I am purchasing from a seller, but the seller has not transferred his payment yet. If the 24hr period runs out does my locked BTC get released back to me?

I do not recall how it works exactly, the arbitator may need to chime in after 24hours ends, but dont worry you will receive back any locked funds & deposit.
