Outcome

The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment finding that while the defendant violated the Home Solicitation Sales Act by failing to provide notice of the three-day right to cancel, the plaintiff was not entitled to a full refund of all monies paid because the damages award was not supported by sufficient evidence.

What This Ruling Means

**What Happened** In Lopez v. KIINI, LLC, a customer (Lopez) sued a company after purchasing something through door-to-door sales. Lopez claimed the company broke the law by not properly telling him about his legal right to cancel the purchase within three days, as required by the Home Solicitation Sales Act. He wanted all his money back from the company. **What the Court Decided** The appeals court agreed that the company did violate the law by failing to give Lopez proper notice about his three-day cancellation right. However, the court ruled that Lopez could not get a full refund of all the money he paid. The court found there wasn't enough evidence to support giving him that much money back in damages. **Why This Matters for Workers** This case shows that even when companies break consumer protection laws, getting your money back isn't automatic. You need strong evidence to prove how much you were actually harmed. If you're involved in door-to-door sales as a worker, make sure your employer follows proper notification rules. As a consumer, keep detailed records of any purchases and know your cancellation rights under state laws.
