Specifications
A minimum of 100 words is required for the initial post. Grammar and punctuation are important so points will be deducted for excessive mistakes. No texting language should be used at all. (Spell out the words and do not use numbers. ex. 4U should be written "for you").
Other students' discussion boards will not be visible to you until you create a thread and submit your initial post.
Respond to at least two of your classmates' posts. Responses must be thoughtful and respectful. Responses such as " I agree" or "great post" are not sufficient.
The Prompt
Some states give consumers the right to cancel certain contracts for any reason within a short period of time after entering into them. For example, consumers in California can get out of gym membership contracts by sending the gym a cancellation notice within five business days of joining. Similar statutes cover insurance, weight loss services, door-to-door sales, and home repair contracts. If these agreements meet all of the requirements for a contract, why would a state allow people to get out of them so easily? Is this good policy? Alternatively, if consumers can cancel these contracts, why not allow everyone to cancel any contract within a few days?
