Estimate visit at the customer's request
Quebec trade rule for construction and renovation, applicable throughout the Capitale-Nationale region.
The rule
Under the Consumer Protection Act (Loi sur la protection du consommateur), a contract concluded at the consumer's home at their express request is not an itinerant merchant contract, provided the consumer was not solicited elsewhere than at the merchant's address (art. 57). Atlas schedules the visit because the customer requested it, and the conversation that proves it stays in your CRM. If your team does door-to-door sales, the itinerant merchant rules apply: written contract (art. 58) and a 10-day right of cancellation (art. 59).
