What to do next in Indiana

  1. Read your contract's cancellation clause tonight. Compare it against the state window: Before midnight of the third business day after the consumer and supplier finally agree — IC 24-5-10 (Home Solicitation Sales Act); notice required per IC 24-5-10-9. 'Business day' means any day other than Sunday or a legal holiday (IC 24-5-10-1). FTC Cooling-Off Rule (16 CFR Part 429) applies nationwide: 3 business days for door-to-door sales of $25+.
  2. If the company never gave you a cancellation form, your federal 3-day clock may never have started — that's the loophole in our cooling-off guide.
  3. Past the window? Shift to the complaint path: where to file, and check whether savings were misrepresented (guide).
Get the notice written for you. The $39 SolarEscape Kit generates a cancellation letter citing IC 24-5-10 — Home Solicitation Sales Act (3-business-day cancellation; IC 24-5-10-9 notice; IC 24-5-10-12 refund within 10 business days), with your dates filled in — plus the complaint kit and bankrupt-installer playbook.
Not legal advice. This tool provides general information based on state statutes and the FTC Cooling-Off Rule as of October 2026. Laws change and every contract is different. For advice about your specific situation, talk to a consumer attorney or your state attorney general's office. We can't promise you can cancel — nobody can. What we do: tell you where the cancellation windows are, and what to do when they're closed.
