  • Sales under $25
  • Sales made entirely by mail or telephone
  • Sales made as a result of prior negotiation at seller's permanent place of business
  • Emergency home repairs when you waive your right to cancel
  • Real estate, insurance, or securities
  • Automobiles, vans, trucks, or other motor vehicles sold at temporary locations, provided the seller has at least one permanent place of business.
  • Arts or crafts sold at fairs or locations such as shopping malls, civic centers, and schools.
