Eli is a door to door salesperson with Cleanco, a household cleaning manufacturer. James was approached by Eli and agreed to buy many items. James discussed his purchase with a friend. During the discussion James learned of the poor quality inherent in Cleanco's goods. James' friend also informed him that the provincial Consumer Protection legislation did contain a "cooling-off" period clause under which he can repudiate the contract without liability. James contacted Eli at his office and informed him of his decision to return the goods. Eli informed him that he is only entitled to do so when a product is bought in a store and not from a travelling salesperson. Eli is mistaken.
