State Law Guide
Many F&I products allow cancellation for a pro-rata refund, but the contract, product type, timing, claims, and state law all matter.
Arkansas Extended Warranty Cancellation Guide
Under Arkansas Motor Vehicle Service Contract Act, Arkansas 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 Insurance Commissioner investigation and enforcement, with providers subject to the insurance Trade Practices Act to the extent it can appropriately be applied to service contracts (Ark. Code §§ 4-90-510, 4-90-511; § 23-66-201 et seq.).
Quick Answer
Cancellation rights in Arkansas 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 $50 fee). You can sue in Small Claims Court for up to $5,000.

Can I cancel my extended warranty in Arkansas?
