What to do next in Montana

  1. Read your contract's cancellation clause tonight. Compare it against the state window: 3 business days — Montana Personal Solicitation Sales Act, MCA §§ 30-14-501–30-14-505 (buyer may cancel until midnight of the third business day after signing; until the seller furnishes the required notice/copy, the buyer may cancel indefinitely). FTC Cooling-Off Rule (16 CFR Part 429) also applies.
  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 MCA §§ 30-14-501–30-14-505 (Personal Solicitation Sales Act — 3-business-day right to cancel; notice requirements), 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.
