N.Y. Personal Property Law Section 430
Duty of buyer

1.

Except as provided by subdivision four of section four hundred twenty-nine, within a reasonable time after a door-to-door sale has been cancelled or an offer to purchase revoked, the buyer upon demand shall tender to the seller any goods delivered by the seller pursuant to the sale but need not tender at any place other than his residence. If the seller fails to demand possession of such goods within a reasonable time after cancellation or revocation, the goods shall become the property of the buyer without obligation to pay for them. For the purpose of this section, twenty days shall be presumed to be a reasonable time.

2.

The buyer shall take reasonable care of the goods in his possession both before cancellation or revocation and for a reasonable time thereafter, during which time the goods are otherwise at the seller’s risk.

3.

If the seller has performed any services pursuant to a door-to-door sale prior to its cancellation, the seller shall not be entitled to compensation therefor.
