State Law Guide · Updated January 2026
Many F&I products allow cancellation for a pro-rata refund, but the contract, product type, timing, claims, and state law all matter.
Alaska Extended Warranty Cancellation Guide
Under Alaska Service Contracts Act, Alaska gives you the right to cancel and receive refunds on F&I products. You have a 30 days free look period for full refunds. Dealers who fail to comply face 10% per month penalty on late refunds; state civil penalty up to $2,500 per violation ($5,000 if knowing; $50,000 aggregate).
Quick Answer
Cancellation rights in Alaska depend on the product and contract. Upload yours to see which add-ons appear cancellable. During the first 30 days, you receive a full refund (minus up to 7.5% of unearned provider fee fee). Refunds must be issued within 45 days. You can sue in Small Claims Court for up to $10,000.
