buyer's remorse
arrependimento = regret (about the agreement to purchase/provide services)
In Brasil: "O Código de Defesa do Consumidor (CODECON) prevê a possibilidade do consumidor se arrepender da aquisição de um produto ou serviço, quando ocorrer uma transação fora do âmbito do estabelecimento ou loja, fisicamente compreendido." (https://www.infoescola.com/direito/direito-de-arrependimento...
FTC has something similar: "The Cooling-Off Rule gives you three days to cancel certain sales made at your home, workplace, or dormitory, or at a seller’s temporary location, like a hotel or motel room, convention center, fairground, or restaurant."

Or maybe just "remorse" if it could include regret on the part of the one being contracted/hired and not just the buyer?

Example sentence:
Buyer’s remorse may be invoked to cancel this Agreement at any time prior to midnight of the third business day after the date of this Agreement, excluding Sundays and Holidays.

: This is the correct explanation, though I'd still use "cooling-off period" as the heading. I would use "buyer's remorse" to explain the legal validity of changing your mind and ending the contract.
