within 15 days.

Older text

An older published version of The Direct Sellers Act describes a shorter period. Rely on the FCAA's current statement of cancellation rights, and check the current Act if a seller disputes it.

Prevention Checklist

• Ask for the seller's licence and check FCAA411.
• Make sure you get a written contract and statement of cancellation rights.
• Cancel within 10 days of receiving your copy, with proof of sending.
• Expect a refund within 15 days.
