Contract Cancellation

Service Contract Cancellation

SCRA allows you to cancel many service contracts without early termination fees when you receive PCS orders, deployment orders, or enter active duty. Here's who to contact and how.

Gym Memberships

Cancel gym contracts without paying early termination fees.

Cell Phone Contracts

Suspend or cancel wireless service when deploying or PCSing overseas.

Note on Device Payments

SCRA allows you to cancel the service contract, but you may still owe for device payment plans (phones purchased on installment). Some carriers offer military suspension options that pause both service and device payments.

Internet & Cable Service

Cancel or transfer internet and cable contracts for PCS moves.

Storage Units

Cancel storage contracts when relocating due to military orders.

Cancelling Service Contracts Under SCRA

What You Need

  • Military orders (PCS, deployment, or activation)
  • Orders must be for 90+ days
  • Written notice to the provider
  • Copy of orders attached to notice

When Cancellation Takes Effect

For service contracts like gyms and cell phones, cancellation typically takes effect on the earliest date after you provide notice that:

  • Falls after the date of your military orders
  • Allows for any required notice period

What They Can't Charge

  • Early termination fees
  • Administrative cancellation fees
  • Penalties for breaking the contract

What You May Still Owe

  • Service used before cancellation
  • Equipment charges (modems, phones)
  • Unpaid balances from before notice
