Services pursuant to section 8.5 or 18, you may terminate the Merchant
Agreement upon written notice received by Processor from you prior to the
effective date of such change, and, if applicable, no Early Cancellation Fee
will be charged.. However, your continued use of our Services after the
effective date of any increase shall be deemed acceptance of the increased

terminate the obligations and rights of the parties pursuant to provisions of
this Agreement which by their terms are intended to survive or be perpetual
or irrevocable. Such provisions shall survive the expiration or termination of

Merchant Agreement is terminated by us prior to the expiration of the initial
term due to an Event of Default, we will suffer a substantial injury for which

agree to pay us as an “Early Cancellation Fee” the amount of three

of the losses that we will incur as a result of the cancellation of this
