Chapter 740 - Home Solicitation Sales Act
Section 42-139. - Buyer's obligations on cancellation.

(a) Except as provided in subsection (c) of section 42-138, within twenty days after a home solicitation sale has been cancelled the buyer, upon demand, shall tender to the seller any goods delivered by the seller pursuant to the sale, but he is not obligated to tender at any place other than his own address. If the seller fails to take possession of such goods within twenty days after cancellation the goods shall become the property of the buyer without obligation to pay for them.

(b) The buyer shall take reasonable care of the goods in his possession both prior to cancellation and during the twenty-day period following. During the twenty-day period after cancellation, except for the buyer's duty of care, the goods are at the seller's risk.
(c) If the seller has performed any services pursuant to a home solicitation sale prior to its cancellation, the seller is entitled to no compensation. If the seller's services result in the alteration of property of the buyer, the seller shall restore the property to substantially as good condition as it was in at the time the services were rendered.
