Is it possible to still cancel my roofing contract

[evergreen11269]

I signed a contract with the roofing company on Friday Sep 08 2017 in State of MN. I also paid him a $8000 check. I texted the contractor on Sunday Sep 10 2017 that I would like to cancel the contract with him, so call me first thing Monday morning Sep 11 2017. He never called. I called him again in the morning and left VM. I also sent him an email in the morning sharing my concerns and the intent to cancel. He has not been returning my calls/emails/text. Is there any way I can cancel this contract without any penalty. What is my best course of action? I have included some of the language from the contract, I do not understand. It does not explain what my legal right to cancel is. "If Agreement is breached or canceled by Customer AFTER the legal right to cancel"

If I can cancel it. What do I need to do. This guys is not responding to any of my communication attempts.

Please help. Thanks!!!

** My neighbor gave me his information as he grew up with his son and advised me to have him come out and look at the roof.


If Agreement is breached or canceled by Customer AFTER the legal right to cancel, there will be a fee equal to fifteen percent (l5%) of the Agreement price to be paid to Results Contracting as liquidated damages.

Here the law in the cooling off period in your state.

Home Solicitation Sales
Minnesota’s Home Solicitation Sales Act—commonly known as the “Three-Day Cooling-Off Law”—applies to the sale, lease, or rental of any of the following: goods or services primarily for personal or household use, and improvements to real property, so long as the transaction is worth more than $25 and occurs in your home or at a place other than the seller’s normal place of business (e.g., motels and convention centers). When a transaction is covered by the Three-Day Cooling-Off Law, you have three business days to cancel the contract.
Under the law, you must make cancellation requests in writing to the address provided by the seller. You are encouraged to send cancellation requests by certified mail through the United States Postal Service and keep a copy of the request for your records. While not legally required, mailing the cancellation request by certified mail will give you proof that your request was timely. After the contract is cancelled, the seller must refund your money within 10 days.
If the Three-Day Cooling-Off Law applies to a transaction, the seller is required to give you notice of your right to cancel in three different forms:
The seller must orally explain your right to cancel.
The seller must give you a receipt or copy of the contract that includes the date of the transaction, the seller’s name and address, and a statement regarding the right to cancel located near the signature block on the contract or on the front of the receipt if a contract is not used.
The seller must attach to the receipt or contract two copies of a completed form, entitled, “NOTICE OF CANCELLATION,” which includes a description of the goods or services purchased, the date of the transaction, and a detailed explanation of how the contract may be cancelled. The form required by law for this notice can be found at Minnesota Statutes section 325G.08.
Until all three forms of notice are provided properly, you have a continuing right to cancel the contract that extends beyond three business days. Once the seller provides notice properly, the three business days right to cancel begins to run.
