2021 Oklahoma Statutes|Title 59. Professions and Occupations|§59-1151.21. Contract cancellation.

|A. When a person indicates a residential contractor will be paid by the proceeds of a property and casualty insurance policy and the person enters into a written contract with a residential contractor to provide goods and services with the understanding the insured is to pay from the proceeds of a property and casualty insurance policy claim, the person may cancel the contract within seventy-two (72) hours after the insured has received written notice from the insurer that all or any part of the claim has been denied. Cancellation is evidenced by the insured giving written notice of cancellation to the residential contractor at the address stated in the contract. Notice of cancellation, if given by mail, is effective upon deposit into the United States mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the contractor. Notice of cancellation need not take a particular form and is sufficient if it indicates, by any form of written expression, the intention of the insured not to be bound by the contract. |B. Before entering into a contract referred to in subsection C of this section, the residential contractor shall:1. Furnish the insured a statement in boldface letters in a minimum size of twelve-point type, in substantially the following form: “You may cancel this contract at any time within seventy-two (72) hours after you have received written notification from your insurer that your claim to pay for the goods and services to be provided under this contract has been denied. See attached Notice of Cancellation for an explanation of this right.”; and2.
