Under California law, all customers who hire our services are required to execute a mandatory Contract for Services. This contract, under California Business and Professions Code Section 6410 provides for a limited 24 hour cancellation policy.
Fees paid are non-refundable except as per the limited cancellation policy outlined in Contract which provides as follows.
