Not all purchases are eligible for cancellation under the Arizona buyer's remorse law. The law applies to purchases of $25 or more, and it must be a purchase that was made at the consumer's home or at a location other than the seller's regular place of business.
Examples of eligible purchases include purchases made from door-to-door salespeople, purchases made at a consumer's home, and purchases made at a location other than the seller's regular place of business, such as a fair or a trade show.
