Occupations Code § 702.308

Sec. 702.308. CANCELLATION OF CONTRACT FOR PARTIAL REFUND. (a) A member may cancel a contract and receive a refund of unearned payments made under the contract by sending written notice of cancellation, accompanied by proof of payment made under the contract, by certified mail to the certificate holder's home office if the certificate holder: (1) closes the health spa and fails to provide alternative facilities not more than 10 miles from the location of the health spa; (2) relocates the health spa more than 10 miles from its location preceding the relocation; or (3) fails to provide advertised services. (b) A member who dies or becomes totally and permanently disabled after the date a contract is entered into, or the member's estate, may cancel the contract and receive a refund of the unearned payments made under the contract by sending written notice of cancellation by certified mail to the certificate holder's home office. The certificate holder may require the member, or the member's estate, to provide reasonable proof of the member's death or disability. (c) A certificate holder who receives notice under Subsection (a) or (b) shall refund the unearned payments made under the contract to the member, or the member's estate, as appropriate, not later that the 30th day after the date notice is received. (d) In this section, the unearned payments are computed in the same manner as a member's actual financial loss is computed under Section 702.252, except that the date a contract is canceled is substituted for the date a health spa closes or relocates.
