Q: Can a company like Hollywood Body Laser make a person sign a contract for services and not have a cancellation period?
My wife was, in my opinion, railroaded into agreeing on $4,000 worth of body work at Hollywood Body Laser without consulting me first. We are in the middle of buying a new house and it would seriously hurt our chances of getting it adding on this debt. An HOUR later she tried to cancel and they refused to cancel the "contract" she signed. My wife won't allow me to file a complaint with the BBB because she doesn't want them messing with her body if they find out it was her husband who filed the complaint. Not having a cancellation period is unethical especially for something that is being done to your body. I have NO IDEA what this body sculpting stuff is. They used sales tactics to blind my wife's thought process and, again, "railroaded" her into signing a contract. They didn't go through the contract with her nor provide her a COPY of the contract. I know Colorado Contract Laws are made to protect the business but what about the consumer?
A: Contracts can be drafted to prevent a cancellation. If you feel that fraud/misrepresentation occurred, you can contact a lawyer to review your case.
