2006 New York Code - Restoration Of Down Payment.



 
    §  429.  Restoration  of  down  payment.  1.  Within  ten days after a
  door-to-door sale has been cancelled or an offer  to  purchase  revoked,
  the  seller shall tender to the buyer all payments made by the buyer and
  any note or other evidence of indebtedness.
    2. If the down payment includes goods traded in, the  goods  shall  be
  tendered  in  substantially  as  good  condition as when received by the
  seller. If the seller fails to tender the  goods  as  provided  by  this
  section,  the buyer may elect to recover an amount equal to the trade-in
  allowance stated in the agreement.
    3. If the seller refuses within the period prescribed  by  subdivision
  one  to return all payments made by the buyer, he shall be liable to the
  buyer for the said payments and if the buyer is successful in his action
  therefor or appeal thereon,  the  court  shall  award  him  one  hundred
  dollars  plus  reasonable attorney's fees and costs, in addition to such
  payments.
    4. Until the seller has complied with  this  section,  the  buyer  may
  retain possession of goods delivered to him by the seller and shall have
  a  lien  on  the  goods in his possession or control for any recovery to
  which he may be entitled.
