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.
Maine Extended Warranty Cancellation Guide
Under Maine Service Contracts Law, Maine gives you the right to cancel and receive refunds on F&I products. You have a 20 days (mailed) / 10 days (at sale) free look period for full refunds. Dealers who fail to comply face 10% per month penalty on late refunds.
Quick Answer
Cancellation rights in Maine depend on the product and contract. Upload yours to see which add-ons appear cancellable. During the first 20 days (mailed) / 10 days (at sale), you receive a full refund (minus up to 10% of provider fee fee). Refunds must be issued within 45 days. You can sue in Small Claims Court for up to $10,000.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cancel my extended warranty in Maine?
Yes. Under 24-A M.R.S. § 7105, you can cancel within 20 days of the contract being mailed to you (or 10 days if delivered at the point of sale) for a full refund if no claims have been filed. Maine also has particularly strong protections — if a dealer sells you a service contract within 90 days of vehicle purchase, they cannot disclaim implied warranties, giving you extra protection.
What makes Maine unique for warranty protections?
Maine is one of only 10 states with a specific implied warranty law. If a dealer sells a service contract with a used car, they cannot disclaim implied warranties. This provides automatic warranty protection beyond the written terms.
What if a Maine dealer refuses my refund?
Under 24-A M.R.S. § 7105, a provider that fails to pay your refund within 45 days owes a 10% per month penalty on the late refund. File a complaint with the Maine Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
Where do I file a complaint in Maine?
Contact the Maine Attorney General Consumer Protection Division at (207) 626-8849. You can also file in small claims court for amounts up to $10,000.
