It includes a sale in which the seller allows the buyer to purchase goods or services pursuant to a lender credit card.  It does not include a sale made pursuant to a preexisting open-end credit account, a sale made pursuant to prior negotiations between the parties at a business establishment at a fixed location where goods or services are offered or exhibited for sale or a sale that is subject to the provisions on the consumer's right to rescind certain transactions of the Federal Truth in Lending Act.  A sale that would be a home solicitation sale if credit were extended by the seller is a home solicitation sale although the goods or services are paid for in whole or in part by a consumer loan in which the lender is subject to defenses arising from the sale, section 3‑404.","path":["TITLE 9-A: MAINE CONSUMER CREDIT CODE","PART 5: HOME SOLICITATION SALES"],"source_url":"https://legislature.maine.gov/statutes/9-A/title9-Asec3-501.html","current_through":"October 1, 2025","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-04T15:12:24Z","sha256":"4354b5929bdf55fd1340f47311c48ae191070df8c801e47085f1a216751f2cb9","source_id":"us-me","stale":false,"prev":"us-me/9-a-m.r.s.-3-404-a","next":"us-me/9-a-m.r.s.-3-502"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
