§15-721.


§15-721.
   
   No person, firm, partnership, association or corporation, or agent or
   employee thereof, shall, in any manner, or by any means, offer for
   sale in this state, goods, wares, or merchandise, where the offer
   includes the voluntary and unsolicited sending of such goods, wares,
   or merchandise not actually ordered or requested by the recipient,
   either orally or in writing. The receipt of any such goods, wares, or
   merchandise shall for all purposes be deemed an unconditional gift to
   the recipient who may use or dispose of such goods, wares, or
   merchandise in any manner he sees fit without any obligation on his
   part to the sender. Provided, however, that where solicited goods,
   wares or merchandise are delivered to the wrong person by accident or
   by the mistake of the delivery or mail service, such delivery shall
   not constitute an offer subject to this act, and provided that the
   provisions of this act shall not apply to goods of equal or greater
   value and at no additional cost, substituted for goods ordered or
   solicited by the recipient.
   
   If after any such receipt deemed to be an unconditional gift under
   this section, the sender continues to send bill statements or requests
   for payment with respect thereto, an action may be brought by the
   recipient to enjoin such conduct, in which action there may also be
   awarded reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the prevailing party.
