An individual (the "canvasser ") canvasses off trade premises the services of a person carrying on an ancillary credit business if he solicits the entry of another individual (the "consumer ") into an agreement for the provision to the consumer of those services by making oral representations to the consumer, or any other individual, during a visit by the canvasser to any place (not excluded by subsection (2)) where the consumer, or that other individual as the case may be, is, being a visit—
carried out for the purpose of making such oral representations to individuals who are at that place, but
not carried out in response to a request made on a previous occasion.
A place is excluded from subsection (1) if it is a place where (whether on a permanent or temporary basis)—
the ancillary credit business is carried on, or
any business is carried on by the canvasser or the person whose employee or agent the canvasser is, or by the consumer.
