Full text

(b) You must maintain records showing each individual shipper's request to cancel a shipment and the disposition of each request for a period of three years after the date of a shipper's cancellation request. If you refunded a deposit, your records must include: (1) Proof that the individual shipper cashed or deposited the check or money order, if the financial institution provides documentary evidence; or (2) Proof that you delivered the refund check or money order to the individual shipper.
