  • doorstep selling - where a seller approaches you without your having expressly asked him, and you are outside business premises. Then you are in a situation covered by European legislation on contracts negotiated away from business premises: - if a seller, on his own initiative, visits you at your home or place of work; - if, for example, you have been invited to join an excursion whose purpose is to present products to you; - if you have been invited to join a sales party at a neighbour's house, over a cup of tea, for example.

Usage examples
  • Should the investment firm carry on cross-border business, the host Member State must treat those agents as being the firm itself; whereas, moreover, the door-to-door selling of transferable securities should not be covered by this Directive and the regulation thereof should remain a matter for national provisions.
