According to the traditional rule, if Sam, a minor, purchased a television from an electronics shop with a $$100$ down payment on a one$-$year credit contract and accidentally damaged it a week after he took it home, he could return the television to the store in its damaged condition and tell the owner he was rescinding the contract. Sam would then be entitled to the return of his $$100$ down payment minus the cost of the damages.

True or False?
