What is required from the homeowner to cancel a home alarm contract signed at home?

• A. A written cancellation
• B. A verbal cancellation
• C. An email to the vendor without receipt
• D. A signed new contract

Answer: (A)

When a contract for a home alarm signed at the homeowner’s residence is under a cooling-off rule, the cancellation must be provided in writing. A written cancellation creates a clear, verifiable record of your intent and the date it was sent, which helps prevent later disputes about whether you canceled in time. Verbal cancellations lack a durable record, and an email without proof of receipt may not demonstrate timely delivery. A signed new contract does not automatically terminate the old one. Therefore, submitting a written cancellation is the proper requirement.
