I am pretty certain that many items can be 'pre-ordered' and layaway terms offered well before a release date is known and sometimes even before a final price is known, so this statement is basically null and void. Pre-order is basically a form of layaway anyway. Put down deposit, wait for product to be released, pay balance. Pretty sure that you can generally cancel a pre-order at no cost though but the layaway cancellation would still apply.

I don't see how that makes any difference anyway. Release date or no release date, the contract is still the contract. If there is a law that states that for any layaway deal to be entered into there must be a specific delivery date, then that's something completely different. Failing that, then I don't see how a lack of exact release date makes any difference. No one has shown us anything that states that the law is one way or the other.

If the contract is signed without any specific release date then the customer has no come back. Morally it is different story but contractually not.
