If the notice is delivered or mailed before twelve o'clock midnight (12:00) of the third business day after you sign this contract, you are entitled to a refund of the entire consideration paid for the contract. The notice must be delivered or mailed to (insert name and mailing address of company). If you cancel, the club is required to return, within fourteen (14) days of the date on which you give notice of cancellation, any payments you have made. Until the buying club has complied with this section, the member may cancel the contract by notifying the buying club, in any manner and by any means, of the member's intention to cancel and the member is then entitled to a refund of the entire consideration paid for the contract. Acts 1986, ch. 863, § 1.
