Provided all items below are complete, your cancellation will be processed within 5 business days of form submission. You will lose access to all Macaroni KID systems at this time, including your email. Cancellations must be submitted no later than the 1st of the month to avoid being charged licensing fees for the current month.

2. Complete all national campaign commitments. If you are part of a national/HQ campaign, your contract requires that you continue as a Publisher until your campaign deliverables are complete. You must also email the Campaign Manager in charge of the campaign to make them aware you are leaving.

- Clear Town Notifications. In the Admin Panel, click on the envelope at the top of the dashboard and then click the "Mark all as Read" button on the top right.

- Change Instagram handle (if applicable). If you have an older IG account that has your name as part of the handle, please change that to MacKid(territory) before submitting this form (e.g., MacKidSarasota).
- Remove two-factor authentication from your accounts:
  - Instagram: Log in to your account from your mobile device. Click on your profile image in the bottom-right corner, then click on the three bars in the top-right corner. Select "Settings," then "Security," and "Two-Factor Authentication" and uncheck any boxes you may have selected there.
  - Twitter: Log in to your account from your mobile device. Click on your profile image on the top-left corner, then click "Settings and Privacy," then "Account," then "Security," and then "Two-Factor Authentication." Make sure none of the options there are selected.
