I'd like it if you all could place it in one spot, as much info as you can. Then the officials etc can see for themselves what we have to deal with and how they're mainly islanders.

Also, you can get them on their verbal bullshit, they must supply a contract and cooling off period.

If a customer decides to buy a good or service valued more than $75 from a door-to-door salesperson, the law provides additional protection. They must be given a written contract setting out the terms (eg. full amount to be paid) and there is a mandatory 10 day cooling off period enabling consumers to change their minds without penalty during this time. A statement that the contract is subject to a 10 day cooling-off period must be provided in upper case writing (18 point type) and placed immediately above the space provided for the customer's signature. The contract must include the total price, including GST, of the goods or services provided or spell out how the total price is to be calculated.

During the cooling off period, you:
? should not ask for, or accept, any payment including deposits
? should not supply any services or commence work
? can leave goods with the customer, but this is at your own risk.
Customers must receive a copy of the contract after they sign it, a notice explaining their right to cancel and a form which they can easily use to advise you in writing that they wish to cancel the deal if they change their mind within the 10 days.
