We are building a SaaS paid with PayPal.

We process PayPal's notifications for payments, subscriptions, and canceling 
subscriptions.

Should we also process refunds (automatically canceling a service if its 
payment was refunded)?

There is a reason not to: Refunds may happen in the case we do an error in 
our payment processing system or a race condition. In this case refund 
should not cancel the service, for obvious reasons.

What are further arguments pro and counter to cancel or not to cancel a 
service automatically in the case of a refund?
