DirecTV Grace Period in California?

[insider66]

I see some kind of grace period here....State Attorneys General Accept $13 Million DIRECTV Settlement | Heartlander Magazine

As part of the settlement, DIRECTV agreed to provide consumers a complete set of documents forming the contract at or before installation; replace defective equipment without requiring consumers enter an additional contract; disclose all limitations on the availability of local channels and sports programming; allow a grace period for consumers to dispute charges different from the initial purchase price after receiving their first bill; replace defective leased equipment without charge except shipping costs; and clearly notify consumers at least 10 days before charging a cancellation or equipment fee.

All of this is true, however this thread is more of a question on if there is a trial period to try it out and compare it to FIOS and see if he'd like it. So none of that would apply in this case.

Claude is correct. There is NO grace period in California. Once it's installed and you sign your name, it's yours for two years.

In California....once you sign up for it you have three days to cancel but that is before they install it. After it's installed and working it's yours for two years.

The simplest way to find out is call the local office of your state attorney general's office.
