Are apps &quot;delivered by a door-to-door salesman&quot; in any way, according to FTC rules?
<p>If a person buys an app on the Google Play store, is the person &quot;buying from a door-to-door salesman&quot; or not?</p>
<p>That is, the FTC has a mandatory 3-day &quot;<a href="https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings/cooling-period-sales-made-home-or-other" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Cooling-off Period for Sales Made at Home or Other Locations</a>.&quot;</p>
<p>I'm asking because the buyer does not visit any physical location, but no salesman comes to the buyer's house.  Does the 3-day cooling-off period apply?</p>

<h2>No</h2>
<p>Via the <a href="https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0176-buyers-remorse-when-ftcs-cooling-rule-may-help" rel="noreferrer">FTC</a> (emphasis added):</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The Cooling-Off Rule does not cover sales that are:</p>
<p>...</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>made entirely online</strong>, or by mail or telephone;</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
