A system that allows consumers to unilaterally terminate a contract within a certain period of time from the time of the contract. Once a contract is established, it cannot be unilaterally terminated, but since consumers often suffer damage from installment sales and door-to-door sales, this system has been implemented in the United States and other European countries (especially Northern Europe). In the United States, it was established in the Consumer Credit Protection Act of 1968. In Japan, this system was also implemented through the Installment Sales Act (1973, revised law) and the Act on Door-to-Door Sales, etc. (1976).

契約時点から一定の期間内なら消費者が一方的に契約を解除できるとする制度。いったん成立した契約は一方的に解消できないが,割賦販売や訪問販売により消費者が被害を被る場合が多いことから,アメリカをはじめとするヨーロッパ各国(とくに北欧)でこの制度が実施されるようになった。アメリカにおいては1968年の消費信用保護法で確立された。日本でも割賦販売法(1973,改正法),訪問販売等に関する法律(1976)などによりこの制度が行われるようになった。
