Scientists accidentally kill world's oldest animal at age 507. The oldest animal ever known lived from 1499 until the day researchers cracked its shell open, killing it in the process.
For example, there is a federal law (and similar laws in every state) allowing consumers to cancel contracts made with a door-to-door salesperson within three days of signing. You might use that law after hastily agreeing to have someone repave your driveway, deliver lawn fertilizer, or put a new roof on your house.
If you wish to cancel your contract you will usually need to speak to your provider's customer service department. Make sure you're quick off the mark following a hike, though, as you can only quit within 30 days of receiving notice of the price increase.f you have signed up to a contract which also includes an expensive bit of kit, such as a mobile phone contract with a top-of-the range smartphone, you might have to give this back, or you may be able to negotiate with your provider to buy it out.
