Service Provider must either approve or dispute the Client’s cancellation within four (4) calendar days. If Service Provider takes no action within four (4) calendar days from the date of the notification of cancellation, the Contract shall be considered canceled. If Service Provider disputes the cancellation, the Dispute will be resolved pursuant to the Dispute Resolution Program. When Service Provider or Client terminates a Contract, Service Provider and Client agree that CarrySquad is authorized and irrevocably instructed to immediately release to the respective party, all funds held by CarrySquad associated with such Contract, less all Service Fees.
