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.
