The company offers several options for pricing and contract terms. None of these options mention early termination fees, and one included a cancelation fee. There are built-in agreements for one of their contract options to lease equipment, which GDPay itself discourages. Furthermore, the duration of its contracts with their multi-year agreement options is a bit lengthy. As such, the contract fine print should be thoroughly reviewed, and the same caution is recommended in regard to any fees that are not mentioned, such as batch fees, gateway fees, and support fees.
There are online marketplaces that customers should search which have explicitly negotiated no cancelation fees as part of their affiliation.
