第五十八条の十四（訪問購入における契約の申込みの撤回等）
If a buyer has received an offer to enter into a sales contract for articles at a place other than an office or other location, or if a buyer has entered into a sales contract for articles at a place other than an office or other location (excluding the case where the buyer has received the offer at an office or other location and entered into the sales contract at a place other than an office or other location), the person making the offer or the counterparty to the sales contract (hereinafter referred to as the "offerer or purchaser" in this Article through the following Article) may withdraw the offer to enter into a sales contract or cancel the sales contract (hereinafter referred to as "withdrawal of an offer or cancellation" of a contract in this Article) in writing or through electronic or magnetic records; provided, however, that this does not apply when eight days have passed after the date on which the offerer or purchaser received the document referred to in Article 58-8, paragraph (1) or paragraph (2) (or when eight days have passed after the date on which the offerer or purchaser received the document referred to in Article 58-7, paragraph (1), if the offerer or purchaser received the document under Article 58-7 at an earlier date than that on which the offerer or purchaser received the document referred to in Article 58-8) (if the offerer or purchaser did not withdraw an offer or cancel the contract by that time limit because the offerer or purchaser was under the misconception that information about the withdrawal of an offer or cancellation of a contract that the buyer had misrepresented to the offerer or purchaser, in violation of the provisions of Article 58-10, paragraph (1), was true, or because the offerer or purchaser was overwhelmed due to the buyer's use of intimidation, in violation of the provisions of paragraph (3) of that Article, when eight days have passed after the date on which the offerer or purchaser has received a document delivered to them by the buyer pursuant to the provisions of order of the competent ministry that contains a notice to the effect that the offerer or purchaser may withdraw the offer to enter or cancel the sales contract).
購入業者が営業所等以外の場所において物品につき売買契約の申込みを受けた場合におけるその申込みをした者又は購入業者が営業所等以外の場所において物品につき売買契約を締結した場合（営業所等において申込みを受け、営業所等以外の場所において売買契約を締結した場合を除く。）におけるその売買契約の相手方（以下この条及び次条において「申込者等」という。）は、書面又は電磁的記録によりその売買契約の申込みの撤回又はその売買契約の解除（以下この条において「申込みの撤回等」という。）を行うことができる。ただし、申込者等が第五十八条の八第一項又は第二項の書面を受領した日（その日前に第五十八条の七第一項の書面を受領した場合にあつては、その書面を受領した日）から起算して八日を経過した場合（申込者等が、購入業者が第五十八条の十第一項の規定に違反して申込みの撤回等に関する事項につき不実のことを告げる行為をしたことにより当該告げられた内容が事実であるとの誤認をし、又は購入業者が同条第三項の規定に違反して威迫したことにより困惑し、これらによつて当該期間を経過するまでに申込みの撤回等を行わなかつた場合には、当該申込者等が、当該購入業者が主務省令で定めるところにより当該売買契約の申込みの撤回等を行うことができる旨を記載して交付した書面を受領した日から起算して八日を経過した場合）においては、この限りでない。
The withdrawal of an offer or cancellation of a contract takes effect at the time the withdrawal of the offer or cancellation of the contract is stated in writing or through notification of electronic or magnetic records.
The party to a sales contract who constitutes the offerer or purchaser may duly assert the cancellation of the sales contract under the provisions of paragraph (1) against a third party; provided, however, that this does not apply if that third party constitutes a non-negligent third party in good faith.
If a person withdraws an offer or cancels a contract, a buyer may not claim damages or demand the payment of any penalty in connection with the withdrawal of the offer or cancellation of the contract.
If a person withdraws an offer or cancels a contract, and the price for the sales contract has already been paid, the buyer bears the costs required for returning its price and the interest.
Any special provisions of a contract that run counter to the provisions of the preceding paragraphs and that are disadvantageous to the offerer or purchaser are invalid.
