For subscription amounts received through ACH transfers, Federal regulations provide Subscribers with the right to recall, cancel or otherwise dispute the transaction for a period of up to 60 days following the transactions. Similarly, subscription amounts processed by credit or debit card transactions are subject to recall, chargeback, cancellation or other dispute for a period of up to 180 days following the transaction.
