“Door-to-door sale” means any sale, purchase, lease or rental of any consumer goods or services with a purchase price of $25 or more which is the result of any door-to-door solicitation or personal solicitation by the seller or his or her representative, whether at the specific invitation of the buyer or not, and which is made at a place other than the place of business of the seller. The term “door-to-door sale” does not include a transaction:

1. Made pursuant to a preexisting retail charge agreement or pursuant to prior negotiations between the parties at or from a retail business establishment having a fixed permanent location where the goods are exhibited or the services are offered for sale on a continuing basis.

2. In which the consumer is accorded the right of rescission by the provisions of the Consumer Credit Protection Act (15 U.S.C. § 1635) or regulations issued pursuant thereto.

3. In which the buyer has initiated the contact and the goods or services are needed to meet a bona fide immediate personal emergency of the buyer, and the buyer furnishes the seller with a separate dated and signed personal statement in the buyer’s handwriting describing the situation requiring immediate remedy and expressly acknowledging and waiving the right to cancel the sale within 3 business days.

4. Conducted and consummated entirely by mail or telephone, and without any other contact between the buyer and the seller or its representative prior to delivery of the goods or performance of the service.

5. In which the buyer has initiated the contact and specifically requested the seller to visit his or her home for the purpose of repairing or performing maintenance upon the buyer’s personal property. If in the course of the visit, the seller sells the buyer the right to receive additional services and goods other than replacement parts necessarily used in performing the maintenance or in making the repairs, the sale of those additional goods or services would not fall within this exclusion.

6. Pertaining to the sale or rental of real property, to the sale of insurance or to the sale of securities or commodities by a broker-dealer registered with the Securities Exchange Commission.
