FAQ
Is this the same as NYC self-storage fines?
No. Self-storage uses a different schedule (6 RCNY 6-90: $750 / $900 / $1,000, and $3,500 for knowing violations). Click-to-cancel uses 6-47's $525 / $1,050 / $3,500 row.
Do I also have to refund after a bad cancel flow?
Yes. 5-110.2 ties liability to charges made after the customer first tried to cancel.
