rescindable re·scind'a·ble adj.| Financial & Investment Dictionary: Rescind |
Cancel a contract agreement. The Truth in Lending Act confers the Right of Rescission which allows the signer of a contract to nullify it within three business days without penalty and have any deposits refunded. Contracts may also be rescinded in cases of fraud, failure to comply with legal procedures, or misrepresentation. For example, a contract signed by a child under legal age may be rescinded, since children do not have the right to take on contractual obligations.
| Real Estate Dictionary: Rescind |
To withdraw an Offer or contract. Regulation Z allows a 3-day period in which to rescind certain credit transactions.
Example: Abel offers to buy a certain house from Baker. Before Baker accepts, Abel rescinds the offer and, therefore, is not obligated to follow through on the purchase.
