(b) No tobacco contract for the purchase of tobacco grown in this state shall be valid or binding unless:

(2) The tobacco contract is written in plain English; and

(3) The tobacco contract quotes the provisions of subsection (c) of this Code section.
(c)(1) The tobacco grower shall have a right to cancel a tobacco contract until 12:00 Midnight of the third business day after the day on which the tobacco grower signs the contract.

(2) Notice of cancellation under this subsection shall be given to the tobacco company at the place of business as set forth in the tobacco contract by certified mail or statutory overnight delivery, return receipt requested, which shall be posted not later than 12:00 Midnight on the third business day following execution of the tobacco contract.

(3) In the event of cancellation pursuant to this subsection, the tobacco grower shall refund to the tobacco company within ten days after the cancellation any consideration received by the tobacco grower from the tobacco company under the tobacco contract.

(4) Notice of cancellation given by the tobacco grower need not take any particular form and, however expressed, is effective if it indicates the intention of the tobacco grower not to be bound by the tobacco contract.
