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.

The client may cancel the contract by A People’s Choice Inc. a written statement to the effect that the contract is canceled.
