  • Late-fee cap: Oregon statute Or. Rev. Stat. §82.010 caps interest on unpaid invoices at 1.5% per month. Spell out the rate in writing on every invoice and in your contract — courts won't enforce undisclosed fees.
  • Right-to-cancel notice: Customers in Oregon get 72-hour cancellation rights on certain home-services contracts. Disclose this in your terms.
