CSLB Law & Business ExamContract Requirements and ExecutionEasy
Under California law, the Notice of Cancellation attached to a home improvement contract must be printed in at least what size and style of type?
- A12-point italic type
- B14-point regular type
- C8-point regular type
- D10-point boldface type
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. 10-point boldface type
California law requires the Notice of Cancellation to be conspicuous, printed in at least 10-point boldface type, so the homeowner cannot overlook the cancellation right. This is a minimum formatting standard, not a suggestion.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Italic type is not the required style; boldface is required.
- B. Larger than required, though not itself a violation, it is not the correct minimum stated in law.
- C. Too small to meet the conspicuousness requirement.
Notice of Cancellation Formatting
The Notice of Cancellation form must be printed in at least 10-point boldface type so it is clearly noticeable to the homeowner.
- Must be at least 10-point type
- Must be boldface
- Purpose is to make the cancellation right conspicuous
Memory trick: Bold and big so the buyer can't miss it.
