Contracts & ExecutionQuestion 771 of 1605
A home improvement contract must be dated. The date is important primarily because it:
a.Starts the running of the three-day right to cancel
b.Fixes the warranty length
c.Determines the contractor's license expiration
d.Sets the property tax year
Explanation
The signing date is critical because the buyer's three-business-day (or five-day for seniors) right to cancel runs from that date; an undated contract obscures this deadline.
