Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cancel my extended warranty in Delaware?
Yes. While Delaware does not have a specific service contract cancellation statute, your contract should include cancellation provisions. The Delaware Consumer Fraud Act (Title 6, § 2511) protects you from deceptive practices related to warranty sales and cancellations.
What makes Delaware unique for warranty disputes?
Delaware's Justice of the Peace Court hears contract claims of up to $25,000 (10 Del. C. § 9301), which makes it practical to pursue a warranty refund dispute without a large lawsuit. The Consumer Fraud Act also gives victims of deceptive practices their own right to sue (6 Del. C. § 2525).
What penalties exist for Delaware dealers who violate the law?
Under the Delaware Consumer Fraud Act, a victim of a deceptive practice can bring a private lawsuit (6 Del. C. § 2525). The Attorney General can also sue for restitution and civil penalties of up to $10,000 per wilful violation (6 Del. C. § 2522).
