§ 430. Duty of buyer. 1. Except as provided by subdivision four of

section four hundred twenty-nine, within a reasonable time after a

door-to-door sale has been cancelled or an offer to purchase revoked,

for them. For the purpose of this section, twenty days shall be presumed

to be a reasonable time.

2. The buyer shall take reasonable care of the goods in his possession

both before cancellation or revocation and for a reasonable time

thereafter, during which time the goods are otherwise at the seller's

risk.

3. If the seller has performed any services pursuant to a door-to-door

sale prior to its cancellation, the seller shall not be entitled to

compensation therefor.
