Alabama regulates door-to-door home solicitation sales statewide under the Home Solicitation Sales Act, providing a three-day buyer's right to cancel for purchases over $25, applying universally regardless of municipal solicitor permit requirements.
Alabama Code Sections 5-19-10 through 5-19-12 establish a statewide three-business-day right of cancellation for any consumer credit sale or cash sale over $25 made at a buyer's home through personal solicitation. The seller must provide written notice of the cancellation right at the time of sale and provide a Notice of Cancellation form. Additionally, Alabama Code Section 40-12-174 requires transient or itinerant vendors to obtain a state license and pay county-level transient business taxes before soliciting. These state requirements apply alongside local solicitor permits.
Violating the Home Solicitation Sales Act voids the contract and entitles consumers to refund. Operating as an unlicensed transient vendor is a misdemeanor with fines and tax penalties.
