§ 445. Duty of buyer. 1. Except as provided in subdivision four of

section four hundred forty-four of this article, within a reasonable

received written notice from the seller that the buyer's charge account

has been recredited, the buyer upon demand shall tender to the seller

section, twenty days shall be presumed to be a reasonable time.

both before cancellation 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 telephone

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

compensation therefor.
