A. Except as provided by the provisions on retention of goods by the consumer (R.S. 9:3540(D)), within a reasonable time after a home solicitation sale has been cancelled or an offer to purchase revoked, the consumer upon demand must tender to the seller any goods delivered by the seller pursuant to the sale but he is not obligated to tender at any place other than his residence. If the seller fails to demand possession of goods within a reasonable time after cancellation or revocation, the goods become the property of the consumer without obligation to pay for them. For the purpose of this section, forty days is presumed to be a reasonable time.
B. The consumer has a duty to take reasonable care of the goods in his possession before cancellation or revocation and for a reasonable time thereafter, during which time the goods are otherwise at the seller's risk.
C. If the seller has performed any services pursuant to a home solicitation sale prior to its cancellation, the seller is entitled to no compensation except the cancellation fee provided in this part.
