You’re protected by your written agreement, and a clear “No Refunds” clause signed by the client generally bars them from demanding a refund in contract.

Under Nevada law, courts enforce unambiguous terms in a written contract, and a blanket “No Refunds” provision—even without... View More

Yes, you have the right to revoke ACH authorization at any time, especially if the contract you signed clearly states that. Revoking that authorization means the app can no longer pull funds directly from your bank account, but it doesn’t erase the debt itself. The agreement you entered into is... View More
