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)

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.
