(1) An obligee may cancel a private child support enforcement service contract with a collector at any time within thirty days of signing the contract or after any twelve consecutive months in which the collector fails to make a collection. The notification of cancellation shall be in writing and shall be effective upon receipt of the notice by the collector.

No other fees or costs shall be assessed for the cancellation of the contract.
(3) An obligee shall have no obligation pursuant to the private child support enforcement service contract if:
(a) The obligee cancels the contract:
(I) At any time before midnight of the thirtieth business day after signing the contract; or
(II) After any twelve consecutive months in which the private child support collector fails to make a collection; or
(b) The collector violates this article 17 with respect to the contract.
