California Law on Dental Contract Buyer Remorse

Buyer remorse refers to when a person wishes to rescind a contract into which he has just entered. For dental offices in California, contracts may be rescinded by customers for up to three days after the agreement was made.

Buyer Remorse

Buyer remorse refers to a situation where a person enters into a contract only to decide after the fact that he does not want to be party to the agreement after all. In California, some industries have "cooling-off period" regulations, which allow buyers to exit the agreement as long as they do so within a certain period of time.

Dental Contracts

For dental contracts in California, there is a three-day cooling-off period and "three days" should here be understood as three business days, according to California Department of Consumer Affairs. However, the dental office must receive payment for any services provided under the contract before cancellation.

Law

The cooling-off period for dental contracts in California is governed by the California Civil Code Section 1689.3
